A nightmare of a SCAM

I was scammed remotely in Egypt without any communication whatsoever between me and the scammer. Someone accessed my phone remotely and used my personal and national id pictures to take money from several micro loan apps on Google Play. they give like 500 or less which you must pay back doubled in a few days, and they take all these photos for insurance. They had my freakin' contacts list also for insurance. Suddenly i get overwhelmed with calls and whatsapps from many numbers asking me to pay back what i took "all numbers were red-flagged as Spam on Truecaller, some of which started to threaten me first that they will call everyone on my contacts list to tell them i am a fraudster then a couple of the numbers sent me photoshopped pictures of me and my national ID with captions"This guy is a fraudster and a pimp". i mean, what a nightmare this was. I couldn't deal with any of those people because when i said it's not me who took your money, because they probably hear that scenario everyday as a debt collector, so I had to go to police with that beautiful story and God sent me to this humble and respectful young police officer to who told me "will file the report but simultaneously and from a brother to a brother I will call every number that called you and explain what happened". and he did, he actually video called the numbers from his police office in order for them to believe what he says "which to me is a step way beyond what i expected him to do and as an officer i thought he will scare them but he actually didn't and was very polite with everybody. and guess what?! Not only he single-handedly took care of the entire problem, but he also took care of upcoming similar problems because i didn't know in how many apps my info were used and maybe in other types of fraud that i am still to find out. Because he knew from one of the callers that there are 4 partners, and together they own about 20 micro loan apps which were all the available apps of that type and notified all of them "except one app which was a legit company that refused to let go of the money so i paid it back already but unfortunately after i discovered that they targeted my i-score and ruined my credit history for months to come. Please, everyone be aware of anything on your phone that doesn't belong whether it's a photo, text, number, any type of file or any suspicious social media interactions because I don't wish this even for my worst enemy
