Calls from +60 Malaysia claiming to be SingTel

Post by abbby » Wed, 02 Sep 2020 9:36 am

Now, that's a really good one when I thought +65 spammers are already bad enough, now I'm getting more from overseas +60 Malaysia ones saying they're from SingTel...and says ' Your SingTel line is faulty...' and I just reply them ' Oh, your colleague just came by and fixed it.' :-" :-"

It's clear when it's a scam. It's a +60 number but it's an Indian accent.
I do the "oh I am with Starhub/M1" .... they hang up

I find joy in teasing them now...yes, it had an Indian accent.

Tell them to hang on a second please, then put down the phone and go do the laundry.
