Mumbai: Puppy Responds to Scam Call Posing as Police Officer
In an unusual and heartwarming turn of events in Mumbai, a puppy became the unintentional star of a scam call drama. The incident unfolded when an individual, posing as a police officer, attempted to scam a local resident by demanding payment for a non-existent legal issue. To the surprise of the scammer, it was the family’s puppy that answered the call.
The scammer, impersonating a police officer, attempted to threaten the household with legal consequences unless an immediate sum of money was paid. However, instead of a human voice, it was the puppy’s playful bark that greeted the scammer on the other end. In a baffling twist, the scammer, unaware of the situation, proceeded with the call, unintentionally engaging with the barking dog for several minutes before realizing the mistake.
While this unexpected interaction ended harmlessly, it highlights the growing concerns about phone scams that have been plaguing Mumbai in recent months. Authorities have warned citizens to remain vigilant and avoid responding to unsolicited calls from unknown numbers. The puppy's surprising role in the situation served as a reminder that sometimes, even the most unexpected moments can thwart an otherwise serious crime.
As the city grapples with an increasing number of such scams, residents are urged to report any suspicious calls to local law enforcement immediately. Meanwhile, the puppy’s role in this bizarre scam story has sparked a mix of amusement and caution, with many locals taking to social media to share the unusual tale.
