Some of the outrageous things internet scammers do say to trick people --:- www.deekpay.com

In the past, recognising scam calls was relatively simple. You'd know that a Saudi prince or a broker on the New York Stock Exchange wouldn't pick up the phone and call you. Thanks to spam filters such as TrueCaller, many suspicious international calls are now automatically blocked. However, online scammers are professionals who are constantly striving to create more realistic and sophisticated scams to lure innocent victims. The more identifying information fraudsters have about you, such as your address, age or date of birth, the easier it is for them to convince you that their scam is legitimate. As a result, scams that are personal in approach tend to be more difficult to detect. Cybercriminals often create very realistic fake customer service accounts with usernames that resemble the official customer service accounts of brands/banks. They then contact you by phone or message.

Take a look at the following scam calls that innocent customers have actually received. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Think about it, if someone is giving away an expensive iPhone for a low price, why would he/she call you and how did they get your contact information?

Unfortunately, many people do not file their taxes on time. This gives scammers the opportunity to defraud them. However, whether you are close to the deadline for filing your taxes or have not filed them yet, the tax authorities will not call to extort money.

Honest tax returns. No discounts, ever.

By making their scams sound ridiculous, fraudsters often ensure that the most vulnerable people are targeted. If you get a call about becoming a "VIP customer", think about whether you have recently applied for such a programme.

If not, then this is most likely not a legitimate project. No one waits to give away free stuff.

There is nothing wrong with being lucky. But if you really are the lucky winner of a competition where the "grand prize" is a mansion, an international trip or a racing car or motorbike, why would they charge you for delivery of the prize?

Also, do you remember buying a lottery ticket?

This is clear intimidation. Do you remember being intimidated by an official when doing business at a bank branch? So why would a bank threaten you via email, phone call or text message? Remember, no one can take your money if you haven't done anything wrong.

If you are not expecting to receive emails or phone calls, always think twice before responding to them. If you're not sure, don't reply or click on any links - call the appropriate company and verify with the number you found.
