even if real police call us, the police will call us personally. where got use recorded system one... sure is a scam.. then I try called back the same number and it become engaged..

recently recv a call and samee after ans, switched to a recorded system again.. this time said I have a parcel to collect.. again I just hang up.. when I call back the number a guy answer the call and ask me who.. I told him I recv a call from his number.. then he like blur blur dun know wad is happening.. I just say ok nevermind and end the call..

so nowsaday a lot of such weird call.. just ignore then...

I received a somewhat similar call from someone claiming to be an ASP from Tanglin HQ about two months ago. I replied that this is Mr. Soh from the PMO - if u want any information please come down personally. He hung up immediately.

On another occasion, I received a call from a cha bor speaking in Mandarin claiming to be from the bank asking for my credit card details claiming that I had overspent on my credit line. I replied that it must be an elephant and a lioness I bought when I was in South Africa last month. Anyway, I said, see me in the Zoological Gardens and I pay you cash. She hung up.

Important to know that if the police want to investigate on something illegal or otherwise; they will never call - they either write you a letter requesting you to go down for an interview or they come to your house to visit you personally.

If you receive any one speaking in Chinese or otherwise; it must be a scam - the official working language in Singapore is English.
