| Jumpin said: The weirdest one I got was from something called "Scotshia Bank" - it was some English speaking robot. I think they were trying to say Scotland Bank and that they were taking me to Federal Court if I didn't contact them on some weird foreign number. Kind of funny, but scammers need to try harder. Otherwise, most I get are in Mandarin or Cantonese, I don't understand them. |
Chinese one is for Chinese foreign nationals. It is telling them that they are from Chinese embassy and some kind of mix up. It is basically trying to scare them that they might get deported back to China unless money is paid. They usually spoof the number of Chinese embassies from that country and I assume leave a different number to call back.
I've gotten at least two or three messages in Mandarin probably related to this scam. I did read about it in article before ever getting the voicemails. I believe a rich Chinese old woman in New York gave away 100k or more when she fell for the scam.
