Darknet Diaries
138: The Mimics of Punjab

This can lead to identity theft, phishing attempts, harassment, and unwanted spam calls. But there's a solution called Delete Me. I tried it and they immediately got busy scouring the internet for my name and gave me reports on what they found. And they got busy deleting these things. It was great to have someone on my team when it comes to privacy.

I find this call interesting. The victim recognized that this was an attempted scam right away and recorded the whole phone conversation. And it's very good for him to notice it that soon and hit record for the whole call. But would you have noticed this was a scam so early on if your cousin called you out of the blue and was in trouble? Would you have been tempted to send him $2,000 to free him?

Apparently, this kind of scam is becoming more popular in Punjab, which is an area in India and Pakistan. And what you're hearing behind me here is a clip from a YouTuber called Suk Viral, highlighting how people are getting hit with this scam. The idea here is simple. The scammer will pose as someone you know and ask you for money. It's not always the same scenario, though.

Tarun's cousin said, okay, and started trying to get more money to send, but then started having second thoughts and decided to call Tarun's sister and just told his sister, hey, can you check on Tarun to make sure everything is okay?
