from a number starting with 83 something...

claimed he was from standard chartered bank n that i made a transaction to binance.

No such thing what.

i told him to wait cuz i want to check, then awhile later he hung up

this kind of scammer go and die better. Wasted, i should have scolded him and his ancestors 祖宗十八代. Hopefully spf can trace the number to this idiot n get him apprehended.

You should copy/modify Liam Neeson tell him this:

"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom to scam me I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."
—Liam Neeson, Taken

It'll die a silent death, not because scam calls are eliminated or reduced. It's so useless. They have the database of the scam numbers, so why is it not even blocked from reaching our hp?

Unless I'm so heng my number is always the 1st on scammer's new numbers.
will give the benefit of the doubt that particular number is not yet in their database then
they do notify/feedback that the reported number has been block listed

but what do they do besides doing that? every mobile number is tied to an identity number right?
