Ignore only, too many spam.
I suspect some bank selling the data, since i stop using pbank, i get less spam. I guess This post has been edited by RallyNight: Jan 3 2022, 10:39 AM |

QUOTE(arkana @ Jan 3 2022, 10:07 AM) Hello, Same with me. shit. DAILYRecently I have been receiving daily calls from UK number prefix (+447xxxxx) and Hong Kong Prefix (+852xxxxx) on daily basis. This call usually will come in the evening from 6pm onwards to 11pm without failed daily. They will call you at least 2 to 3 times continuously before they stop calling. I did not pick up any of the call as i suspect is a scam call or spam call and it is really annoying to receive the call daily. I have blocked all these number that i receive but it doesn't help cuz it will use another set of new number to call in. Just want to check did anybody recently receive overseas calls particularly from UK (+44) and HKG (+852) particularly from Maxis line and did you guys answer any of those calls? Appreciate your feedback on the matter if you have encounter this issue. Thank you in advance for the feedback.  |

me also received such calls... damn annoying!
never fail calling me everyday. Me just spoke malay or chinese to them if got time play with them. If they are such a good investment company, no need cold calls, ppl will call them and give them money  Can't ban those number as i might get call from those countries as well  This post has been edited by Iceman74: Jan 7 2022, 05:29 PM |

If Hong Kong / UK mebbe it's forex trading marketing department? I only receive calls from African countries and recently Papua new guinea. They call you 5 second and hang up. So if I call them back, I get charged like $3/min. I just use an app to block all calls from the African countries

Standard chartered outsource their personal loan marketing to the company. Company gives me cold call list of names and contact numbers. Then they instructed me if someone asked me how I get his number, say because he filled up lucky draw or survey forms etc |

I think you just need to use a blocking app, after about 1 week of using the blocking app, they stopped calling. The blocking app need to be fast one, it reject the call without ringing. If you let the call ring once, they still think there is chance, and the software will keep trying the other day again.
