How Scammers Try to Trick You 🤯
Fraudsters often call pretending to offer deals on expensive phones like the iPhone 13 📱. If one scammer doesn’t succeed, they’ll pass you to a “supervisor” to make the call seem more official.
They also try to scare people by claiming their bank account is at risk, their computer is hacked, or they owe money. If someone questions them, they often become aggressive to pressure victims into compliance. 😨
Daisy’s Advice to Avoid Scams 🛑
Daisy, O2’s Head of Scammer Relations, says:
“Calls out of the blue, threats, or pressure tactics are all signs of a scam. If you’re even slightly unsure, politely hang up and call back on an official number.”
