"asking for the copied text to be removed, although I haven't received a reply and no longer expect to" => so you mean you lost all hope for an answer to your email within 3 hours? (;

I can see how scammers would abuse such a service but u should not be so quick to assume that that is his major customer base. There have been numerous occasions where I was required to do SMS verification for legit accounts, and I didn't want to expose my phone number.
