@sammie2019 I had one of these. I said to the guy you're obviously a scam and should go boil your head. He was really offended

@sammie2019 I got the same call and I told them that I am an advocate( actually i am not)I will deal with legally. After that I didn’t get

@sammie2019 Only reason I straight up abuse anyone calling for policy, loan, credit card or anything

@sammie2019 Hey so I got scammed and I shared my adhaar and pan card details with them. Now I cannot stop panicking. What do you suggest I do to protect myself against identity theft

 

[sammie2019]

@farmchick Stop panicking first. Cool down your head. If you don’t share anything more, in particular your mobile number and OTPs, not much damage will occur. Everything has 2 factor verification and without that, they cannot do any damage.

@sammie2019 Guys, please post these numbers where the calls are coming from: I got such call from following number:
+918194599674

 

[sammie2019]

There are multiple numbers, some of which appear to be new, from which such calls are coming.

There is a FEDEX scam also which is quite a thing these days. The modus operandi is same as post.

@sammie2019

try to connect the dots of why would TRAI, CBI, FEMA, ED would connect together to verify your liquid money earned by your hard work

These days, with how these organizations are managed, you never know
