Like the phone number is significant to the transaction :-)

To be fair, if you were questioning the transaction it's very handy to

If I were questioning a transaction I wouldn't pay much attention to a
phone number that is presumably supplied by the person I think is
trying to scam me. Just like how if someone phones me claiming to be
from my bank I won't take their word for it, nor will I call any number
that they helpfully tell me over the phone.
