Scared of scammer! Advice?
Something bad happened earlier. I was looking on Tik Tok to find a company that sells a product I want, i found one, went on their website that looked legit, messaged them and they sent me a WhatsApp message from an UK 07 number. The first thing they said was “hello, let’s sort out your order. First can I have your delivery address” I sent it before I knew it was a scam, (stupid I know), then they asked me to send money (£60) via an app called tap tap, they asked me to put the currency to Cameroon, this immediately sparked “scam” in my head and I blocked them.
10 mins later they then sent me a WhatsApp message from a Cameroon number, with a picture of my WhatsApp picture with the words on it “she’s wanted, £4000 reward plus 2x vapes and 3x gummies, details below” the details was my home address, this has scared the life out of me.
I called 101 and reported it. What will happen? I’m scared for my life. I told my ex boyfriend, he messaged their 07 number and told them to go away etc and they said “do you know who I am? I’ll end both you and your girl, I’ve had people on their knees begging for there life and it didn’t end well” police said it’s a common scare tactic, but what I don’t understand is how a foreign person from Cameroon have a seperate 07 number and can speak perfect English using English slang. What do I do? Am I going to get hurt?
