Scammers are everywhere so beware

June 17, 2022

There's a lot of scammers out there so we should beware of everything suspicious or not. It's better to be safe and cautious than regret later.

I was in rage earlier!

You know that kind of feeling that you are literally tired from a whole day work, and then when you arrived back and wanting to have a desired rest you received a call of someone whose really scared? You feel anger because your love ones are worried because of a single text.

Mum called me asking if I won't be going home tonight or if I had dinner already. I told her that I just got back in the office and also I'll be having my check up tomorrow so I will be home by launch, I already told my sister but guess she forgot to inform Mum. Then Mum asked about my eldest sister if she contacted me today. I said yes she did but she only greets good morning and we exchange few messages earlier but she was still home that time. Then Mum told me that our eldest was kinda late for work since she overslept(siblings problem is that we always overslept whenever were at home) and then asked if I can call and check on her. I told her that she should be working at this hour so maybe later.

After the call I planned to eat something quick but then another call came and it's from the 2nd sister telling me to call the eldest. Huh? Bruh what on earth? I told her I can't disturb someone whose working and Mum already told me about her being late. She ended the call and sent me this

In the message the sender said addressing Mum that the person have been in an accident and she just use other phone to message, asking for load.

Mum has been a victim of this scam and her being a person who easily gets swayed especially regarding us her children so she gave her load. Maybe Mum forgot about that incident and now she's worrying since our eldest didn't answer our phone call. I told them maybe she's at work already and they are not allowed to use phone while working, so we better wait for her to message us back.

Of all the people that they sent a message, they sent it to my Mum who is easily panics and she's not young anymore, even Papz so they are more prone to internal attacks and that worries me the most.

This situation takes me back to what happen last Monday when I also experience a little panic attack.

I am always using heater whenever I am cooking ramen. So after the ramen was cooked I place it into a bowl and put the heater in the tray for washing. I see to it that the lid was put inside the tray so that it won't fall and break. I don't know what happen but it ended up covering the heater again and when I lift the tray the lid fell and broke. I froze for a minute or two then without cleaning and collecting the broken glasses, I immediately grab my phone and called home, put it on speaker. My anxiety triggers again as they didn't picked up my call and I was close to tears. Luckily on my third attempt and at the first ring Mum picked up and I release a deep sigh and give all my thanks above. Mum asked what happen and I became irritated since they didn't picked up my call that instant. Mum explained that she's cooking dinner. Well, as the old belief, whenever you broke a thing, some bad situation will happen. So that 's the reason I called and checked on them and glad that they're fine.

But when I went home yesterday for my niece birthday, only then I found out that Monday afternoon, Papz collapsed while working at my uncles house. I was shocked to know only yesterday so I asked them why didn't they tell me. Mum then said that Papz didn't want me to worry. I literally cried while eating dessert last night. My parents are not that young anymore that's why I told them to just stay at home but Papz won't stay put and would want to work still.

But with what happened to him, I literally beg Mum to not let Papz work again. Money can be found, there are a lot of ways, but I can't find parents just anywhere. I can't find a Papz and a Mum so them being at home will put me at ease while working away from them. I have a lot of plans for them, it's my way of repaying them for everything.

Sorry for this article of rant. I was kinda so caught up from work, tiredness and worries. I hope you do understand .

Thank you for reading!
