Check unknown Singapore numbers with recent reports (6 fixed, 8/9 mobile, 1800 toll‑free) and share your experience.
Unsure about a Singapore number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. You’ll see both legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) and waves of robocalls or phishing. Ranges like 6 (fixed lines) and 8/9 (mobile), plus 1800 toll‑free, are useful context but not proof of identity or exact location due to portability and VoIP — treat them as hints, not evidence.
Verification: return calls via the official number on the company website/app, check in‑app notices, and never share one‑time codes by phone. Use device/carrier blocking for repeat issues and leave a short, factual note here so others benefit from your experience.
Definitely junk, lol.
A Prudential representative called; I already said I’m busy and not interested, yet she followed up asking if I requested a callback.
The caller only spoke Chinese with a local accent, tried to verify who I was and said they'd WhatsApp me – lol.
Reference made to Standard Chartered.
The call seemed to be a scam; it sounded like a real person but was likely a recording.
A sales rep from Singtel.
Unsolicited message.
They from DBS were selling a savings plan.
Unsolicited.
When you pick up, only music plays.
When I picked up, music was blasting??
Unwanted message.
A fixed‑line callback was attempted, but the line is out of service, suggesting a scam.
Junk content identified as spam.
Caller alleged this was a new government scheme for CPF members, appearing to be a potential scam.
Annoying unsolicited call.
Caller knew my name and said this was his new number, wow.
That call looked like a classic scam attempt.
She claimed to be from Prudential, asked if I knew about the new endowment plan, then requested a convenient time for an appointment with an agent.
Looks like a classic scam call – definitely not worth answering.
Use the official website/app number; avoid calling back the unknown number; check in‑app messages.
No. Portability/VoIP make 6/8/9 ranges and 1800 patterns unreliable as proof of origin.
Delivery updates, bank callbacks, 2FA codes; robocalls, parcel/account phishing, scripted sales.
Caller type, purpose, date/time, and cues that guided your decision.
