At my old university ~15 years ago, all IPs of all computers were public IPV4 addresses . Any computer plugged in to any ethernet port on campus was given such a "quasi-static" IP address. All normal ports were open - ssh, http(s), you name it. It was the OG zero trust architecture.

Have you tried getting ticketing support from Ticketmaster? Even a sketchy phone number is better than no option at all…
Imagine you have the creativity and criminal energy to conceptualize and operate something like this (and the rat tail of justice evasion, laundering money, etc). It seems so much easier to make money in the honest economy.

So, I craft a search where the search query is “call 1 800 scam”, then I buy a google ad with key word of “ticketmaster help”, the ad links to real ticketmaster with my query, and google shows that ad to someone having trouble and hey presto they call my scam line at 4 quid a minute from their mobile?
