In the media, the question is constantly being discussed that one must be vigilant and not succumb to the scams of telephone scammers who “do not stand still” and come up with more and more new schemes to deceive citizens.
Phone cheats
Phone scams are one of the safest and, moreover, a very simple way to unload the wallets of citizens. Therefore, those who deal with them are unlikely to refuse them. Fortunately, most of the people have now learned to recognize fraudsters, become more attentive and vigilant. Many have learned not easy not to let themselves be fooled by identifying a fraudster's call, and they also do so that, changing places with the criminal, they bring him to such a state that he himself loses his composure and the desire to call this subscriber again.
Ways to not let yourself be fooled
There are several simple ways that anyone who has received a call from a fraudster and who has recognized it can use it. These methods can also be used when annoying sellers call with advertisements for their products, which are far from being of the highest quality.
As a rule, few of the scammers who send messages to the phone have a lot of information about the person to whom they are sent. For example, a mother receives a message from her son who made an accident and asks for money.
And the recipient does not have a son or, moreover, children in general.
They call from the bank, threatening about an unpaid loan, and threaten to block the card. They are asked to name information that is confidential. A person listens, but knows that he has no credit and never had.
How to punish a cheater
If the subscriber does not have a mobile application that warns that this call may be from scammers, then after analyzing the situation, realizing that they want to deceive you, you can do this.
You need to pretend that you are really scared of what you said. Ask a few simple questions that would not have given you away and, for example, if it concerns a bank card, go after it by reporting it to the phone. Say that you need to look for her. You can make yourself felt several times after a certain time, saying that you cannot find it. The fraudster will understand that he is being bullied. Hang up the phone, as the calls are chargeable. It is unlikely that he will want to lose his money, waiting for an answer for a long time.
Criminals often ask for card numbers and pin codes. Give the number that comes to mind first. And when they call you back, saying that there is no such number, then you can answer that you made a mistake with the number and give the wrong number again. The offender will understand that you are no more stupid than him and will stop pestering him.
A good way to punish deceivers is by using the operators' service "Call at the expense of the interlocutor." It will be possible to call the perpetrator back and put it on hold. This function is useful when calling companies that impose their products.
Result
Very often, these simple ways to punish phone scammers quickly piss them off. They lose their nerves, and they show their "true face". And this is what it was necessary to achieve, realizing that they want to shamelessly deceive you.
