My Unexpected Phone Call with a Scammer today. Today, I had an intriguing experience—a WhatsApp phone call with a scammer! 🧐 It started like any other call because obviously I have sent out job applications and at such I may not remember the name of each organisation or it could even be a referral. The conversation👇 Scammer: my name is Mr Emmanuel from global support outreach Me: (with a calm voice) okay good afternoon sir Scammer: we will be having a training this evening by 7:30pm, will you be free to join? Me: Yes, sure send me a mail invite Scammer: No, a code has been sent to your WhatsApp, call out the number Me: I can't see any code😁, meanwhile I checked and a code had popped out. Scammer: (tries to suggest possible numbers) Me: Get out and leave my line( with a loud voice) Scammer: (goes mute) and ends the call Me: I reported him on WhatsApp and blocked the contact. This experience was a reminder: 1. Stay vigilant:Scammers are becoming more sophisticated. 2. Verify before you trust: Always double-check unsolicited calls or messages. 3. Share your story: Educate others so they can recognize and avoid scams( obviously I had read or seen one or two similar scenarios hence I was enlightened) Let's protect ourselves and our loved ones by spreading awareness. Have you had a similar experience? How did you handle it? #StaySafe #ScamAwareness #ProtectYourself #Stayvigilant #Newweekmotivation
