Scam Alert! Has Anyone Been Getting These Messages by shaqur231(m): 9:48pm On Jan 02, 2023 |
I have been getting WhatsApp messages from foreign numbers saying I should repay a loan which I don't know about. I think this is another scam going on. I have attached screen shots of the messages for your attention. I really do not understand what is going on. Is there anyone getting such messages? I have also gotten messages from foreign numbers as well saying I have qualified for a loan of up to 50k. These messages have been popping up after someone chatted me on Telegram to help him sell a car and that he will give me 5k USD which I find very funny. Screen shots of the chat from Telegram attached below

shaqur231:Ignore them. They don't have anything on you. They are just hoping you'll panic and pay them off. |
