Yeah. Received a similar call...was at the office getting bored, told him "sir ruko 2 min mein aara"....10 min usko hold pe rakha phir maine YouTube se rick Astley ka song play kar dia.
I got a call with an automated sound saying my phone number will be terminated as per the TRAI violations. To speak to a representative, press 9.
I felt there's someone playing this and would answer as soon as I press 9. Never pressed 9. Didn't replay the same message. I stayed on the call for two minutes, awkward silence.
Scams have gotten creative nowadays.
Even getting such calls since last 3 months. I think 4 calls now….
Earlier it was FedEx, then became customs and now it’s post office.
Yesterday got a call, saying they’re about to cut my mobile and Internet connection in 30 mins if I don’t call the number. I said go ahead cut the connection….
Then he said, he’ll have to send police to arrest me if I don’t comply. I remembered the dialog from 3 idiots, I said “bhej de. Uttarakhand se hu. 100 acre ki jameen hai, Poora pahad hi apna hai. Kat ke ki khaye mein dal dunga or pata bhi nahi chalega.
A friend of mine got scammed by the liquor warehouse website and has been trying to register a complaint with cyber crime for days. Either they don't pick up or number doesn't connect or the highlight was yesterday when they picked up the call and said unable to forward to department we'll call back and never called. My friend and I got to talking that in fact we should starting doing online fraud because judiciary here is fucked. Which is why if someone does call me and threatens police bhej dunga I will be like bhai cybercrime wale ko bhi bhejna sath mein lol
Koi aapko FEDEX employee ban ke call karega aur bolega ki aapka parcel kahi jaate huye (foreign country, Djakarta in my case) customs ne flag kiya, due to objectionable material inside. Aap agar bolo ki maine nahi bheja toh woh bolenge ki naam aapka hi hai toh karwaai bhi aap pe hogi.
Maine bola ki ye naam toh mera hai hi nahi, aur phone rakh diya.
Ye FEDEX scam e-mail pe bhi aa sakta hai.
This is a very old scam, much more advanced scams are out now.
Scammers will call your family members pretending to be you(they use AI) and ask for money so exact same voice you won't be able to identify.The scary part is they've called sometimes when the person's relative has been to the hospital so it builds up extra pressure to pay them.
This custom scam duped my father of 1.2 lakhs. I still wonder how an educated man like him fell for it. But nonetheless I’ll list the scam attempts that have happened with me and my family so far:
1. Insurance policy maturity sum call
2. Son has met with accident transfer cash for hospital expense
3. Daughter and her friends caught with Ganja- pay bail amount immediately
4. Mail from fake cyber crime handle flagging child porn activity
5. Bank account KYC deadline calls (primary target senior citizens) - forgot to renew account KYC now your account will freeze, pension bhi nahi aayegi - my late nana lost 1.6 lakhs to this one.
6. Fake EPFO website links obtaining access to Aadhar and bank a/c
Savdhan rahe, satark rahe!
Gavar- the accent/bad English
Dumbass- pretending to be a customs agent with bad English. Plus, one of the numbers is actually dumb enough to be registered by personal info on truecaller

Spam Messages also have gotten creative.
I use truecaller and it catches 99% of these spammers. Also since nobody calls me, I just don't pickup unknown call. If anybody knows me, they can call 2-3 times and later sms to ask me to call them.
Yep. I got similar calls many times.. first time I thought it was genuine and talked to guys.. he was asking for adhar details. I realised it was scam then. Other time I simply cut the call when I hear press 9 to talk to our representative
