Scam Alert!!! by Ayjos10(m): 1:55pm On Aug 18, 2015 |
NEW FRAUD. PLS BEWARE!!
Given below is what happened to someone
& he has narrated this in his own words:
" I received a call from someone claiming
that he was from my mobile Service provider
and he asked me to shutdown my phone for
2 hours for 3G update to take place. As I
was rushing for a meeting,I did not
question, but just shut down my cell phone.
After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since
the caller did not even introduce his name. I
quickly turned on my cell phone and saw
several missed calls from my family members
and the others were from the number that
had called me earlier –I called my parents
and I was shocked that they sounded very
worried asking me whether I am safe. My
parents told me that they had received a call
from someone claiming that they had me
with them and asking for money to let me
free. The call was so real and my parents
even heard 'my voice' crying out loud asking
for help. My father was at the bank waiting
for next call to proceed for money transfer. I
told my parents that I am safe and asked
them to lodge a police report .Right after
that I received another call from the guy
asking me to shutdown my cell phone for
another 1 hour which I refused to do and
hung up. They kept calling my cell phone
until the battery had run down. I myself
lodged a police report and I was informed
by the officer that there were many such
scams reported. MOST of the cases reported
that the victim had already transferred the
money! And it is impossible to get back the
money. Be careful as this kind of scam might
happen to any of us!!!Those guys are so
professional and very convincing during
calls. If you are asked to shut down your cell
phone for updates by the service provider,
ASK AROUND!Your family or friends might
receive the same call. "Be Safe and Stay Alert!
Please pass around to your family and
friends !!!
