My Experience With A Scammer And What Helped Me Out

So, for some weeks now, I've been monitoring a particular investment page on Instagram. The page looked so real that even as smart as I am, I could recommend it. They relate with their thousands of followers well, reply comment and post often.Last week, I decided to message them and ask how I can invest. They responded well in a professional manner. At the end, I intended to trade with 50k at first. The account number sent was a business account, not personal account. I was happy at last I made mama proud.. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚before sending the money, something prompted me to ask for their phone number, just as a security measure. I didn't know it was the phone number that will save me.I just added the phone number on my contacts and wanted to give it a call. Lo and behold, Truecaller brought it as a scammer number...Yeeeee!!!!!! I was shocked.. likeeee... I rechecked and rechecked to be sure, omoooo, Truecaller said it was a scammer number ....As I went back to Instagram, I then noticed the message was on vanish mode... Ahhhh... That's how my 50k would have gone... If not for Truecaller... If you no get Truecaller for phone, you're on a long thing.Have you ever had an experience with a scammer before too? Share your experience..
