Scammers have many tactics up their sleeves these days, but this one that Mediacorp actor Nick Teo encountered takes feistiness to a whole new level.

Nick, who plays a mysterious stalker in new Ch 8 drama Highway To Somewhere, recently recalled a pretty scary encounter with a scammer.

The 36-year-old had received a call from a stranger asking if he was using a particular telco service and he replied "Yes" without giving much thought.
