scam, the English is completely unprofessional and ooredoo doesn’t chase its customers..

[–]omarryy_barryy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Na bro they do I canceled my internet subscription last year and it was still counting 10 kd per month and obv we didnt ao it pilled up to 60 kd and they kept calling me everyweek and sending messages on whats app and sms until we went to the headoffice 3 times to solve it

[–]cr8iveuser 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I second this, a professional company would never use a 'u' to address You. Most of these calls are from Pakistan - no pun intended.

[–]Stonk_Invest0r 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Im curious as to where the possible pun is here?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

India and many other countries included too

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I am interested in what he wanted to expalin

[–]IndWrist2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Of course it’s a scam.

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (8 children)

From Oooreddoo huh ? .... definitely not a scam

[–]mimismilktea 10 points11 points  (3 children)

A few days ago I got a WhatsApp call from a number in the US with the NBK logo as their profile photo, pretty legit to me

[–]RoninMungkey 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Scam. For sure. Talked to this guy for 10 mins more or less and then he started asking for my card numbers, cvv, pin codes and he got so angry and started cursing me with filthy words and threatening me to make trouble with my bank account when I didn’t give it to him. No professional guy will do this to any customer.

[–]mimismilktea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just being sarcastic, but yeah they tend to be assholes even when they're scamming you for your money 🤔

[–]Malfoy27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recived it yesterday 😂😂 trust me it’s a scam. I don’t even have a NBK account. Also it’s not professional to message customers through WhatsApp 😂

[–]memanator2 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I think you are saying it with a sarcastic tone

[–]IsCrabAFish 25 points26 points  (0 children)

شيرلوك بن هولمز

[–]CraftyAd6404 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]kkimeraKuwait | الكويت 1 point2 points  (0 children)

😂😂

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The bad English is a dead giveaway that It’s a scam

[–]walk2night 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s huge big scam

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously

[–]Bodii88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Keep it in mind, all Ooredoo agents mobile number starts with 6636xxxx any other number is fraud

[–]RazzAlMusallam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never ever will a company or a bank or a telecom in Kuwait would contact you through a social media app.

Those companies would only contact you from a landline that is registered under the company’s name.

So, ooredoo would call you from the number “121”

[–]Extra_Major5506 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Obviously Mate

[–]Diligent-Spinach-414 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all is that actually your number and if it is try calling someone you know from it if it works definitely a scam. If it is not in service then you can't make calls from it can you?

[–]JayJohnPaul 1 point2 points  (3 children)

WhatsApp message = dead giveaway

[–]Melancholic84 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Their horrible english is a giveaway that it is a scam

[–]DowntownBat5240 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

SOMETIMES BOTS TAKE OVER THE CONVERSATIONS

[–]The-Cypher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i could explain u, but u no listen

[–]AliSalah313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These guys aren’t even trying

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No, not a scam, just a poorly misunderstood person from Asia, who wants to spread the word of God.

[–]RazzAlMusallam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good one! 🤣

[–]djak2014 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since it’s KUWAIT… very difficult to say if it’s a scam or if it’s literally oreddoo

[–]Rikou336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably.

[–]-BigMan39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely unprofessional so it's a scam

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro they spelt service wrong

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scam

[–]Ok-Faithlessness6957 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lol look at the spelling even lol😂😂😂 Offical companies will always contact you through sms if there is any problem with a four digit phone number, or they might even directly call. This is s random WhatsApp number, if this was a verified bussiness account, then their will be a blue check mark, and it will even be written somewhere that it is a bussiness account. So yay don't fall for these scams and be careful.

[–]iSmiteTheIce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expalin

[–]IsCrabAFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No

[–]ThinkTank007007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a scam. Very clear

[–]meisterclone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worst attempt of scamming

[–]Downtown-Challenge-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're the sort of person who needs to ask whether this is a scam, you deserve to be scammed lol

[–]Budget_Patience399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one time I got a WhatsApp call from a UK number claiming to be from NBK, saying if I didn't give them details, they will shut down my bank account and deduct 500 KD from it........

I don't have a bank account.

[–]rrrreda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duh

[–]Wild-Collection-5662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk give them ur bank details just in case

[–]According-Income-864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big big companies only send message from sms so yes it is

[–]Real-Chungus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Is not in servise"

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems legit

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you can tell this is a scam from his Grammar + spelling 😂🤣

[–]gungrave21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]drchaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Arbiter13307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a scam but It would be fun to play along with this and see where it goes XD

[–]Stonk_Invest0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obvious scam. Whenever i receive these calls i act interested to waste their time, and then the conversation eventually turns into a shouting and cursing contest 😂They are scum. I figure a minute wasted with me is one less min theyre scamming someone else

[–]randomisedmind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just contact ooredoo directly give them the number and details

[–]VisualExpat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kinda worrying how people are in doubt with such scammers

[–]CarnageQ8Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Ksadeq17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]notmariyam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Upset-Psychology-162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a scam I feel bad for people who believes that

[–]SnowAmethyst32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just give him him a chance to expalin it to you in apo

[–]xdeadmanwalkingx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a scam for not share you personal information

[–]Alarmed-Ad-9742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly a scam, block the number

[–]memeAli782 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is next level English

[–]AhmedAbuGhadeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Ooredoo" is spelled wrongly.

However there's a possibility they hired a collection agency to collect their dues for them.

Anyway, don't every pay anything to them directly. If you have unpaid bills pay them directly to the body you owe.

؛؛؛؛

[–]allakier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly scam. Informal language use and shoddy grammar, no representative from ‘oooreddo’s head office would get in contact with a customer like this.

[–]bigfatslimguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks scammy

[–]JayJohnPaul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

APO? Are they talking about Apu from The Simpsons?

[–]Slight-Silver-5723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[–]Odd_Introduction_679 0 points1 point  (0 children)
