A Telecom Scam

Bob received a call from ‘XYZ’ Telecom Company saying he won cash prizes.At first he thought it was a scam but when the caller quoted the first eight digits of his SIM card, Bob believed him. Apparently bob was unaware that the first eight digits were identical for all XYZ telecom SIM Cards. Bob was asked to buy phone cards of the ‘XYZ’ Telecom and give the card numbers. He did it for a relatively good amount and then he started realising something was fishy. Upon contacting the telecom company Bob just find out he was the victim of a scam. It may sound really foolish of Bob but again this can happen to any one of us. Read more about these kinds of scams and what to do about it in my next post.
