So I have made a decision. I will not be calling any provider who does not put her phone number IN AN EASILY SEARCHABLE WAY in the ad. Period. 4-Ate-OHHH Nine 53-Fore-sex-69 is NOT a phone number. It's just too hard to search something like that and with the TER search feature properly installed a real phone number is easy to search.
Gals, please make it easy on us lazy dudes, and put your phone number in the ad in an easily searchable way. Guys, are you with me! Let's hear from you!
No different than the use of CAPTCHA when sending an email response. The world is full of bots that scan ads for email address and phone numbers and then the spam or whackazz calls start. These methods, though crude ensure there is a human being contacting you.
You could use tineye or google image on a pic in the ad and there is a good chance the fully qualified phone number with out doodads will be in a search result.
One has been mentioned: to make it harder for LE. I've also seen a lot of scam ads with the phone numbers written this way. Also if a gent uses a phone which his SO has access to the records/actual phone she is really doing you a favor... SO googles phone number & finds nothing unusual (unless the provider is reviewed then you're just fucked). IMO just another reason to use a burner phone XoXo Caramel

With you on this.
Though I always wonder what the reasoning is behind it. So that LE cannot easily find a provider from the ad site by searching with the phone no. ?
