Transparent scam

[andrewducker]

I got a 3 second phone call from unknown number, and robotic female voice said "I want to talk to you, add me on WhatsApp."

I worry about the kind of people who fall for something so transparently scammy.

Basically, this is a good argument for using whatsapp, where these unknowns can't call you... generally speaking.

That's part of the filter. They don't want to waste time unless you're not technically sophisticated.

I'm aware of that. That's why I worry about them.

I know there's something called WhatsApp, but that's all. If it's pronounced "what's up," I wouldn't have had any idea what the voice was talking about.

It's just a chat app. Like sending texts, only with added bits on top for video, audio, photos, etc. Nothing terribly exciting, but a way to get you in to conversation with them.
