Scam calling

[TheNineClub]

As far as I can see, lately, scammers have become lazier with their scams. Don't know if that's because there are a lots of new people in crypto due to us recently being at the top of the cycle, or they are just counting on people being dumb, but it's a lot easier to spot scammers as of lately. With that in mind, it's always smart to be super sceptical.

I would say don't even let anyone know about your personal number which is linked with bank accounts and other things that deal with banking and money, scammers via calls randomly target and wait for their prey who are old and illiterate who can't differenciate such things and you know still people are falling for old scam techniques while banks haven't taken any actions against them because the money lost is too small for a bank but for the individual it can be his life saving.

Banks can't put much into the case as money lost is on the part of customers and they have said before hand that bank officials don't demand for any personal details of the client in any case like card pin or anything because they already have necessary details and ask to visit your branch.Moreover it's customer loss not banks so why would they care about it much.Why the hell people share any such details with scammers i don't know inspite of many fraudulent cases being reported everyday.Lack of awareness and greed are two main factors which keep these things going on.

Banks says that your money is safe in their banks then they are supposed to keep it safe, I agree that banks always giving warning about impersonators who is trying to get your card details and pin but what about people who don't even know how to read? How they are supposed to understand that warning? If they are not taking any responsibility then they should let the people to handle the money on their own instead of pushing everything to the digital banking.

It has to be the inflow of new members, there's a reason this people are coming into the space now, it's to make money as testimony has proven they can do that in this industry. Now they want to make the money as fast as possible which makes them the perfect target. Just offer them more than the exchanges out their or other genuine platform (project) would and they'll fall victim to your target.

When the targets aren't putting in any effort to educate themselves by not making themselves vulnerable to these scams what do you expect the scammers to do. How smart, informed and educated we got ourselves is what challenge the scammers to try think if new ways to scam but when that challenge ain't there, they just have to recycle their previous scamming strategies and gullible new commers will fall victim.

Scams these days are very easy to spot. When you see a project promising unbelievable staking rewards and ROI, you should just know that's a scam. The doublers are still getting patronized which makes you wonder if the warning all over the internet ain't been seen by this users but that's not true, they see them but just want to be among the first benefactors but end up getting scammed.

I think they need to have proper screening to their depositors since not everyone knows about how all this things works especially on tech side but after the orientation or explanation made by bank officer or the teller then its up to the account owner to learn somethings about how they can secure their funds since they are the one who's handling it. If they don't know even if the explanation is done better if they brought a trusted companion a family member which can help him on these things.

In my country, banks offer a deposit insurance service. For example, for $ 20 a year, the bank will reimburse the losses from fraudsters in the amount of $ 1,000.
When the bank employees offered me this, I was at a loss.
I have a friend who is fighting these scammers.
The scammers found out his card number, transferred $ 50 to him and wrote a statement on him that he had received this money in a fraudulent way. There was no statement to the police.
The bank has not let a friend use his account for more than a year
Don't give strangers your card numbers unnecessarily.

Lessons/deductions
4. Be friends with suspicion and let curiosity lead the way.

Don't give them the opportunity: even if you are sure you won't take the bait, you can't be sure on where is the bait if you don't know the intentions of the interlocutor. The intention of the call could not necessarily be the one pretended, but to keep you online, divert your attention or who knows.

That's a good point you know. It's more about who is running the game or calling the shots but the big question is, how do you know what the bait is. Scammers have got a lot of tricks and schemes these days. Who knows if through a call or maybe by keeping you suspended on a call for a long time, they could use the connection as a way of infiltrating your phone. I guess they haven't gotten to that level of advancement yet but should that be possible, we would be hardly safe from that sort of scam. This gives more reason as to why, ignoring the call or maybe just hanging up earlier is a more better step to take when contacted by these scammers because, you might never be too sure.
