I don't even answer the phone with unknown numbers. If it's so important, they'll leave a message.
Same for emails, don't know you ? Fuck off.

Chris should have listened to his mama when she said "don't talk to strangers" and "Santa Claus doesn't exist".
Or maybe she didn't ?

Best idea is to give them the name of the Police Chief and the address of the police station to send the fake cheques.

No mention of fake cheques here.
He used his scammer's money account to fill in orders, got some bonuses on it, then at one point had to inject his money as cashflow, got bigger bonuses (less than injected), several times growing like that, up to the point he injected enough to satisfy the scammers, and goodbye bonuses for the 88 years old granny needing healthcare.

The fake forum filled with accomplices is the main tool here, apart from him of course ^^.

Careful! Scammers Send Gift Links to Steal Telegram Accounts


Cambodia News (Phnom Penh): On 21 October 2022, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications published a warning to the public that there has recently been an uptick in tricks employed by hackers/scammers to steal personal Telegram accounts. Scammers create fake links with images promising gifts with links that look like messages from Telegram. The Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications’ warning notice is as follows:

1) Deceptive tricks
This scam is done by sending the Telegram account holder an animated image (GIF) with the caption "Gift 74/100 Free Premium". When clicked on, the link in the message leads the Telegram account holder to another message saying that they will receive unlimited account usage rights, but this requires the account holder to enter important personal information including the user’s name, password, account, etc. Hackers then obtain the information and then steal the Telegram accounts.

2) Preventive measures:
- Check all animated images (Gif) or links clearly and do not click to view or enter important information when requested.
- If you have clicked to view, do not enter any information. Immediately change your password and sign out of all devices immediately to avoid losing your Telegram account.

Users can find out more technical information related to this issue on the website of the "Computer Emergency Response Office (CamCERT)", Department of Security, Information and Communication Technology of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications at www.camcert.gov.kh

Chat support job offers in Cambodia posted on Facebook is 100% scam — victim

MANILA, Philippines — Job offers of chat support in Cambodia posted on social media giant Facebook is a “100 percent” scam, a human trafficking victim said on Wednesday.

During the Senate Committee on Women, Children, Family Relations and Gender Equality hearing, alias Ron, who was trafficked to Cambodia, recalled that he was forced to work in the human resource department of a cryptocurrency scamming firm.

He posted job offers for chat support or call center in Cambodia on Facebook.

“Interesado ako du’n sa sinabi mong nagpo-post ka sa Facebook ng mga job offer. Sa makatuwid ba — babala na ba ito sa ating mga kababayan? — lahat ng nakalagay na job offer sa Facebook na customer support o call center sa Cambodia, scam ba ‘yun lahat?” Senator Risa Hontiveros, panel chairperson, asked.

(I’m interested in what you said about posting job offers on Facebook. Does this mean — will this serve as a warning to our fellow Filipinos? — that all job offers of customer support or call center in Cambodia that are posted on Facebook are scam?)

Ron replied: “Yes po, 100 percent po. Papalabas nila na customer service, chat support. Pagdating du’n gagawin kang scammer.”

(Yes, 100 percent. They will say that it is a customer service chat support job. But when you get there, they will make you a scammer.)

Hontiveros then advised the public to avoid such job offer posts.

“So, kapag job offer na naka-post sa Facebook na customer support o call center sa Cambodia, scam ‘yun lahat. Takbuhan nila ‘yan. Huwag nilang pauunlakan ‘yan,” she said.

(So, job offers of customer support or call centers in Cambodia that are posted on Facebook are all scams. Run away from that. Do not engage with that.)

Hontiveros said that the panel invited Facebook to participate in the hearing. However, they declined.

“We invited Facebook to this hearing, but they sent their regrets. Kung hindi ako nagkakamali (If I’m not mistaken), Facebook also came under fire in 2019 for abetting human trafficking and domestic servitude practices, and we should not, we cannot allow them to remain a playground for traffickers,” the opposition senator said.

Hontiveros’ committee is looking into the human trafficking of Filipinos in Myanmar and Cambodia to work as scammers.
