Anyone Heard of Such Scam

I got like 10 missed out of country calls last night. Each time 1 or 2 rings and close. Finally, curiosity got the better of me and i called back, a guy answered who claimed to be Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah from Senegal. He says, i have a very important message for you, okay what? He says, he saw my number in dream and by his spirtual powers he knows that i live in Fulan country (vow, spirtual powers, ofcourse dude when u r dialing the country code, u know where u r calling), and some body has put a spell on you and i can help you in three ways. Then he started some jibberish but i hung up after that.

Wonder if any of you has come across such scam.

Never happened like this on phone!

But I do receive e-mails from some Royal family/business empire heirs who ask for my help so that they can offer me a part of their fortune!!:D

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

wow they're getting creative. lol

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

Firstly, did he call your mobile? or Land line ? (someone may have sold ur directory details to him etc).
Secondly, what else did he know about you, apart from your name (unless phone was not in ur name, since its visible in directory).
Thirdly, you can tell him, if there is a spell you know who exactly do u have to go to for help & say thanx to him.

Finally, never call back if the country code is not familiar, why to even waste a penny if the caller is that much spiritual & wants to help u he should be able to spend a tiny amount of money to let u know & offer help.

He called on my mobile. The guy did not know even my name. I wonder how he got my number, i duno if it was sold to him or he just tried it, as my number has repititve digits.

Anyhow, Begum subah sey mujh per Qul perh perh ker phook rahi ai.

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

very creative indeed :hehe:

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

No need for Qul's. If you're going to screw up, it wont be because of some spell on you. You can probably manage that on your own, just fine.

No, I've never received a call like that. This jadoo nonsense is such bullcrap - people try to capitalize on it to make a buck. Pathetic.

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

LOL I have casted the spell Icon. Yaar why did you even bothered calling him. I get these international missed calls sometimes, in return I start giving them missed calls. If you still have his number us ka jeena haram kardo with your missed calls.

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

LB, as i said, it was just curiosity that had the better of me that day. And i think it won't be any use calling him, he has probably no other job, except sitting by the phone and calling people.

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

Are you sure that you aren't now going to be charged extortionate amounts against your mobile account??
We have scams like that here in the UK that I have heard about...basically the other person cashes in!!
i'd check your mobile bill!

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

I did, and also i just subscribed to check my all local and international calls online.

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

Thats a first!

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam

I do however get calls from some spanish company and everytime i try to tell them that i don’t speak spanish and don’t wish to receive calls from them they hang up usually the instance i utter a single word of english :bummer: the number does not accept calls or i would get some spanish person to call them back and tell them to remove my number from their database.

Re: Anyone Heard of Such Scam
