Whats wrong mum??I got your text
what happened did you get scammed??
Mum this is not your fault there are some very bad people out there that will do anything to hurt anyone and get some money out of it.
Basically someone tried to scam me saying they where my child and needed a new phone. I nearly did but they said they where my son I don't even have one and oh my god I am just do upset and angry. That I got my self into this issue
Oh MY God darling FrancescaI nearly lost 25 million dollars
they have been called the Mum and Dad scam
If a scammer does try to do this mum and dad scam make sure to always ring the person if they actually need the money
and finally see if it is a reasonable price for what they want
Scammers are becoming increasingly smarter and are constantly thinking of clever ways to pull get people to give them large amounts of money.
These types of scams are becoming increasingly popular
Always trust your GUT!!!
