NEW FRAUD CASES
Someone shares the following cases :
(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was
an old man looking at me. Suddenly 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
moneyfrom 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 frauds.
(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. Bu t 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 th e 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 realised that
she was a 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 out that she
and an accomplice had rob bed 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 in front of me. I thought
she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her hand at
the hole of my ATM machine where the money comes out, ready to take
away my money. I sensed something wrong and immediately pushes 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.20He
said he will pay 2 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 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 an
empty c oke bottle!! It's very OBVIOUS that the 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 finding
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.
( cool This happened in Shanghai . A few yeas ago, a lady reported to the
police that her cousin's sister was missing in the shopping complex. But
after 5years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the
road side in one of the streets in Bangkok , Thailand . The worst thing is
that her cousin's sister has no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp
post with a shackle (metal chain).< br>
(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 especially 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
there. Both were scared and they called C's phone.. There was no o ne
answere. So they reported it 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 live 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 a20thing
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. Do not go to the
washroom or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a partner with you.
