So, best rule to follow is just don't post your real phone number without masking it, like "six 4 six 236 thirty eight seventy one."

Good advice, however, you also reposted his phone #, so even if he did change his post yours still stands, until you delete.
What you should have done when you quoted off was deleted part of post with phone #. Until then your friendly suggestion would only continue to help hackers/spammers.
