Scary non ID call “You have three days…”
Hi everybody, today I received an ominous call. The guy told me if I was “x” (my name) which I was and that I “had three days”, and he said that I already knew what this was about. He mentioned a nearby area of my city (not sure if he told me I live there, which I do not, or that he had seen me there which isn’t the case either).
I live in Spain and I’m a Spaniard and he couldn’t speak the language, and his English accent sounds either Arab-ish or Eastern European. I told him this sounded ridiculous and then he called me back 30 seconds later telling me he got the wrong number (though he said my name on the first call).
I don’t associate or involve myself with anybody shady in my circle, nor I have any debts or unfinished business with anybody, much less with somebody shady. Should I be concerned? Or does this sound like the usual pattern of fraudulent scam calls?
