Tonight, I was singing karaoke outside when my phone rang. The call lasted for a moment and then disconnected. The number was 1892848xxxx.
I checked it and found it to be an unfamiliar number, so I sent a text message back with a "?".
A little while later, I received a reply:

"I am a fraudulent call. If I disturbed you, I apologize."
Good grief! This is too high-quality! Better than government officials. My curiosity immediately rose, and I quickly dialed the number back.
It rang three times before the other party answered. He had a Central Plains accent and asked who I was. I said that you just called me and hung up right away. He said, "Oh, I'm here to scam money. Sorry, my apologies..." I replied, "No problem. I'm a reporter from Nanfang Weekly. I'm currently working on a special report about telecom fraud and online obscene information. Can I interview you?" He stammered for a long time. I said, "I'll send you a message later..."
After a few minutes, I sent him a message:
November 28, 2009, 22:22:08
"Hello, I am xxx, a reporter from Nanfang Weekly. I would like to conduct an interview on the topic of telecom fraud. I will carefully protect your personal privacy. If it's convenient for you, I will call you next week."
Not long after, a reply came:

"No, there are too many scammers now."
