    I think it’s a scam targeting specific areas

    I lived a short time in NY and I got a mobile with a phone number with a Flushing area number (lots of people with Asian descent live there). Literally the first day I start receiving robocalls in Chinese, I recorded it and let a Chinese listen the message. It said there’s a problem with my documentation and I have to call a number as soon as possible or face consequences. I was told this is a scam, they try to get money to fix a non existent issue.

      But I don’t even live in NY or CA where the calls are coming from, I live in Walz Country (MN) loving living over here with numberious benefits most states don’t have but still am getting these calls all day every day! At first it was terrifying but my green card restaurant owner told me she gets them too all the time and just block and ignore. But it’s straight up terrifying especially for people who don’t understand!
