When a “close friend” calls you, but it’s actually a scammer on the other end
Hello, everyone!
This article isn't specifically about crypto, but as you know, at Altcoins.bg we are deeply committed to fighting financial fraud and helping prevent scams. Every day, we invest time and resources into protecting our clients, but we believe security shouldn't stop at our platform.
That's why we'd like to draw your attention to a new scam recently reported by NOVA. Scammers are now using technology that allows them to call you while displaying the phone number of a family member, friend, or colleague on your screen. In some cases, artificial intelligence is even used to imitate the person's voice, making the conversation sound completely authentic. They then follow a familiar script—creating a sense of urgency, claiming there's been an accident or another serious emergency, and attempting to convince you to send money or reveal sensitive personal information.
Never make financial decisions under pressure. If you receive a call like this, hang up immediately and contact the person through another trusted method to confirm that they were actually trying to reach you.
If this post helps prevent even one person from becoming a victim and saves them from financial loss, then we've achieved our goal.
Because we believe that business is not only about business—it is also about social responsibility.
