00:00I've been scammed in three ways.
00:02So the first one is on WhatsApp.
00:05How it happened was like 2K to get 5K.
00:09So I actually tried 5K to get 10K.
00:12And when I sent the 5K, the person was like,
00:15I should send another 2K.
00:17So it would be able to help me process it.
00:19I foolishly sent it then.
00:21That's how my 7,000 euro went.
00:23But I have a friend that he was scammed.
00:28He bought like data from one guy online.
00:31When he sent the money, the guy called him back
00:33that he wouldn't be able to do that exact amount
00:35that is too small, that he should send another one.
00:37The guy sent again.
00:40So it was like the third time that he was not like,
00:42he now told me another guy, they are scammed,
00:45you say it's a lie, it can't be possible.
00:47So he tried calling the guy and the guy didn't pick again.
00:50So that's how his money and everything went.
00:53You know, you see something, you pay for it.
00:55And after payment, the person goes to you.
00:58You know, I reported the account, you know,
01:01because I did it via transaction.
01:03I reported the account.
01:05And after some time, I didn't hear anything.
01:07I just had to let it go.
01:08I was chatting with someone.
01:09So I just said, let me quickly check something.
01:12I'll just come back to WhatsApp.
01:13Then I just see my WhatsApp account has been spammed.
01:16I didn't know what was happening.
01:18Although I shared my link to some of my friends.
01:22Like I lost my contacts.
01:23So then when I changed my phone,
01:26I was able to recover it back.
01:28I was able to recover it back in my life.
01:28Then I was able to recover it back.
01:31I was able to recover it back.
