Hmm... part 9


Was on the way to work today. I had received a call where the number started with a "+86". China phonecall at 8+am?!

Me: Hullo...

Female: Wei... (in Mandarin) Can you speak Mandarin?

Me recognising the PRC accent: (in Mandarin). Yes, wassup?

Female: I'm calling from XXX Hotel from Macau. We are having our anniversary celebration on next Tuesday 4 September. We'll like to invite you to come to the Plaza outside our hotel for the celebration party.

Me: You know you are calling a Singapore number right?

Female telemarketer who is giving extremely dodgy vibes: You are one of the very few being selected so we'll like invite you down this one-in-a-lifetime celebration... (started rambling a whole list of things)

Me: I'm not interested.

Female: Erm, er... okay.

Me: Bye.


I should have asked if it includes free flight and accomodation to Macau even though the whole scam stinks like David Hasslehoff's music career. Fuck...
