Get used to these two words: Trump guilty.
The phone buzzed. I was sound asleep when I woke up to its vibration, but didn’t care to check it since it was too early in the morning. “I’ll check it later,” I thought.
Buzz
Again. I tried to ignore.
Buzz
I finally gave in. I went to the other side of the bed and took a quick look at who was calling.
It was my father. I picked it up.
“Hello?”
The voice was glitching. Probably due to the poor internet connection from my side, I thought. He couldn’t hear me properly, but that one sentence he said left me astounded.
“Heard you got arrested?”
“What?”
The phone hung up. I tried to process what just happened. “Arrested? The fuck-”, I thought.
Buzz
I picked it up again. This time it was a video call from my mother. She said the same thing. “Heard you got arrested?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Where are you?”
“In my room, sleeping. Where else?”
I have never been more confused. What are they even talking about? Besides, my post-slumber-hangover hadn’t worn out, so I was even more puzzled.
Then they explained the entire story, about what exactly happened. Turns out someone had called them disguised as a police officer, claiming that their child had been arrested for doing drugs with four other people, that the media was waiting to interview them, and that they needed a ransom of about 1 lakh rupees to bail us out, or our entire careers are going in the trash. Guessing that these are some kind of hackers, I wasn’t surprised to hear that they knew my full name and the country I live in currently, which is out of India.
It took me some time to comprehend what I have just heard. I don’t really know what I was feeling, but I thought it was definitely a hilarious and interesting story they made up. Not very creative, but works. They asked them not to hang up or call me, but my mother did it anyway, which, now, I’m glad she did. My father hung up their call and buzzed an actual police officer he knew. After a brief conversation with him, he came to know that this scam call has been going on for a few days now. These fraudsters usually target families with offspring who are students abroad, and many have fallen victim to this scam by emotionally manipulating the students’ parents.
I knew this was the case, and my parents did too, but just for good measure, they gave me a call and I’m thankful they did. I called the same police officer my father had buzzed, and after talking awhile, I got to know about another ongoing fraud in India, the Fed Ex fraud, where someone calls you claiming that they have found illegal substances in a package ‘you have ordered’ and ask you to pay a ransom for them to spare you your lives from getting imprisoned for roughly 10-15 years. He asked me to make everyone aware of this, just in case it happens to them, which got me writing this article/essay/whatever you want to call it.
If any of you receive any such shady calls regarding your relative/child getting arrested abroad, or about an unknown package ‘you ordered’ with illegal substances, kindly do not take them seriously. A true police officer will never do something this way. They have legal procedures to let you know about your wrongdoings (if any), so kindly ignore these calls.
That is all I have to say here.
Thank you, and stay safe.
Can't wait to see how the 'Titia Tower pans out! #TrumpIsBroke
If it seems too good to be true, it probably is
I almost got scammed.
Okay so here’s the story: I applied for a job on Indeed. I later got an email from the job poster, saying I didn’t get that job but he had a different job opportunity for me: personal assistant to the president of a company. It would have paid $1000 a week, and I would be handling his correspondence, donating to charities on his behalf, and other things.
I did my research. It seemed legitimate. But this morning just to be sure, I talked to my boyfriend’s mom (a business owner and marketer) and explained the whole situation. She did her research as well, and she couldn’t come to a strong conclusion but it seemed fake to her.
I went to the company website of the original job posting and contacted them and asked if it was a scam. They replied almost immediately and said it was a scam, and they were working on putting a fraud warning on their website about it.
I also found the phone number of the president man to see if it matched with the one they gave me. It definitely did not, so we called the true owners to let them know.
They said this had been going on for almost 6 months, and there was no way to catch the people responsible because they were using fake names and email addresses and phone numbers. (Other than the name of the “company president”, who actually retired a few years ago)
Moral of the story here is: If you are job searching, do your research and be extra suspicious if it seems too good to be true!
