How I Got Saved From Scammers Who Pretended To Call From My Bank. by Keyzee(m): 10:22pm On Apr 28, 2024
I'll never forget the time I received a call from a number claiming to be my bank, asking for personal details. It seemed legitimate at first as they mentioned my name and other information, but luckily, I got some ample time to check the number on truecaller and truecaller really intervened and showed me the truth – it was showing RED (Scam) 😱

Thanks to Truecaller's powerful spam detection, I was able to see right through the fraudulent attempt and protect my sensitive information. 💪 It was a game-changer, giving me the peace of mind that my calls and texts are screened for potential threats. Now, I can confidently answer my phone, knowing that Truecaller has got my back. 🛡️

For me, Truecaller is a "MUST HAVE".

I think this goes beyond protecting yourself only. Let us try to educate our parents and the elderly on how truecaller can help them detect scammers /spam. They are the most susceptible to this type of scam.

Truecaller is saving lives. Imagine if you did not try to verify the number and you just gave out your details, that would have been really sad. More people need to be aware of how this app works for real.

If my grandmother can have Truecaller in her phone then everyone should have it also…. At the end it’s a win win for those who have and a risk risk for those who doesn’t

Forget about the Truecaller for a minute, are you saying if they had asked you sensitive questions over the phone and you did not have Truecaller you would have given them the info?

You need wisdom to live in Nigeria o. Everyday things are happening.

If any one calls, and you are not sure just tell them you will go to your bank in 20 minutes to fix whatever the issue is. If they insist, cut the call
