Guys, remember. If the police want to know your bank details, they could have just check with the bank.

[@IFJF4NT1M3]

Yes there's no escape

[@BoyG10]

The actor who played the SIO was natural and impressive. Even in role-playing, he was so intense and committed without the need of an exaggerating physique to woo the viewers. That's precisely how officers should reflect in their line of duty.

[@reddragon2k6]

Extra tip: Do not answer if any phone number starts with +65. Legitimate local number won't start with the +65 prefix Edit: well it seems like scam numbers ALSO don't have the prefix these days bruh

[@RyKingTheRy]

+65 is singapore

[@skylersun1174]

@@RyKingTheRy singapore already phased out this prefix for all service providers within the country. It is only now used as an identity to Singapore's unique country code.

[@MrEsfranck]

We have the same problem with this type of scam here in Norway too. Never give the bank details to anyone. The genuine police will never ask for bank details.

Bruh why all the criminals like to go luxury coast international hotel

[@raymondlow393]

6:01 This "good citizen" had wasted his 60 over years of living and learning. Where the hell can legitimate police authority arrange for handing in such huge sum of money in a back lane, and he did not have the slightest sense to ask why the money was not to be surrendered to officers in a police station ??

[@raymondlow393]

@Jyue An - - - What do you mean by "cannot say". So long as you have proof to back what you say, what's the fear ?? The only reason that I can think of is this man was damn stupid with a super simple mind, just do whatever others told him to do, without going thru' his brain.

[@michaelpascual3581]

Well, you could consider the fact that he's an elderly man who's gullible. Look at Indian scam calls, they're targets are mostly elderly people. Just my thoughts

i was almost scammed once by some chinese police officer,luckily my parent were from the city they say they are based and i was like i will just ask my parent to confirm it in person at a police station,then they cant proceed from there lmao.Also gave up my chinese citizenship so i was like even i was involved in any crime in china they cant arrest me from china and i can just report to singapore police for stolen identity

[@ABC-ed8cg]

I like to play with scammers. I can tell from their numbers. No gov organizations will call to request important details over the phone. Sometimes I’ll sing songs to the scammers until they hang up. Or I’ll pretend to chit chat with them by pretending I’m a radio DJ and they’re a caller who just called in. ‘Hello, this is xxx music station, who is this calling? Hello??!’ They are usually very stunned and hang up by themselves lol.

Hello, everyone, please do be aware of calls with the “+” prefix, which originate from overseas. Should you receive such calls, please do not entertain them and the callers’ instructions. Reject them immediately. And also never ever reveal any Singpass and bank account login details and one-time passwords with anyone else, including family and friends.
