Lately, I’ve had this issue where I call scammers, and they get suspicious almost immediately and hang up. I’m not sure if it’s my voice or something I’m saying, but a lot of them seem highly paranoid, and I must be tipping them off somehow.
Typically, I’ll say something like, “I’m having a problem with my Coinbase account.” They ask for my name, then my phone number, and then they just hang up. Other times, they’ll ask me to describe my issue, and I try to make it sound like a real problem someone would have, but they still hang up. Does anyone else experience this?
I remember reading that some scammers only target people they think are old, and I wonder if my voice makes them think I’m too young and smart to fall for it—so why would I even be calling? Just wanted to share my frustration. Occasionally, I do get someone on the phone, but it seems like 90% of the numbers are dead, and the 10% that pick up are too paranoid to talk.
