The False Alarm

​One evening, Mark received a call from an unknown international number. A voice shouted, "We have hacked your phone! Send money now or we delete everything!" ​Mark’s heart raced, but he paused. He looked at his phone and realized it was still working perfectly. He remembered: Scammers use fear to control you. ​Without saying a word, Mark hung up and blocked the number. He waited for something bad to happen, but nothing did. It was all a lie. By staying calm, he kept his money and his peace of mind.
