How the Scam Works

The scam begins with an unexpected notification on your phone or email, asking you to approve a Gmail account recovery request that you never initiated. The recovery request often originates from a different country, in Mitrovic’s case, the United States. If you decline the request, as Mitrovic did, the scammers make a second move about 40 minutes later—a phone call from what appears to be an official Google number.

Be Aware And Safe 👍❤️
