I received a call from a man with a Malaysian accent who resembled one of my acquaintances. He claimed to have lost his phone and provided me with a new number. He repeatedly asked if I remembered him but refused to disclose his name. After a few days, he contacted me again, requesting a $2300 transfer. This raised suspicions, prompting me to call the old number and confirm that the person was indeed a scammer. I promptly blocked the number and reported the incident. It's worth noting that the phone number displayed on my device didn't have a "+65" prefix, initially giving the impression of a genuine call. Additionally, the scammer followed a different approach by contacting me over a period of a few days instead of attempting to trick me.
