Ruriimasu 1st Gear April 25, 2019 Share April 25, 2019 Normally I don't do this, but there seemed to be some marketeers using Singapore virtual numbers ranging from 31290xxx doing spam marketing calls recently and they are bold and irritating. Their calls start as early as 7am and the latest I received was almost 11pm. When I did get calls on a particular day, they could reach 20 calls in a single day with the last 3 digits different each time. Being on the DNC list and complaint to PDPC, they could not do anything. Threatened these morons not to call anymore, they laughed back. WTF?! My blood pressure must have shot up 20 points. Apparently a few persons I know also got such calls, which are as good as harassment. Anyone else received these calls and who do you turn to for help? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beehive3783 Turbocharged April 25, 2019 Share April 25, 2019 Or if you want to guai lan with them, just answer the phone and put it on the table. Let them talk all they want. That's what I did to an insurance fella few years ago. She realized nobody was listening after she finished her nonsense, then she hung up 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruriimasu 1st Gear April 25, 2019 Author Share April 25, 2019 They are promoting some kind of trading product/app. Quite difficult to block as the last 3 digits always change and they always call with last 3 digits different. Due to the nature of my work, I can't ignore calls so whenever I see numbers starting with 31290xxx, my blood pressure shot up. I swear hulk genes are mutating in me now.

SG number starts with '6' followed by the next 7 numbers or +65. Why you answered when the number start with '3' and which suppose to be '6' ? Even with +65 in front, our HP numbers starts either with '8' or '9' and the rest I won't answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useless to inform pdpc or even report police.Use app like Truecaller to help u filter or block. U can update their database if it's a spam, so that in the future it won't disturb anyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ichibawa 5th Gear April 25, 2019 Share April 25, 2019 Keep adding to block list lor, why no use? Yeah I keep adding to my block list. From kidnapping calls, to undelivered parcels from Chinese speaking DHL customer service, to Chinese speaking SPF, and I think many more patterns to come since swindling is also a multi million dollar business.
