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

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.
