overherebc Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 (edited) Just had a call from a number starting +997 saying I had an outstanding driving fine to pay. I just hung up on it. Checked +997 code and it is noted as unassigned. Scam or what? Edited February 15, 2022 by overherebc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just for kicks, you should have asked when/where this driving infraction occurred, what car, tag number, etc. Would be curious to know what sort of details the caller had on you....if anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtrnuno41 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 In my country, they make phone calls to you. They introduce themselves as bank workers, they also somehow know what is your bankaccount and also know to mention many personal things from you. Then they try to let you move money as there are problems. It seems a very good organized way to do so, as many people take the bite. How they know lots of your personal stuff? They dont know. Even educated people fall for it. So dont pay attention when they call and say they are employees and bla bla bla, HANG UP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
