Telephone scammers are very inventive and constantly come up with new deception schemes.
However, it is not difficult to expose even the most cunning scammers.
To do this, you just need to ask the caller one simple question.
How to expose scammers with one question
Typically, telephone scammers pose as bank or law enforcement employees and talk about illegal transactions, attempts to write off funds or apply for loans, etc.
At the same time, the scammers name their fictitious positions and titles, and sometimes even send photos of fake IDs.
If you receive such a call, simply say: “I can’t talk right now, what number can I call you back?”
After this question, the scammers usually start saying that they will call back themselves. They use fake numbers and do not accept incoming calls.
