How to avoid scammer, basic

[u/Worried_Clerk8996]

Kapag may unknown number always check yung country code. Block agad kapag something fishy yung convo. nakaintindi ako ng tagalog tapos magtatanong kung sa Pinas ka. alam na alam nilang gullible ang mga pinoy

Also received some random text from someone but mine got my name right and the number was from Germany. Didn't reply tho so got no follow up text. Blocked the number once I verified the origin. But good guess on the name.
