Me: Who give you the report?
Caller: Okay sir, right now in our system we received multiple reports from ScamShield that have a mobile number of your mobile number...

Caller: Sorry, 1800?
Me: Why you use 1800 line?
Caller: Our hotline number, sir. We are using a ScamShield system that's why the number is reflected as a 1800. Our hotline number is...
Me: Okay, anyway you shouldn't be calling me. You shouldn't be calling me, I never give you my number. There's a DNC, you shouldn't be calling me. Enough already.
Caller: Sir, we're only making notification calls. This is only...
Me: Enough already. You have to SMS me something first. I will check, not call me. This is not the proper channel to do it.
Caller: That's why we are trying to notify you, sir. This is only notification.
Me: Yes, please send an SMS to me with a gov.sg SMS to me, to say that it is an official. Yah, am I clear enough?
Caller: Yes, sir.
Me: Okay, clear enough? And you SMS me... from gov.sg, okay? Then I know it's official. Because what you are doing now is not the proper channel. You're using a 1800 and you're recording. There's a lot of disturbance behind the background. Okay?
Caller: Sir, first of all we are trying... we are trying to notify you. We are not trying to scam you or anything. If...
Me: Okay wait, the right way to notify from the government is gov.sg. You already do the wrong thing. The way to notify is gov.sg. Have to be very careful with you all.

Caller: I will send you the official notification letters from... to your email, but first may I just tell you... from the official email, from your official email I will send everything that you need to know. But first...
Me: Okay, can. Because it's very simple to me. If someone is seriously taking... all these IP addresses should be blacklisted, the IP addresses range should be blacklisted long ago. Okay, so nobody is doing anything. So when you come and tell me you're doing things, it's highly suspicious. Okay, am I clear enough?
Caller: Okay sir... yes, I understand your concern.
Me: Yah. Basically, what I have been sending to you all is I'm just telling you all that... there are still a lot of IP addresses not blocked. Okay, when I can still receive means the IP address is not blocked.
Caller: Okay Mr. ***, please calm down. We are only trying to ask for your cooperation right now. We are just trying to contact you and to see whether you know or not about this mobile number that's registered under your name. We are only trying to ask, we are not trying to do anything.
Me: Oh, I never register anything with ScamShield. And I will never give people number... I don't use ScamShield because I never get scammed before. I only have DNC... a lot of DNC law break.
Caller: First of all sir... first of all sir, we are trying to contact you to just inform you. Now, let me tell the... let me tell the situation that we have received right now, sir.
Me: Okay, you just send SMS me. You SMS me what you just say with the case... with the number, okay? You are from Scam Centre right, you say right? So please give... SMS me through, with whatever number you want to use lah. But the proper channel is gov.sg. Okay, you're recording I can hear. I also recording lah, okay? ...
Caller: Yes, I understand sir. But please let me just talk and finish the explanation.
Me: I already tell you what you need to do, right? Have I tell you what you need to do? If your notification, please send an official notification from gov.sg, or if you want to use another number, please send. And I will report this scam... to the government.
