Kidnap Scam

I cannot stop myself from sharing this with all of you.

Its all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from Maxis and he asked me to shutdown my phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place. As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question and shutdown my cell phone.

After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly turned on my cell phone and I received several calls from my family members and the others were from the number that had called me earlier - 3954380.

I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they had received a call from someone claiming that they had me with them and asking for money to let me free. The call was so real and my parents even heard 'my voice' crying out loud asking for help. My parent was at the bank waiting for next call to proceed for money transfer. I told my parents that I am safe and asked them to lodge a police report.

Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to shutdown my cell phone for another 1 hour which I refused to do and hung up. They keep calling my cell phone until the battery had run down. I myself lodged a police report and I was informed by the officer that there were many such scams reported. MOST of the cases reported that the victim had already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get back the money.

Be careful as this kind of scam might happened to any of us!!! Those guys are so professional and very convincing during calls. If you are asked to shut down your cell phone for updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND! Your family or friends might receive the same call.

Be Safe and Stay Alert!

Crime against woman

KUALA LUMPUR :Police have mounted an inter-state manhunt for a notorious gang which robbed a couple before raping their eight-year-old daughter in their Kepong home on Monday. They believe the same gang is also behind Tuesday's incident where a 31-year-old housewife was gang raped by five men in front of her husband at a house in Kelana Jaya after relieving them off RM30,000 in cash and valuables. In the first incident on Monday, three knife-wielding men broke into house in Bukit Maluri, Kepong, at 2.30am and held up the family. The robbers, who entered from the back door, then threatened the couple and their three children before tying them and ransacking the house.

Several minutes later, two of the robbers took the couple's eldest daughter to a room and allegedly raped her.. The gang then fled after 40 minutes with about RM5,000 in cash and valuables.

City police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Meor Chek Hussin Mahayuddin said police had also beefed-up patrols in the area. They are liaising with their counterparts in Negri Sembilan where the gang is believed to be also operating.

Here is the true story.
There is a girl was raped and murdered. She went back to work on a public holiday with another girl, the boyfriend even packed lunch for them and later when the girls wanted to go home, the car couldn't start and the other girl's boyfriend who came to pick her up didn't wait because the girl told them to go off first and there was a security guard helping her. She didn't come home that night and they found her body in a burnt car abandoned in a rubber estate in Dengkil on the 3rd day.
The guard reported to work and acted normal during the police investigation but when the police questioned him again, he remembered the color of her clothes in detail and they noticed that the hair on his hands were seared although there was no burnt marks. He finally admitted that he is the one that killing her. There was no cover up but the case was not publish in the newspapers.

Don't ever trust the security guards.
Be sure to keep the office door lock. Hey girls, be forewarned and please be doubly, even triply cautious whenever there is a need to stay back late at work. If at all possible, leave the plant/company early when there are still people around. Better yet, if there is still work that must absolutely be completed by that day, bring it home!
Just heard about a rape case at a MNC(multinational company) which just happened sometimes back last year. The victim is married with kids, she worked till 11.00 pm. Security guard raped her in the toilet. She managed to escape and drove herself to the hospital.

Next day, the other employees was shocked to see the condition of the toilet.. Blood and her hair everywhere, and all the brooms and mops were broken. The police later came and arrested the security guard, who still reported for work the next day. However, they manage to cover it up, not even come up in the newspaper or any media.
I can't imagine how such cases have been covered up in Malaysia . It's because they are MNC. (This is a sad reality)

Please girls, don't put your life in danger by working late or being negligent. You can never be too careful nowadays. Malaysiaranks number 2 in crime against woman.
Please send this to all your female friends

My extra advice: Guys, please tell your mom, your sister, your wife, your girlfriends and all your female friends around you too!

Money Trick

This afternoon (14/04/2009), while waiting for my husband in front of the bank ( MBB, Jalan Taiping, Klang), I saw a Malay lady bending down to throw some RM1.00 notes behind the tyre of a car parked in front of mine.

After throwing the notes, she knocked the car's window to tell him that he has dropped some money. Right after that, a man came knocking on my window, also telling me that I have dropped something.

Fortunately, I was not conned by them because I have witnessed what that Malay lady was doing. They came in a group of 4 (1 lady and 3 guys whom all look like foreigners; like the Arabian/ Moroccan type).They will rob you once you open your car door to check.

Please pass this email to all your friends, relatives and colleagues to warn them about these people even if you are not from Klang.

Old Scam (but worth reading)

Regardless you know me or not, please do read on as it will help you beaware of the going on scam and also please forward it to your friends, family, relative and everyone that you know. I know you might say " How stupid is she to fall on such trap" BUT believe me, I had once thought of the victims like that and when I ended up in that situation, I FALLED FOR IT. All my friends could not believe it when they heard that I had been tricked to purchase stuff that I do not need at the price of RM 3894 because they know that even if I were to spend RM 50, I would think about it for a long time. You can continue to laugh at me with all you might but PLEASE PLEASE remember the company name and product that I will be stating below.

Below are my experience on how everything happened.

On the 28th November 2005, after work at 7 pm, I went home as usual. During the journey I stopped at an Esso Petrol Station around 1-2 kilometres from my house. Everything was as usual until one young gal come up to me and seek my help to open up one of her coupon in a sealed envelope and she would gain RM1 for that. Thinking that no harm doing that and out of sympathy, I opened it. The next thing was, the salesgirl was jumping up and down in front of me and kept congratulating me. I was blurred and was then told that I am get one of the 50 big prizes coupon and stand a VERY HUGE chance in winning either a Perdana (1), a Kancil (10), a massagin chair (2), a plasma TV or a Jaguh motorcycle.

