Operation GX4EWF00

Stock-scam SMS network. One vetted 10DLC campaign shared across shell brands. A founder who knew, in writing. Evidence preserved before takedown — and the operation is still sending.

Structure

One campaign, two shell brands

A NY-based sending platform provides the dashboard, campaigns, and "compliance" features. A national CPaaS gateway is plugged in via the platform's own "Bring Your Own Gateway" plan — the gateway transmits the texts, provisions the numbers, and approved the 10DLC campaign. That single registration (group GX4EWF00) was shared across multiple platform sub-accounts. Both companies profited from the same operation.
