- *SCAM ALERT** - FAKE NEWS? OK guys, this happened to me and let this be a lesson to all.
So it all started on Sunday. I recieved a series of calls from an unknown number via WhatsApp calls, as usual I did not answer it. Then the person messaged me and said that his name is "Sky" and he has "by mistake" PayNow me ($500) and asked me to reply him. So as some of you may know, the banks now only send emails for PayNow transactions. Upon checking my emails and bank account, I indeed saw the amount.
OK, THIS IS WHERE I MAKE THE MISTAKE. I called the person back and offered to PayNow back to him as he sounded really lost and panicky. He then gave me a OCBC account number to transfer the amount back which I did without thinking much. He also acknowledged that he has gotten the money back and thanked me.
Then suddenly yesterday evening, I received his calls again. He asked if I have went to the police to report the incident as his account is now frozen and he is being investigated. It then occurred to me that I must have been scammed!!!
What followed was a series of threats via different WhatsApp numbers on my family and demanded I pay him at least $1000 for the troubles (I thought account frozen?!!) else he will take actions against me. Splash paint lah, lock my gates lah, disturb my family lah.... And here is the scary part, I do not know how but he managed to obtain some of my personal information about my family and where I stay.
OK... So I have since reported the case to the police and have been told it is a scam by some money lending syndicate.
Advice from the police:
1. If such unknown transactions happened, DO NOT transfer the money back, report straight to the police.
2. DO NOT give in to their threats and start giving them any money, report straight to the police.
3. DO NOT reply or answer any of their follow up calls or messages, simply block and ignore them, report straight to the police.
So to all my friends and family out there if you encounter anyone who claims that I owe them money or I make you my guarantor it is a SCAM!!
*What is the difference between an Ordinary Thief (OT) and a Political Thief (PT)?* ..
1.The *Ordinary Thief* steals your money, bag, watch, gold chain etc. But, The *Political Thief* steals your future, career, education, health and business!
2. The hilarious part is: .. The *Ordinary Thief* will choose whom to rob. But, you yourself choose the *Political Thief* to rob you.
3. The most ironic one: .. Police will chase and nab the *Ordinary Thief.* But, Police will look after and protect the *Political Thief!* That’s the travesty and irony of our current society! And, we blindly say we are not blind!
Hi everyone, I saw comments from people who had already got their loan from Anderson Loan Finance. Honestly, I thought it was a scam, and then I decided to make a request based on their recommendations. A few days ago, I confirmed in my personal bank account amounting to 9,000 euros, which I asked for business. This is really good news and I am so happy that I advise all those who need a real loan and who are sure to reimburse to apply through their email (text or call) +1 315-329-6320 There are sincere loan lenders!
They are able to thank you for your loan.

And lastly, I really am very suay this year.
One president was not voted in.
ReplyDeleteNeighbor's Prime Minister was not voted in. Both went in by back door.
I am single but will not buy a private property now. I can imagine the nightmare if I were to add in my spouse's name in future!
