A man recently received a phone call claiming to be his cousin, even though he knew that it was a scam call her decided to entertain the scammer and waste the scammer’s time.
Here is the story of the victim:
I saw the following story online and I also received the same phone call:
“The problem is he describe a scenario similar to my real cousin situation having open new bizz and lost wallet and phone needing some help to pay off some vendor. one follow by another and another. I lost 20k in 2 TRANSACTIONS before getting suspicious. I could have just asked my actual cousin to verify! “
Here is the story of a man who received the same call
The scammer called me pretending to be my cousin but don’t know my name,
But for me I did not lose any money to the scammer, I told the scammer my name is DV. He asks me what is DV. I said it’s Darth Vader also known as I am your father. Lim bei is your father.
But the scammer was obviously from overseas and did not catch what I mean and I continue to play the game. He said he needed $10,000 to pay debts to a loanshark and said if I did not help him he will be dead within a week.
I told him: “Dead in a week ah, good deal leh. Since you can’t even earn 10k in a week. Intro me the job leh”.
Then he hung up the phone.
