Impersonation scams

In these cases, the victims received phone calls from unknown numbers with the “+” prefix. Upon answering these calls, the callers would not identify themselves and instead ask the victims to guess his identity with questions such as: “Guess who am I?” or “You can’t remember me?”. Thinking that they were acquainted, the victim would answer with the name of a friend who they thought most resembled the caller’s voice.

The caller would then assume the identity of the said friend and would claim to have lost their mobile phone or changed their contact number. They would then ask the victim to update his number in his contact list. A few days later, the caller would contact the victim and ask for a loan to help them tide over their financial difficulties or trouble with the law. Victims would be provided with a local bank account or phone numbers to transfer money to. Victims would only discover that they had been scammed after contacting their actual friends whom the scammers had impersonated.
