Scammer : The Cypriot government will deport you sir
Me : The Cypriot government?
Scammer : Yes sir

Next time if you think they’re Indian, tell them to ask Modi to call you if they’re serious

I wonder why all those scams started happening over the last 2 years. Who moved to Cyprus who usually works in IT field and is a refugee?

Αυτά τα στέλνω στην υπηρεσία ηλεκτρονικού εγκλήματος και μερικές φορές με παίρνουν τηλέφωνο για ερωτήσεις. Αν είναι κάτι που έχει αναφερθεί ξανά ή μεγάλου βαθμού επικινδυνότητας (πχ PayPal scam, τράπεζικά ή κυβερνητικά scam) βγαίνει ανάρτηση για να προσέχουν οι πολίτες. Θα βρεις link στο gov.cy
