Nowadays I use crass vulgarities on the scammer. Male or female all at the receiving end of my tirade.
When I have time. I will play along and act the part of a potential victim. Sometimes my name given to them is Chow Lan Cheow or Fark You Dead and these tiongs wouldn’t know the difference.
When they ask for my ic number than I fcuk them upside down before hanging up

Sometime in July, the woman received a call from a scammer who claimed to be from Standard Chartered bank. She was informed that unauthorised transactions had been made on her Standard Chartered credit card. She was then referred to an “officer” purportedly from the Monetary Authority of Singapore for her to seek assistance. After speaking to the “officer” over the phone, the victim was told that her credit card had been compromised and the magnetic strip on her card could be fixed only if payment was made.
The “officer” asked her to sell her investment funds and to transfer more than $213,000 to various accounts held with other banks between July 26 and 29. The victim complied, and was then told by the “officer” to sell her investments worth $500,000 so that the details on the magnetic strip could be changed.

Why not make all transfers traceable?
Especially transfers overseas should require more verification.
For every case they are able to prevent there are 10 cases that scammer succeed. ...unless propepr checks and precautions are put into the system.

Online transfer very unsafe but Banks still support it. Online transitions hard to trace due to limited Due diligence.
