BEWARE OF PHONE CALLS FROM HK, TAIWAN, M'SIA OR CHINA
-
I was being called by a HONG KONG ELECTRON INTERNATIONAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY LIMITED COMPANY by a female caller to do a survey 2-3wks ago. Asking for my chinese name characters. They said that they are collecting more customers info fr Sg & Msia in order to open their new markets here. They are dealing with home appliances and mobile phones. Still got website: www.hkyhe.com
A wk later, they called again to invite me to their exhibitions in JB. Still give me a Entry Pass ID: AK5058 in order to identify me. But I din turn up.
Next day, called me again & asked me why i din turn up. I replied I cant. Then she checked my chinese name characters and AK5058, congrated me that I won their 2nd prize worth CASH S$200,000/-. I asked them not true la, they said tht these are sponsored by 30 over companies.....
At 1st I dun believe, but they keep on convince me. Ask me to provide my Bank A/c no for them to bank in.
Then their captain LIU HUIMIN called, adv me on hw to get the money. she said i need to pay taxes of S$30,000/- to their HK government & a legal fees of S$5280/-. But taxes can be paid later while the legal fees need to be paid 1st in order to get the prize.
Another guy called WANG ZHICHENG told me to bank into this a/c:
MOHD ZAIDI BIN ABDULLAN
1514-4506-8785
MAYBANK
I was so stupid & I went to pay it.
Then they asked another guy from HK Turf Club called ZHANG JIE to call me to verify my details. waited for an hr, he called me & claimed tht these prizes only entitled to their HK club members which costs S$25,000/- each. I told them I'm not member, then he said he had told his boss & allowed me to pay a temporary membership of S$10,000/- so to get the prizes.
I ALREADY REPORT IT TO POLICE, I KNOW ITS TOO LATE FOR ME TO GET BACK MY MONEY BUT I STILL WANT TO LET ALL PPL KNOWS....
THIS IS A SCAM, MONEY CHEATERS, CON-CASE. SO FRENZ, PLS BEWARE IF U GOT ANY THESE TYPES OF PHONE CALLS.
RECENTLY, THERE'S ALOT OF SIMILAR CASES LIKE KIDNAPPING ASKING FOR RANSOM, WINNING LOTTERY ETC....
PLS DUN BE LIKE ME.
PLS CHECK WITH ANY POLICE, LAWYERS TO UNDERSTAND MORE. -

Tell them to deduct from the prize money whatever charges or taxes and send you the lesser amount

[b]SPIN THEM ARD BA!! HAHA... ALL THESE PPL REALLY SUCKS!!!!![/b]
If they call again, I sound so excited and thank them profusely.... and later tell them I already sent the money ect... tell them I sent to the wrong bank account and can they please try to get it from the other account ect ect...
If they ask me to meet them, I will tell them I don't know the location in JB, ask them to wait for me at a familiar location and when they call, tell them I am lost somewhere and can they please come and pick me up from the other location... ect ect... -

*pat pat* con is hard to take but ... the sooner you forget about it, the better it is for you...

its your bloody greed that got the better of you. Use your brains, there are so many people in China and Hong kong, why would they want to pick up your number and call you to say you won?
Moreover, they are a Chinese company, why are they using a Malaysian bank account? All these would have sounded fishy..... -
i told them to do so... but they said cant cos this is a huge sum so involved legals.....etc!!!Originally posted by maggot:Tell them to deduct from the prize money whatever charges or taxes and send you the lesser amount
