Actually doesn't work. Cuz some scammer actually have the namelist to call. They might get the list from some companies. Delivery package etc. So they actually knew your name.
@ even simpler, throw in fake information. Like asking them why your delivery of Durex hasn’t arrived. 😂 I mean, simply use your brain, don’t be so gullible lah
@@ustradingdiary It did work for me. 😂 One time, this scammer who have my name and contact, texted me on Whatsapp. I told the scammer that he/she has the wrong number and he/she believed even though my name is in the Whatsapp profile. LOL!! That one was a pretty dumb scammer. 😂😂😂
When a person (an official) called up. Ask for the name and company and say you will call back. Talk to a genuine person. No money should pass any hands 2:23 call back
The fake friend scam calls just indicate that people are too trusting. Do not transfer any money without any meet up or don't transfer any money at all !
These scammers always manage to catch people in their most tired/stressfull/distracted moments. Even if we know all the precautions, we're still not fully safe. I do wish there's more we can do than rely on our own wits and alertness.
The question is how reliable the banks and police are. In most cases, they were not doing anything. Banks just sent a letter to the recipient. If he/ she doesn’t response, the case closed. 😂 If someone reports a scam case, they must immediately freeze the recipient’s bank account and ask the recipient to come to the bank personally for an investigation.
i had the same experience, and the scammer told me i can transfer any amount to him. So then i passed him an amount i am ok with, not too much, but i didnt get a response from him since. He also sounded like my friend!
Last 2 month I received similar scam call. Stated that he knew me. I thought he is someone I knew just I forget and also think might be scam. And ask him for his name. And to add me in whatapps. But then he didn't. Then I confirm he is scammer 100%. The I report the number to the scamshield.
One simple counter tactic is to use a false name, give a false information and if they swallow then it’s confirmed a scam.

I don't answer any phone calls. If it is so important, they would message or e-mail me.
Dont pick up any unrecoqnized numbers.....
Thats my best advice.
But if you are in marketing, that could be difficult....
