Those numbers are real phone numbers. One business woman was left tormented by a wave of calls, turning her life upside down.
One woman said she received a barrage of phone calls and text messages “to the point that it’s hard for me to go on with daily life”.

Netflix also released this statement, “Together with the production company, we are working to resolve this matter, including editing scenes with phone numbers where necessary”.
