Old methods from new sources. Call from nowhere
"They again took up their own!".
It seems that spammers of the old school do not give up and go to a new level. Either they came out a long time ago, but I was covered only now.
In general, the thing is as follows, a call with an undefined number (Private) arrives on the mobile, probably from Skype. At that end, a peppy voice in English begins to introduce itself, calls my name and company. Different foreign representatives sometimes call me on business, but given that the call caught me in the middle of the street and it’s impossible to hear anything normally, I ask you to call back another time and set the time.
At the appointed time, I again accept the call.
The girl appears to be an employee of a company located in Tokyo, says that they received good recommendations about me, and decided to offer cooperation. As a result, it all boils down to the fact that I am offered to take part in the purchase of shares in a company which, according to them, literally in a day will rise on the exchange by almost 700% thanks to the latest development.
I distinguish the representatives of the “famous Canadian company” per kilometer, but I had some free time and I decided to listen. At first, they zealously convinced me that they were a respected and reliable company, then that their offer was very limited and the chance to miss was tantamount to throwing a wad of money in the trash. Next went the classics of the genre. I was especially smiled by the offer to buy 2,000 shares for just $ 57,000 in a telephone conversation.
In short, I break off the girl at the most interesting moment and ask you to tell me where they got the number from and why they decided to call me? She hesitates at this and realizing that the thing is failing, she makes an attempt to "read out" a piece of her previous monologue. In the end, they promise to “swindle” me with soap, which is very
nice, of course ... Oddly enough, I googled the name of the company “Source One International” and also what they wanted to run - a certain biotechnological company “Dendreon Corp”. I did not notice any special mention from the scam. And the domain name has been registered for a very long time. So, if anyone needs it, fly in, I think they still have a lot of stocks :)
To summarize, I want to say that automatic scanners are on the alert and databases with detailed information are available to anyone. And this is considering that I registered my personal mobile only to participate in some exhibitions. So it seems that confidentiality is unrealistic now and you will have to periodically listen to incoming calls, filtering real offers from mobile spam.
I wonder when there will be anti-spam filters for calls?
