The language difference between Punjabi spoken in Pakistan and India is close enough that it can trick a lot of people.

As Tarun researched this scam more, he saw some other methods scammers were trying to do. Another one he saw was where the scammer says this.

Now, of course, the scammer does not actually send this money to the victim. What they do instead is they get a different scammer to call up the victim and pose as the bank or Western Union and say something like, hello, this is the bank. We're calling to let you know that there's been a large deposit in your name.

Someone has just put $9,000 into your account, and it's ready for you to pick up at any time. But then before that person can leave the house and go get the money, they get another call from the same scammer once again.

Oh man, those jerks. These scammers are sneaky. But again, this scam requires a bit of research by the scammers to be so successful. You gotta know someone's details to convince them who you're impersonating. And it sounds like Tarun's cousin was tricked into thinking the scammer was Tarun by giving him details that only Tarun would know. And I wonder, how did they get that info?

Did they find Tarun on Facebook or something and that's why they decided to target him?

Well, if the scammers are not grabbing people's details from social media, what other methods are there to get info on someone? Tarun kept watching videos about these scammers on Facebook and noticed something in one video. In one scam call, the victim was like, no, no, no, I'm no sucker. I'm not getting scammed by you.

So the scammer's making what deal again?

So the scammer's making what deal again?

Why would somebody give that up? Oh, because they want 25% of it. Man, that's messed up to say, oh, yeah, you can scam my cousin.

Dang, think through your family relatives for a moment. You think there's anyone in your family or friends that would give your details to a scammer in hopes to make a few hundred dollars from it? I mean, your family wouldn't be scamming you directly. They'd only be giving information about you, like what city you're in or what children you have, what jobs you have.

Just enough information to impersonate you on a basic level. And of course, phone numbers. I know there are people in my family that may do it. One of my cousins is currently homeless. And last we spoke, we got into a fight. Who knows what that kid's out there doing for cash right now? I don't know.
