Did they try to scam me or what??

Shuuu bathong,

Didn’t I receive a call from a sales guy who claim to be from my car tracking company. We had a good conversation, the guy was telling about a new App the company has with some cool features.

He went on to say, can you please verify your ID, lol guys why am I the one who need verification? You are the one who called me I should be the one verifying you.

So he agreed and proceeded to say, he has my email address, so he will send me an email so I can proceed to download this App. I was actually okay with this, although I know that for me to download an App I don’t need a link. I can go and search it on App store.

He then said, for the APP to pre-populate your information I am sending you an OTP, please confirm the OTP. 😅😅 bathong guys, are you guys giving people OTPs?? I told him that I am not sending you an OTP
1. The fact that the sms says OTP from company “X” doesn’t necessarily mean this guy, and his numbers are indeed form the company
2. Why can’t I log the OTP on the App myself when I download the App

⚠️ You should NEVER give anyone an OTP. It can really be for anything.

So I gave this guys an option of how we are going to proceed, I said, I have the verified numbers of the company. Give me your full names and I will call you back from that number.

He was very “emotional” about this and claimed that he knows my information such as when I installed the tracker, when I upgraded etc. I told him that we are receiving calls everyday by people selling us things who knows our personal details, unfortunately for me that doesn’t validate his legitimacy.

His last straw was, I can never do that to you😅😅. Yoh guys such promises from a stranger ??

I said give me your names so I can call you from the number I know. He only gave me his name, when I called the company, I unfortunately couldn’t find him.
