It's True Caller
They looking up the numbers on True caller then getting your name and searching it on Facebook.
Must keep your Facebook profile as private as possible. If u get a burner sim create a fake profile with that sim on True caller.
Why can't we have a list of all the numbers they (scammers) call from.
I received a call from Captain so and so Gender based violence the other day. I have True caller installed. I didn't take the call.
Check LinkedIn and captain so and so is a retired cop from Capetown.
I only call jhb girls. I think the scammers are profiling real cops and associating their numbers with old cop names through True caller.
If we have a list of the numbers they calling from we can save and block in advance. Even the names they creating. Then we can lookup the list of scammers and if we do take a call we cab say you are flaged on the Red database as a scammer and cannot entertain u further.
I used my real phone for punting been doing that for years. I set my phone to do not disturb permanently and add my contacts to favorites. Only allowing my favorites as incoming calls.
I think if we create a list of numbers and names they call from, we will be better informed when it appears on our incoming calls.
Save all their numbers as scammer 1 2 3 4 etc on our phone book. This way True Caller will start also identifying those numbers as scammer 1 2 3 etc from your True Caller app installed on your phone. This will help other True caller users see it as scammer.
We need to create a thread and start publishing those numbers.
