Impersonation Scam
Received a phone call at 2pm on thursday 30th july from +65 86548072
the person on the line indicated himself to be from singtel and calling regarding traffic overload on my wifi (many people from different locations accessing my router)
This alone was suspicious because an official singtel service wouldn't be calling from a mobile phone.
He then asked me to check how many lights on my router was flashing and if i had the wifi bills with me.
after i said no, my parents are the ones paying the bills, he asked if he could speak with them, but they were not home, so i asked if he would like to call back later just to see how far he would take this, but he just cut the call.
also here's the kicker, my wifi is under starhub not singtel.
