“That’s why we will be providing a new SIM that is compatible, for free.”
Sample conversation:
- Hello, good morning. I am Jasper, calling on behalf of xxx Telecom.
- You may have heard that the company is doing a systems upgrade.
- Unfortunately, the SIM you have right now is not compatible with the new system.
- That’s why we will be providing a new SIM that is compatible, for free.
- Just text “activate” to 2366.
- We will send you a number password through text.
- Just text the password to 09xx-xxxx and the new SIM will be delivered to you within 30 minutes.
Things to note:
- Call from unregistered number
- Caller introduces himself as a telecom employee.
- Mention of network improvement to add a sense of legitimacy
- Mention of needing the new SIM to continue the service to force the recipient to comply
