Transparent scam

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 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.
