I was contacted by this number; a person with an odd accent recited my ID correctly, claimed to be at an international airport handling outgoing parcels containing around 18 passports and several bank cards. I haven't shipped anything, so I suspected a fraud attempt and hung up once the line quality worsened, telling him to call the police.

Expert Opinion
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing, this call masquerades as an official inquiry but reeks of deception. The scammer's tactic—quoting your ID and spinning a tale of seized passports and bank cards at an international airport—aims to panic you into compliance. You did right by hanging up and suggesting police involvement; never engage further or share info. Block the number immediately, report it to authorities like your local consumer protection agency, and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity. Enable call screening on your phone to filter unknowns, and consider registering on do-not-call lists for added protection. Stay vigilant; these fraudsters prey on trust.
