I had this attack tried on me. It was a video call from my friend's Facebook account. If I didn't know enough to be suspicious, I wouldn't have answered. Luckily I have that friend on Signal, so I knew they wouldn't have called me on Facebook asking for money. I tried calling on Signal, but they didn't answer. They must've not had their phone on them. Calling their home phone worked, though, which is kind of a weird thought.

Their phone was probably offline at the moment.

Nah, they just leave it in another room sometimes and don't care if they miss a call or notification.
