Recipients of 575-228-1828 in New Mexico - Journalist Surveillance

We are all being surveilled in USA. This from the Zorro Investigative reporter. We will bring all the criminals to justice one day ! “A note to my friends and followers: Someone is monitoring my social media and contacting people in my network. Today, an unidentified male caller using the number (575) 228-1828 called my friend HL. They asked if she knew me by name. When she confirmed that she did, they hung up without identifying themselves. This number is registered to a robocall company. But this was not a robocall. A human being asked a specific, targeted question and hung up when they got their answer. This means whoever made this call is likely using a secondary telecom company to mask their true identity — a known tactic used by private investigators working on behalf of powerful interests to intimidate and surveil journalists and witnesses. This is not a new playbook. It is the same method used by private investigators in Florida to surveil and intimidate Epstein survivors. I am an investigative journalist currently reporting on Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch in New Mexico and the political network that protected it for decades. I am documenting this incident formally with state officials investigating the Zorro Ranch case. If anyone in my network receives a call from this number or any unidentified caller asking about me, please do not engage. Document the call — number, time, date, exact words — and contact me directly. I am not afraid. I am paying attention. And now, so are you. I will keep reporting. Update: The number (575) 228-1828 routes through Inteliquent/Onvoy, a wholesale VOIP carrier currently under multistate 51-AG investigation. Private investigators are the primary users of VOIP numbers routed through wholesale carriers like Inteliquent/Onvoy for surveillance purposes. Other typical users: Law firms doing opposition research on behalf of wealthy clients. Hmm. What attorney did I piss off last week who sicced his entire family on me and then went on a damage control media tour to promote the lie that he had to stop the Zorro investigation? Not saying it's him but given his high level of panic and history of unethical shenanigans and bullying, I would not be surprised. Far more likely it is someone local. National and international folks have bigger fish to fry. The petty machista feifedoms of New Mexico, however? Fragile boys. Also: Corporate intelligence firms — companies like Black Cube, Kroll, or smaller regional equivalents that powerful people hire when they want deniability. And: political operatives. Anyone who needs to confirm a target's social connections without revealing who is asking. A subpoena to Inteliquent can identify the actual end-user who made this call. The NM DOJ has that power, and they now have this information. The trail is not cold. This is traceable. They are not as hidden as they think.”

I’m not here to sensationalize anyone’s experience or push any agenda. I want to tell this story, accurately, and that means I need to hear from people who lived it. I was specifically hoping to connect with anyone who: Started gambling or sports betting before age 18. Was introduced to bedding to social media: TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, influencers, promo codes, etc. Has thoughts on how the industry target young people online. If you’re not comfortable, sharing publicly, DMS are open. Once the story is published, I’ll come back and share the link here.
