My Experience With A Scammer And What Helped Me Out by tayo200(m): 10:06pm On Apr 28
So, for some weeks now, I've been monitoring a particular investment page on Instagram. The page looked so real that even as smart as I am, I could recommend it. They relate with their thousands of followers well, reply comment and post often.
Last week, I decided to message them and ask how I can invest. They responded well in a professional manner. At the end, I intended to trade with 50k at first. The account number sent was a business account, not personal account. I was happy at last I made mama proud.. 😂😂😂before sending the money, something prompted me to ask for their phone number, just as a security measure. I didn't know it was the phone number that will save me.

I just added the phone number on my contacts and wanted to give it a call. Lo and behold, Truecaller brought it as a scammer number...

Yeeeee!!!!!! I was shocked.. likeeee... I rechecked and rechecked to be sure, omoooo, Truecaller said it was a scammer number ....

As I went back to Instagram, I then noticed the message was on vanish mode... Ahhhh... That's how my 50k would have gone... If not for Truecaller... If you no get Truecaller for phone, you're on a long thing.

Have you ever had an experience with a scammer before too? Share your experience..

If you use an android phone and you have Truecaller installed on your phone, you would have known who is calling as Truecaller will flag such number as spam. I even recommend that all android users use the Truecaller dialer as the default calling app, this will save a great deal.

I use an iPhone as my main phone and I don't answer a call from an unknown number until I have checked the number on TC. This has saved me a great deal from scam callers and wrong number callers

Yeah,it's so, cos it need permission to monitor all calls, so as to work effectively... Infact, there is a hack to getting Truecaller Premium, just use the promo code “NAIRA001”. More offers will be unlocked
