It’s not the location, it’s the illusion of time constraint

then came the long story:
- my phone number was used on a different device..a Xiaomi Redmi 7
- that device trying to perform a transaction using someone else’s credit card to top up a TNG eWallet account linked to my number total of RM 25,000 (who so stupid to perform huge transfer ?)
- he claimed the actual credit card owner had lodged report to TnG office
- according to him, their investigation showed my number was involved and had been moved to this other device.
- he warned me that I needed to prove my innocence at TnG HQ before 1PM, or legal action would be taken.
- he even gave a report number: T166802P, asking me to “check it myself.”

I received a call from DHL asking if this is my number... 016 xxx xxxx. I said no that is not my number. Then he asked, "then whose number is this?". I told him, "How the hell I suppose to know whose number since it is not my number?"

Stupid scammer. 

- he warned me that I needed to prove my innocence at TnG HQ before 1PM, or legal action would be taken.

Anytime someone informs you via phone you must do this before certain time, and usually it's a very tight and impossible deadline, it's 99.99% a scam.

That's the most common mo for scammers
Always want to confirm the phone number belong to you.
