Received a call from one sg mobile number but is china lady speaking.... my Chinese isnt good but only picked up words like i need to pay some money for dunno what sheet. Immediately i know is scam so I hanged up and block the number.

I see unfamiliar local mobile number I don't even want to answer it. Suddenly few days later the unknown number is flagged by Google as a spam/scam call.

This is what you get putting the useless Jo Teo at the helm for cybersecurity. None of her solutions work.

That's why SPF nowadays can only play catchup with these scammers, they are always one step ahead of the system because they already have insiders blending into our local scene and knows how to circumvent our laws.

So the only way to do is just ignore any unknown numbers, in fact nowadays couriers seldom call anymore. Most would just send a whatsapp message or an automated SMS.

Just keep telling them, speak English, speak English then they will hang up immediately.
