Impersonation Scam
I got a call from +6564385125 number stating as ICA officer today! Somehow he knows my name and my country name from where I came.He said that he wanted to speak to me regarding some urgent matter and Asked me to go to some silence place. He introduced him as an ICA officer and scaring me by telling that i have missed to fill some important information in the immigration point.
Also he asked me about my original certificates and i said they are at home. then he asked me to go home IMMEDIATELY to get the certificates as some one will come to my home to collect them. he keep saying me to keep him in CONFERENCE while going to home. I said I don't have permission to go home in office hours. then he said if i don't go now, someone will come and arrest me with in 72 hours.
He warned me that if I disconnected the call or if i tell to any one that I got call, then it will be a serious offence.EVEN I TRIED TO ASK HIS NAME AND HE SAID THAT "don't you think this as a prank call and WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO DO AND DON'T MAKE THIS AS AN ANOTHER ISSUE."
He talked to me about 20 min and suddenly the call got disconnected. when I checked this number, I found it was a fake ICA NUMBER.
LOOKS HE TRIED TO GET MY PERSONNEL INFORMATION/ ORIGINAL CERTIFICATES details. BUT LUCKILY CALL GOT DISCONNECTED AND I DIDN'T SHARE ANY INFO. so people please beware of these kind of scams.
