    林洁: 你好,你好像发错了电话。 我不是林医生。(Lín jié: Nǐ hǎo, nǐ hǎoxiàng fā cuòle diànhuà. Wǒ bùshì lín yīshēng.) Hello. You seem to have contacted the wrong number. I am not Dr. Lin.

    骗子: 谢谢你,我去查看一下号码,祝你周末愉快.(Xièxiè nǐ, wǒ qù chákàn yīxià hàomǎ, zhù nǐ zhōumò yúkuài.) Thank you. I will check the number. Hope you have a good weekend.

    No worries. I need to go – about to head out with my family for dinner. I hope you’re able to find Dr. Lin.

    骗子: 好的,祝你玩得愉快,你有Whats App吗?我加你,以后有空互相学习和交流. (Hǎo de zhù nǐ wán de yúkuài, nǐ yǒu Whats App wǒ jiā nǐ, yǐhòu yǒu kòng hù xiàng xuéxí hé jiāoliú) Okay, Have a good time. If you have Whats App, I will add you. Whenever we’re free later on, we can learn from each other and chat.
