*SCAMMER ALERT!* Did I get Fooled or nearly Fooled? What should I do?

@dk63 Does anyone actually know why it has just exploded the last few weeks? All Fucking day I get calls and texts.

@dk63 Btw government agencies generally won’t leave automated messages when they call in. If there is one you can pretty much be sure it’s actually a scam. They’ll also come up as a private caller or no caller ID so if there’s just a mobile number or something it’s also almost always a scam

If in doubt though just request a reference number and say you’ll call whatever agency it is on the publicly available number and don’t provide any personal info.

@dk63 Oh yeah. You’re done.

@dk63 I've stopped answering calls from unsaved numbers. I figured they would leave a message or text if they need me. Enabled a spam number blocking system too.

Luckily I receive anti phishing training but I really do feel for those who don't or are the elderly!

@ngodap The best bit is the robo-calls DO leave messages, and they say “press 1 to be be connected”… damn it, I’m too late!

@dk63 Shit man, at least your MDMA will probably get through
