The last time I answered a phone call from a strange number when I was near the cafe after I got from my ex-circle activities from my school. It was kind of weird that I got a call from a stranger because I don’t really often give my phone number to someone. But I guess it was fine and I responded immediately. So it was a voice of my mother. My mother sounded really happy and gay because she won’t have luxury for one million. It was kind of unexpected because she’s not really a player of such amazing games. To be honest, it felt fake because my mom would never call from someone’s phone and tell me such incredible important news through a phone call. So I tried to office my phone quickly and text my mother. It turned out that it was not her but an illegal robber who was trying to get my money.

The last time I answered a phone call from a strange number was when I was near the cafe after I finished my extracurricular activities at school. It was kind of weird to receive a call from a stranger because I don't often give my phone number to anyone. But I guess it was fine, and I responded immediately. It was the voice of my mother. She sounded really happy and excited because she had won a million. It was unexpected because she's not really a player of such amazing games. To be honest, it felt fake because my mom would never call from someone else's phone and tell me such incredibly important news over a phone call. So I tried to hang up quickly and text my mother. It turned out that it was not her but an illegal scammer who was trying to get my money.
