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.

For Christians or supporters of God only. Satanists may not like this. sweatdrop

SATAN'S MEETING: (Read even if you're busy)
Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said,
"We can't keep Christians from going to church."
"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with their saviour."
"Once they gain that connection with Jesus, our power over them is broken."
"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners, BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.."
"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their Saviour and maintaining that vital connection throughout their day!"
"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable schemes to occupy their minds," he answered.
"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work 6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty lifestyles."
"Keep them from spending time with their children..."
"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from the pressures of work!"
"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."
"Entice them to play the radio or cassette player whenever they drive." To keep the TV, VCR, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see to it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music constantly."
"This will jam their minds and break that union with Christ."
"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."
"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."
"Invade their driving moments with billboards."
"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services and false hopes.."
"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll become dissatisfied with their wives. "
"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."
"Give them headaches too! "
"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to look elsewhere."
"That will fragment their families quickly!"
"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the real meaning of Christmas."
"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about his resurrection and power over sin and death."
"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."
"Have them return from their recreation exhausted..."
"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on God's creation. Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies instead."
"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences. "
"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek power from Jesus."
"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health and family for the good of the cause."
"It will work!"
"It will work!"
It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere to get busier and more rushed, going here and there.
Having little time for their God or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of Jesus to change lives.

I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?

PINOYS ONLY! You may not be able to understand some if you're not. xp


To all the kids born on 1950's, 60' s, 70's and early 80's !!

First, some of us survived being born to mothers who did not have an OB-Gyne and drank San Miguel Beer while they carried us.

While pregnant, they took cold or cough medicine, a te isaw, and didn't worry about diabetes

Then after all that trauma, our baby cribs were made of hard wood covered with lead-based paints, pati na yung walker natin, matigas na kahoy din at wala pang gulong.

We had no soft cushy cribs that play music, no disposable diapers (lampin lang), and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads , sometimes wala pang preno yung bisikleta.

As children, we would ride in hot un-airconditioned buses with wooden seats (yung JD bus na pula), or cars with no airconditioning & no seat belts (ngayon lahat may aircon na)

Riding on the back of a carabao on a breezy summer day was considered a treat. (ngayon hindi na nakakakita ng kalabaw ang mga bata)

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle purchased from 711 ( minsan straight from the faucet or poso)

We shared one soft drink bottle with four of our friends, and NO ONE actually died from this. Or contacted hepatitis.

We ate rice with star margarine, drank raw eggs straight from the shell, and drank sofdrinks with real sugar in it (hindi diet coke), but we weren't sick or overweight kasi nga......

WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

We would leave home in the morning and play all day, and get back when the streetlights came on. Sarap mag patintero, tumbang preso , habulan at taguan.

No one was able to reach us all day ( di uso ang cellphone , walang beepers ) . And yes, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our wooden trolleys (yung bearing ang gulong) or plywood slides out of scraps and then ride down the street , only to find out we forgot the brakes! After hitting the sidewalk or falling into a canal (seweage channel) a few times, we learned to solve the problem ourselves with our bare & dirty hands .

We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 100 channels on cable, no DVD movies, no surround stereo, no IPOD's, no cell phones, no computers, no Internet, no chat rooms, and no Friendsters....... ...WE HAD REAL FRIENDS and we went outside to actually talk and play with them!

We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no stupid lawsuits from these accidents. The only rubbing we get is from our friends with the words..masakit ba ? pero pag galit yung kalaro mo,,,,ang sasabihin sa iyo..beh buti nga !

We played marbles (jolens) in the dirt , washed our hands just a little and ate dirty ice cream & fish balls. we were not afraid of getting germs in our stomachs.

We had to live with homemade guns " gawa sa kahoy, tinali ng rubberband , sumpit , tirador at kung ano ano pa na puedeng makasakitan..pero masaya pa rin ang lahat.

We made up games with sticks ( syatong ), and cans ( tumbang preso )and although we were told they were dangerous, wala naman tayong binulag o napatay.paminsan minsan may nabubukulan lang.

We walked, rode bikes, or took tricycles to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them to jump out the window!

Mini basketball teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't pass had to learn to deal with the disappointment. Wala yang mga childhood depression at damaged self esteem ek-ek na yan. Ang pikon, talo.

Ang magulang ay nandoon lang para tignan kung ayos lang ang mga bata, hindi para makialam at makipag-away sa ibang parents.

That generation of ours has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers, creative thinkers and successful professionals ever! They are the CEO's, Engineers, Doctors and Military Generals of today.

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had failure, success, and responsibility. We learned from our mistakes the hard way.


You might want to share this with others who've had the luck to grow up as real kids. We were lucky indeed.

And if you like, forward it to your kids too, so they will know how brave their parents were.

It kind of makes you wanna go out and climb a tree, doesn't it?
