Fraud Tactics

NEW TACTICS

Someone shared the following cases :

(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine.
There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me.
He said he didn't know how to read, so he gave me his
ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money from the
ATM machine. I answerd 'NO!! If you need help, ask the
security to help you.' Then he said
'nevermind...' and continued to find other people
to help him...

REMEMBER : ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will
later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card.
Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be
careful of these tactics.

(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you
find that your neighbours still have lights. So you go out
of your house to check the
Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be
pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is
when you will be robbed and injured.

REMEMBER : Even though your electricity suddenly goes off,
DO NOT open your door immediately. Look around to see if
there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.

(3) This is another incident. You may have heard it before,
it is about a lady who she saw a kid crying by the roadside.
When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and
wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper
with his house address. So she took him home. But when she
rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when
she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.

REMEMBER : Being such a compassionate and helpful person
might not be a good thing these days. Pass this on and
girls, please be careful..
DON'T BE TOO KIND!!

(4) One day, there was an old lady outside my house holding
2 packets of sweets. At first I thought she was our
neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a
gift. But then when she spoke, I can realised that she was
foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking
about. I guessed she must be asking for money.I sensed there
was
something wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored
her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone
else down the road.

(5) I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind
me, there was an old lady. She asked me whether I was able
to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with
her machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The
small girl was squeezing infront of me. I thought she was
just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her
hand at the tray of the ATM machine where the money comes
out, ready to take away my money. I sensed something wrong
and immediately pushed her away. Later I realised that the
small girl and the old lady worked together. She was trying
to steal my money while the old lady was trying to distract
my attention by asking me questions!

REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine
and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you!

(6) My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One
afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his
motorcycle had no more petrol and the petrol station was too
far for him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents
for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will
pay RM2 for the bottle. So my mum took one coke bottle for
him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it
was a RM 100 note. He told my mum he had no small change and
asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was
smart. She just told him to take it for free.

REMEMBER : obviously that note is fake!! Who would want to
pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle!! It's very OBVIOUS
that that stranger is a trickster.


(7) This happened in Bali . A newly married couple were
having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both are in the
changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband
was very anxious and went around to find her. He asked the
hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife
was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited
for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the
police. 3 weeks passed and there was still no news about his
missing wife. So he went back and was very dissapointed and
sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to watch a
'FREAK SHOW' in an old house. He saw a dirty and
rusty metal cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her
body including the face was full of scars. When he had a
closer look at her face, he was shocked to find that it was
her missing wife put there as a means for begging.

(8) This happened in Shanghai . A few years ago, a lady
reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in
the shopping complex. But after 5 years, one of her friends
found her cousin sister begging at the road side one of the
streets in Bangkok , Thailand . The worst thing is that her
cousin sister has no more limbs and her body was tied to a
lamp post with a shackle (metal chain).

(9) Let's just shorten this story. DO NOT open your
house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING!! It
might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert to this
trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or
murderer using the recording of a baby crying to attract
your attention. This normally happens at night and when you
are alone in the house.

(10) I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her
friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2
friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is the Shenzhen
counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people
there. It's also near to the ShenZhen train station and
Hong Kong 's Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the
shpping centre while A and B waited outside. After waiting
for a long, time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet
to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside.
Both were scared and they called C's phone. There was no
reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them
whether they had seen anyboby suspicious going into the
toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to
bring a life person out of the toilet without them
noticing!. Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a
trolley in, and then coming out. The police told them that
was not the 1st time such a thing happened. The police
suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking
women in the the toilet of shopping complexes. They use
cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.

REMEMBER : please be careful when using the toilet. Donot
go to the wash room or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a
partner with you.
