This song was written and produced as the media for making public awareness of call center gangs aiming at building knowledge and understandings of people about threats from the acts of call center gangs. The song has its lyrics that is catchy for the public to be aware of the criminals and able to protect themselves from being the victims of the swindlers.

       At present, the threats from call center gangs claiming to be officers and deceiving people to make financial transactions cause numerous victims. The swindlers use social media to deceive people and make phone calls to threaten the victims to be frightened and scared. Such problem causes widespread damage to the public. The DSI had received a great amount of the complaints. Therefore, the DSI opened its channel to receive information about crime commission via the DSI Hotline 1202 for crime watches. Initially, people can protect themselves. If there is a contact from the swindlers, people must ask for their contact information and do not make any financial transaction, and then report the case to the local inquiry official in their living areas for use as the clue to prosecute the criminals. Besides, the public can also notify such information to the DSI via its Hotline 1202 or filing the complaint via the website of the DSI for investigations to track down the criminals by the DSI. In the case that the public is the victims who already made money transfer, the public have to immediately report the case to the inquiry officials of the police station where the incident took place, then contact the destined bank receiving transferred money for financial tracking.
