Yep, I know if a number has the same first six digits as mine there's a solid 95% probability it's spam. On rare occasions I'll get a text from a number in my area code with some variation of, "Do I know you?" so clearly other people are getting calls spoofed as my number as well.



I've also been getting lots of "same first six digits" spam, but yesterday I saw a new variation: only the first five digits were the same.
