New Scam Alert; Lady narrates her ordeal with scammers recently


Lady narrates her ordeal with scammers recently. Please read and be guided.
“I received a call from someone claiming it was from my mobile service provider and they asked me to turn off my phone for 2 hours for the 4G update to take effect. was rushing for a meeting, I turned off my cell phone.
After 45 minutes, I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name to me. I quickly turned on my cell phone and saw several messages from family members and the numbers of other callers who had called me earlier. I called my parents and was shocked that they were very worried and asking if I am safe. My parents told me that they had received a call a while earlier from someone claiming that they were holding me with them and asking for money to set me free. The call was so real that my parents even heard “my voice” crying out loud and asking for help. My father had gone to the bank waiting for the next call to transfer the money they requested. I told my parents that I was safe and asked them to go and report to the police.
Right after that I got another call from the guy asking me to turn off my cell phone for another hour, which I refused to do and he hung up. They kept calling on the cell phone to keep my phone busy so that others could not reach me and until the cell phone battery ran out. I had gone to the police myself and learned from the police officer that there were a lot of these scams reported.
Most cases reported that the victim had already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get the money back. Be careful because this kind of scam could happen to any of us !!!
These guys are so professional, very convincing during their calls. If you are asked to turn off your cell phone for updates by a service provider, don’t listen!
Your family or friends might get the same call. Please notify them
“Be safe and stay alert!
Please pass this information on to your family and friends !!!
It is not enough to just read, but also to share.”
