Modus Operandi
Initial Contact: Scammers contact the victim, posing as law enforcement or legal officials.
False Claims: They claim that a family member has been arrested and needs immediate financial assistance.
Urgency and Fear: Scammers create a sense of urgency and fear, threatening legal action or harm to the family member.
Payment Demand: Victims are asked to pay for bail or legal fees, often through untraceable methods.
Continuous Pressure: Scammers maintain pressure until the money is paid, often using emotional manipulation.
