How To Identify a Scam Call

 

1) Technical Support Pretenders

The most famous target of scam callers is aged people. That is because old aged people do not know much about technology. However, they do possess accounts and personal details and that is what scam calls are after. These scam callers would pretend to be technical support and create an imaginary tech problem. They would make you believe that you have some sort of technical problem with maybe your bank account or other technical systems. Always, remember never to believe what they say and always verify the problem on your behalf first.

 

2) Fraud Charity

Another way scam callers find their prey is by pretending to run a charity collection drive. They would make you believe that you are doing great by giving to charity and helping people in need. In reality, always remember that charity drives have legitimate documents or websites. You should rectify the legitimacy of the organisation prior to giving anything to them.

 

3) Fake Lottery Scams

Fake Lottery has been one of the oldest yet most ridiculous scams. Thousands of people fall victim to this scam yet still people believe these calls. In today's world, there's no such thing as free until and unless it's an offer by some big names in the market. If you haven't bought any lottery ever and you get a call that you won a big cash prize or a property by buying this random thing while doing grocery, never ever believe them. Moreover, if you had won a lottery from any offer from a big organisation in the first place, they would always reach out to you in a more formal way. Always, look out to verify everything yourself that sounds too good to be true.
