From Venezuela living abroad, had the same output on a different situation.
Family was traveling to EU from Caracas, called directly without texting first via cell phone to get an idea of how ready they where to depart and all the anticipation for the trip and boom, seems like someone I don’t know is handling the phone.
Thoughts racing on my head: were they i loyal to their leaders. A way to makr money out of this is routing calls trough a maze of providers of their own to catch a “a quarter a minute” and spread unsettling thoughts on the general population who has family abroad.
After this we all started a group on Signal and hoped for a better way to communicate privately.
