Scold for getting in contact (8)
I believe the answer is:
reproach
'scold' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'for getting in contact' is the wordplay.
'for' becomes 'pro' (I've seen this before).
'getting in' indicates putting letters inside.
'contact' becomes 'reach' ('reach' can be a synonym of 'contact'**).
'pro' inserted within 'reach' is 'REPROACH'.
(Other definitions for reproach that I've seen before include "Rebuke or expression of disappointment" , "Admonition" , "Express disapproval to (someone)" , "Chide" , "Rebuke or criticism" .)
