I remember a time when I was traveling by train from Chandigarh to Delhi after finishing my 12th grade exams. I usually avoid answering unknown calls, especially spam ones. But on that day, my mobile network wasn't working properly, and I didn't have internet access. I was getting bored, so when I received a call from an unknown number, I decided to answer it. I thought it would be nice to talk to someone while traveling. The caller claimed they only needed two minutes of my time and promised exciting news and an offer at the end. I started talking to them, and they began by asking some personal questions. Then, they offered me a job as a data entry operator, working from home. They said I could earn Rs. 20,000 per month. I questioned them about whether it was a spam call, but they denied it. However, when they asked me to pay a Rs. 5,000 enrollment fee, I immediately ended the call. I realized it was a scam and felt a huge sense of relief that I hadn't fallen for their trap. Later, I shared my experience with fellow travelers, and they agreed that I had dodged a bullet.
