I find it amusing when I detected a unknown person impersonate as my friends or people who I know..
Or they masked their own numbers and use other peole number to call.. So let's talk about various way how they reach to people.
By email
I recieved various of email such as oh your email has win lottery or your account is hacked and I know that you have been surfing those website.. If you dun reply back your pc cannot be used and will be control by me blah blah..
Firstly, the first one they can even dun bother to delete their orginal email path before senting(they send the same email content to themselves first). It was hard not to laugh at their stupidness..
The latter part, I dun believe in such scenarios. If the hacker wants to hack they will done so they will not spend time to send email and inform they prepare to hack into your pc.
By phonecalls(using residential nos or mobile phone)
In one of my workplace, I recieve a call and is a voice generated speaker, it say they are calling from DHL.. Within one minute I already know is a scam as I hear about such cases before so I just hang up. Haha.
There is another fellow call and also use the voice generated so I decided to play along and press to speaker to their so called officer.. The person picked up and sounds like a chinaman so I test him how to say the Ica address in chinese. Knowing that he as scammer is expose, he hang up..
By social media
Beware when your friend suddenly ask for your contact details via instragram or facebook, it could be someone impersonate as your friend. Always check with your friend is it really them. Now hackers can hack into instragram or facebook. So never give out your contact details. If they lose your number, they could have post it in their feed not direct message you.
