Good afternoon all friends, stay excited in participating in the contest in this beloved community of love.

The 17th week has determined a very extraordinary theme by the community with the title meeting with fraudsters. I think this is very interesting for us to discuss but in my life I have never been scammed online or in person which has cost me a lot.

But I have often seen incidents like this happen to people around me, okay friends, all here I want to tell you about things that have been experienced by my friends in my hometown. It's a shame that this could cost him a huge amount of money with such a sinister scam.

When that day my friend applied for a job at a well-known company, then in registering to become an employee at that company, he had to go through several stages of testing so that the applicants had to compete fiercely with a large number of rivals. If I'm not mistaken in this test, there are three stages to becoming an employee in the company, so my friend he has passed the test in the second stage and he has to determine his fate in the third stage so that he is still trying to pass at the company. It wasn't long before he took the third stage of the test and a number came into his parents' smartphone. The person who called told him that if the son wanted to become an employee at the company, he had to pay a fairly large fee so that he could pass without having to compete fiercely. with other applicants.

So it's very sad because they trust the perpetrator so much that they make a payment by transferring some money to the fraudster without investigating first whether it's true. Indeed, this perpetrator made a way so that my friend's family really believed in him and he also admitted that he was an employee at the company who had a high position and he also gave evidence that there were several fake letters in his hands so that he also sent it to my friend's family and my friend's family can trust it well.

Very sorry, even though this is a fraud committed by the perpetrator so that my friend and his family have spent quite a lot of money and this is a total loss for them in this case. Because when my friend took the test and asked the employees who were there that it was not true, and that the perpetrator was not a known person in the company and was an unclear person.

That's what happened to my friend, for all of us to be careful of fraud both on cellphones and in other media. Because actors can sometimes process their speech perfectly so that we believe it. For all of us to remain vigilant against fraud, either in person or online, if there is something we first identify the person so that we are not victims of fraud.

This is very sad. The perpetrator is definitely a known person in the company using a fake name and number to scam people. How else do you explain his having your friends contact and knowing about the interview. Or he has an insider who fed him that information. Although chances are if the parents shared the information with of there, anyone can be the scammer

The lesson here is to always investigate before acting.

There's no doubt that the perpetrator is an insider. He has all the information needed to carry out his evil work. He would have been exposed if the conversation was recorded. I"ve learned to record any important conversation I have with people no matter how close we are. I feel for the guys family. Scammers dey on fire.

Wow... we see these things happen all the time. People are falsely accused of things they have no hand in. Just one of the sad realities of the world we live in.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
