minus-squareMetawishlinkfedilink3•2 years agoThe first mistake was picking up a random phone call. Can’t get scammed if you never pick up haha! But yeah, if money is involved, I initiate the call to the person. If you didnt call, don’t give out information!
minus-square@angarabebesi@lemmy.mllinkfedilink2•2 years ago Don’t pick up random calls Don’t give your phone and email to random websites Use throwaway email for signing up to non-critical online services (non-bank, shopping, etc…) This will filter away 99.999% of spam and scam online.
