Singapore Telecom will display a "+" sign in front of all foreign phone numbers. Locally dialed calls will not display this sign, while directly blocking scam phone numbers such as "999" and "995" from abroad. Relevant technical work is planned to be completed by April 15.
The embassy in Singapore reminds new Chinese citizens that if they receive a strange phone call from the local area, but the phone number prefix shows "+65", they should be vigilant. If I can't make a judgment, I can check with the embassy or the Singapore Police. For calls from unknown sources, we will resolutely refrain from transferring funds and disclosing personal identity and bank account information.
If you are unfortunately deceived, you should immediately report to the new police and contact the bank where I opened the account to take account freezes, recoveries or other stop-loss measures. If necessary, you can report it to the public security organ of your domestic household registration place (alarm number 110). If I cannot report the case directly, I can report it through my domestic relatives.
