So in sammary this scam was intended to collect your personal data e.g phone numbers from victims.
With this information in the hands of the threat actors, they might use it against you in so many ways for instance social engineering and identity theft among others..
10/10
Your take on this
1. NEVER CLICK ON ANY RANDOM LIKE THAT JUST POPS UP. 2. ALWAYS THINK TWICE BEFORE GIVING OUT ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION. 3. ALWAYS GET INFORMATION FROM THE RIGHT SOURCES

Why is information technology (#IT) so important? #SSOT
Simply put, the work of most organizations would slow to a crawl without functioning IT systems. You’d be hard-pressed to find a business that doesn’t at least partially rely on computers and the networks that connect them.
Maintaining a standard level of service, security and connectivity is a huge task, but it’s not the only priority or potential challenge on their plates.
Active Directory helps you organize your company's users, computer and more. Your IT admin uses AD to organize your company's complete hierarchy from which computers belong on which #Network, to what your profile picture looks like or which users have access to the storage room.
Active Directory saves information about network objects and makes it easier for administrators and users to find and use that information. Active Directory organizes directory information logically and hierarchically using a structured data store.

In Python, the command print tells the program to display words or numbers on the screen. Here's a line of code that tells Python to display the words “Hello, World!”
print("Hello, World!")
print is a keyword—that is, a word that has special meaning for Python. It means, "Display what’s inside the parentheses." Note that print isn't capitalized. If you capitalize it, the program won’t run.
