When you're on the metro, someone you don't know might approach you and ask to borrow your phone urgently. They could say their phone is out of balance or that the battery is dead or stolen. They promise to return your phone in just two minutes after making an urgent call.
But be careful! There's a viral video online that shows how someone might use this trick to deceive you.
In the video, a person is seen talking on someone else's phone near a metro. They slowly move towards the metro as they talk. When the metro doors start to close, they quickly get on, leaving the person who lent them the phone behind. The metro then leaves the station.
The video aims to warn people about this scam where someone might trick you into lending them your phone.
This video was shared on Instagram by an account named official_rajthakur__. It has received over 17 thousand likes. People who watched the video shared their experiences in the comments. One user said it's a scripted video but the warning is important. Another user shared that they had experienced something similar. People agreed that making such videos helps raise awareness about these scams.
