Handphone shut down scam - pls read

This email was sent to me by a friend.Thought I would share it. Better to be safe then sorry.


CLEVER TRICK. BY GETTING YOU TO SHUT DOWN YOUR MOBILE , YOUR WORRIED
FAMILY MEMBERS WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CONTACT YOU TO VERIFY YOUR SAFETY!

Just be careful.

Its all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from M1 or Singtel or Starhub 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 him 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 - 93954380.

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!

Extortion bid by PRC Girl

received this from email... be careful...




Dear All, beware of these trouble makers:



To Share:



My friend is a retired businessman in his early 60 and what he encountered last Saturday in a high end dining/shopping area could also happen to anyone of us.

My friend accompanies his wife to a bank in Holland Village to do some banking transaction.
while his wife was being served by the personal banking executive, he decided to go and do some window-shopping around the area.

While admiring the display suddenly, out of nowhere, a young about 20+ girl pushes him aside and shouted at him, accusing my friend was molesting her. She then asked my friend to compensate (pay) her for her "ordeal" - lost of face.

My friend being a gentleman was stunned and lost of word for a moment because he really never does any thing to her. He just stood there and doesn't know what to do. His mind went blank.

Luckily, a Caucasian man nearby saw all that and tells the PRC girl to stop her nuisance (unsure
whether she understand English) and take out his mobile and say he wanted to call the police. The PRC girl quickly walked away joining the other shoppers.

So my male friends, If you ever become one of the victim, pls stay calm. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT start arguing or reasoning with her. If you started trying to reason with her, then you had fallen into her trap. In general, people will most likely sympathise and believe a female as victim. You will ended up with paying her as demanded by her.

Just take out your mobile or ask someone (if you had no mobile) to call the police, let the law enforcement authority deal with her. For sure, all this PRC girls dare not face the justice of the law cos most of them are overstayers.

Better still, if you witness such incident, be sure to stand up and fight for the justice of such poor men. Ladies who come forward will carry even more weight.

TOGETHER WE CAN RID OUR SOCIETY OF THESE SCOURGES.
