​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

messages 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 to keep my phone busy so

that others could not be able to reach me 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 shutdown 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 !!!

DONT JUST READ, SHARE WITH OTHERS