AT that time, I KNOW it is some kind of scam and I wanted to go off. However, the salesgirl kept on talking and convincing me. Then another of her guy colleague approached us and the surprise reaction they gave me as soon as they see the coupon was so real. Then both of them started to persuade me again. After a while another guy came claiming to be their supervisor and he gave the same reaction. They asked me to go to their office to see their manager, as the manager need proof that I had opened the coupon. I was very reluctant still and I said I want to go home as my house is very near to seek a second opinion. But they kept on talking and giving all the reasons and scenarios and all kinds of thing to keep me from going home or seeking second opinion. Even say if I win the car the salesgirl would get RM1000 out of it and she would be able to use the money for her sturdy. Okay, let's cut the story. So I ended up in their office and even more people were talking, showing you all those newspaper cuttings on people winning, showing their license to you, telling you that their product is from JAPAN (actually it is from CHINA) and they do everything to gain your trust and everything went on so fast and I ended up signing my credit card with RM 3894. Of course they will give u product and everything and the result of opening the coupon was a massage chair. At that time I felt everything was fine.

I went home with those product, gave it to my family to do whatever they want. Then out of sudden I realised something was very wrong. I went online and search for the product name and instantly I got a blog whereby there are many comments on THIS SCAM~!! And of the same product and company. I felt so stupid and irritated with myself. Luckily I found a website that teach me what to do (below site).

Immediately the next day, I went to file a Consumeer Tribunal against that company to have my money back and made a complaint at the Complain Department against that company. AND TO MY SURPRISE, they already knew about it. I do not even need to mention further, all I need is to tell them the product name and they already know how they work without me even telling further. In addition to that, at the tribunal I met another girl whom also falled for this trap and guess what IT IS THE SAME COMPANY. After a small talk with her….IT IS THE SAME TACTIC THEY HAD USED. Gaining your sympathy, targeting people that are alone, after work, don't event give you a minute to think, they seems to be able to read your mind (what are you thinking, they will know) and etc. Later after settling the tribunal filing, I went back to the company and to my horror, there is another guy being tricked as I saw him moving the massaging chair and other stuff into his van. So I know I got to do something to tell everyone about this.

Please refer to this website http://tehtarik.blogdrive.com/comments?id=7 for comment of other people that had the same awful experience as me.

Their product is Zunishu/Diverse and they have company in penang, perak, kl, seremban, selangor, terengganu and god knows where else. They have various company name such as HomeSonic, CitiSonic, Top-Ed Marketing (refer to the website you'll know more), Techligent SDN. BHD. They will also lure you into believing by saying that their manager is using SLK, there is no reason to cheat on you. The manager's SLK that I had encountered plat number is PGA 90.

To those staying around old klang road, their office is at KUCHAI BUSINESS CENTRE. Their full adrress had been stated in the website. Please take precaution.

If you think you are smart, they are even people smarter and trickier than you. Now I am waiting for the hearing to try to get back the money. During this period I do not want anyone to fall into their scams again. Please forward this around.

帮忙提款

今天经过一栋大楼门口，门口有一提款机。有一个老伯，一直看著我走过他身边，突然叫住我。他说他不识字，拿一张提款卡要我帮他在大楼门口的自动提款机取钱。我回答我无法帮你取，叫警卫帮你。结果，他就回答我说不用了, 继续找其他路人帮他取钱。朋友们要记住---取款机可是有摄影机耶。万一他说我抢劫或是偷他的提款卡，甚至他的卡片是偷来的，帮他领钱会在提款机留下影像，绝对会让你百口莫辩！我会警惕!

是因为已有同事上当，目前仍官司缠身。显然这是诈骗集团在找替身了! 请力传出去~~~
骗案真是层出不穷,一不小心就会踏入陷阱,真是令人防不胜防！提醒各位朋友在外多小心！

轻快铁站

輕快鐵孟沙站附近遇襲頭部受傷星洲日報‧2010.01.11
（吉隆坡）電子報一名女助編於週日（1月10日）晚上下班途中，在輕快鐵孟沙站附近遇襲頭部受傷，她緊抱手提袋讓匪徒空手而逃。這起企圖劫案於週日傍晚7時許發生，據瞭解，事主林貴琴（29歲）下班後，從報社步行往附近的輕快鐵站，準備乘搭輕快鐵返到靈市幸福花園的住家。當她行至馬來亞銀行旁時，突然遭人從後襲擊後腦。她在遇襲後，緊緊抱住手中的手提袋，讓企圖搶劫她的匪徒無從下手，倉促逃離現場。公眾呼叫救護車把她送到馬大醫藥中心救治。

青年輕快鐵站被劫殺星洲日報‧2010.01.10
（吉隆坡）這起劫殺案發生在安邦路附近的尼巴路。死者是在遮拉迪路輕快鐵站，步行前往尼巴路韓國駐馬大使館附近取車途中出事。他與在安邦路一家保險公司擔任電腦軟件工程師的大哥陳政權，相約好下班後各自到泊車的地點會合，以便一同開車回斯里鵝嘜住家，卻在途中遇刺。

大家看了以上报导，会不会觉得有个共同点？连续两天里，轻快铁站发生了两宗罪案。前一宗的女受害者頭部受傷，后一宗就不治身亡。这两起看似没联系的个案，其实拥有三个共同点：
1。在輕快鐵，停车场附近
2。单独一人
3。身上带有包包
如果以上三个条件同时出现，也就代表你的处境很危险。所以要提醒大家了。。。别单独在輕快鐵附近步行，如果非要单独，要时时提高警惕后面或身旁的陌生人。还有，最好不要带包包。
