Unfortunately, I have encountered these kinds of situations so many times in my life. When I get these calls, I always get worried. I start to remember if I have done something wrong, and I begin to panic. Why would someone call me? Normally, I don't answer because these calls are sometimes conducted with the intent to scam people. It actually happened to my father once, so it could happen to me as well. But this time, I think I was in Sabonju, which is considered a suburb of Azerbaijan. There were not many people around me; the streets were so empty, and there weren't even any cars. I felt so alone and bored, which is why I decided to take the phone. I answered, and someone started to tell me that I was under arrest for fraud and that there were many victims who had given testimonies against me. I started to panic. What do you mean? It's impossible! There's some misunderstanding. Who are you? My voice trembled, and I really started to feel terrified about what could happen. Then I understood—I got pranked! It was my friend, Alekber. He called me because he said he wanted to prank me. I realized it was a joke, which was an inside joke between us. He was doing military service, and it had been a long time since we had talked to each other, so I had really forgotten about him. After that experience, I learned to act cool in front of these kinds of situations. I don't panic anymore, so I think it was something beneficial for me.
