After a long time, a scammer reached out to me

Tweet

I have been busy with my tasks and activities and looking to complete them before deadline. While I was working through things, I see an incoming call from an unknown US number. Before I could answer, it stopped ringing. When I looked at the number, it seemed from Miami and I do not have any friends from Florida. I was largely sceptical. After 3 hours, again, I see the incoming call and it is same unknown number .This time I answered it. On the other side, a person claimed he is working for a cryptocurrency exchange and would like to offer services to me. Since he has seen my finances (I have no clue what he meant by seeing my finance, I do have debt!), he is giving his services for free. He would like me to invest $5000 into the exchange and in a month’s time the ROI should be 120%. Meanwhile I check online about the crypto exchange and see reports of imposters impersonating officials from the mentioned cryptocurrency exchange. He would change his narrative slightly for the next set of questions. Finally, I stated I will visit the office of crypto exchange and then talk about things in person and then he disconnected the call. I wanted to see how long he would go with the shenanigan, but I could not devote much into it as I was working on something which had a deadline. Guess , scammers are coming with new unique ways to lure and scam people
