When an unfamiliar number starts probing for sensitive details like your ID or passport, it’s a classic red flag. Never share personal documents over the phone, especially if you didn’t initiate the contact. Hang up immediately and log the call, then consider reporting it to local authorities or your telecom provider. If you suspect identity theft, review your credit reports and activate fraud alerts. Keep a record of any numbers that repeat these tactics and educate friends and family to stay vigilant. A cautious approach can stop scammers before they gather enough data to cause real harm.
A weird call asked for all my personal details like IC and passport number; I've already filed a police report.
