Phishing Scam Impersonation Scam
I received a phone call from a man claiming to be from singtel support on 10th august 2020 at 1.38pm. he told me that something is wrong with my internet connection and there are many people from overseas are using my internet. by the way, I cannot really understand him due to his strong indian accent. he sounded like an indian national.

I felt that the call was very suspicious, hence, I asked him for his full name. He said Mike Ambray. he also give me his email address and some license number. i told him that i cannot trust him and i will call singtel to verify first.

But he was very insistent that he could show me through the computer. i am curious how he is able to show me. i went to my computer and he instructed me to key windows and r keys together. then type cmd into the run app resulting in black window appearing. but i stopped there and said i will call singtel first. He became agitated and kept insisting that just one more step. i hang up the phone and call the police hot line and was told this is a scam call.
the phone number that appeared on the caller id was a fake number. when i tried calling back, the voice message said that this number is not in use.

I hope that by sharing this story, you will be wary and careful and not fall into the scam.
