Lost money to a very convincing scam online | Fraudsters posing as Fedex

KrisTvpm · 23rd July 2024, 12:04

Was feeling a little bit left out/dejected since by now most have gotten the infamous "customs/courier/fedex" call, but I was not blessed yet

Finally got a call from +91 7205858872, someone marked as "Mannat Nani" or something similar in truecaller.

Without ado the caller stated(played) his/her motive - want to spam me - in Hindi & then English. The stupid message was somewhat like this : "Your consignment has some problems, stuck at customs, call 1 for details/9 to speak to authorities" !

Was hard-pressed for time, couldn't humour them like some members did here, though would've loved to play fool & waste their time/get some wholesome entertainment

FWIW, members please note this number! Have flagged as spam in truecaller.

Got two FedEx scam calls yesterday morning and today morning. The first call yesterday was from 99060 48072 and as per truecaller, the number was from J&K. The second call today was from +1 929 413 7533 originating from New York city. I have marked both numbers as FedEx scam. Looks like these guys are making advances in scamming people.
