Impersonation Scam
A man called my hp on 25 Oct 2021 at 8.15pm. He called me by my name and said that his purpose of the call is to let me know that he has changed his hp number. His hp number is +6594269677. I asked him for his name and he kept asking me to guess. I refused to give any names. He then said he can give me some hints. He said he is a bit plump and just spoken to me recently. He kept prompting me:" You don't know my name? How can you forget me? GUESS MY NAME.". I TOLD HIM I DON'T KNOW and just tell me who he is. He said his name is tony and he will send me a whatsapp message so that I know who he is. Then he just put down the phone. I don't KNOW anyone NAMED tony. In the end, the man also DId not send me any WhatsApp messenge.
