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.
I want to verify whether this number is officially registered with Singtel or if it belongs to a scammer.
Very untrustworthy vibe; I’d avoid this number.
Fraud alert: they asked to approve a POSB credit card over $4K, yet I don’t have a POSB card. Stay cautious.
Potential scam call detected.
The caller introduced herself as Emma and avoided answering my question about the call’s purpose, even after I pressed further, so I blocked her.
A quick Google shows it could be an ICA survey call, y'know?
Got a generic unwanted call from this number. Nothing special, just another nuisance.
Another generic spam attempt, no real content.
The call felt untrustworthy, probably a scam.
Another one of those shady calls that left me uneasy.
Seems like spam; avoid picking up.
Another junk call.
I've encountered a seventh distinct number linked to them.
The call claimed to be about financial services but sounded off. I didn't proceed and reported it.
The call dropped within a second.
Classified as UOB bank spam; safe to disregard.
Got a missed call, never returned it, no clue who it was, guess what.
Seems like it was related to insurance.
They dialed, let it ring once, then hung up; this has happened five times already.
Got an unexpected sales pitch; seemed like a generic advertising call.
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.
