   __MXG_PHONE_OBFU is a subtest rule so it doesn't contribute to the score at all unless it's used in a meta rule. I would not suggest using it to block messages by itself. There will be false positives due to typos but also if you are using the ExtractText plugin to extract text from images there will be false positives because the OCR software sometimes incorrectly recognizes a zero as the letter O or a one as the letter I. 
   
   Regardless, I can't accept your change because it fires on many legitimate numbers including:
   
   * (123) 123 1234
   * 123.123.1234
