possible fraud case?
-
my friend he got called by a lady, he was told that he had won a 3rd prize in a lucky draw for some technology company based in HK. the 1st price is porsce
2nd is 2 cars, 3rd price is USD50000. .
then she asked him to go down to dunno what place to collect the prize money within 30mins, but my fren said he can't make it. then my fren nv bothered anymore. but this girl called again and said that his prize money was retained by their own lawyer or something. so he muz pay a fee of SGD3800 so that he can claim his prize money.
so my fren really gong gong and go and pay them. sommore is to a posb savings acc type de... nb so obvious liao... and sommore they say that HSBC from HK branch will transfer the money to him. luckily he told me and i faster ask him to withhold the payment from the bank. so now he still don't know if it's real or fake but he ask me to call up the bank in hk to check out. so i asked him to get the bank branch name in HK but he said that guy, supposedly some sorta finance manager there, said he not sure how to say the branch name in english. wtf, dunno english how to work in a bank, HK sommore leh.
my fren really think he has a chance of winning USD50000 and this thing may not be a scam. it's obvious lor... i mean other than toto sg where got so big jackpot one?
so any of u guys or know of anybody kana similar scheme b4? -
anything that ask you to pay money to collect winnings is confirm fraud one lah...in this world is pay money then got chance to win...not confirm win but must pay money...unless what you win is less than what you pay...
-
It's not a possible fraud case..it's confirm fraud...
-
got anybody heard of the same storyline used b4?
-
-
Most of the stories are similar but the results are the same...CONNED. I get different stories in my email junkbox everyday...for phonecalls, i never did give them a chance because if its from china and somebody i dunno one..i'll just hello hello and hang up...Originally posted by newcomer:got anybody heard of the same storyline used b4?
There is another thread about such fraud cases here...just look around. -
zzz...if its too good to be true then it probably is.
-
ask your friend to go down the place intended in the first place laa....see wad place is tat...
-
Ehh... people still fall for this?
It doesn't matter what's the specific storyline. Like that other guy said, if you have to put up any money up front for lawyer fees/taxes/retainer blah blah, it's a scam.
If your friend pays up, it's almost guaranteed there will be another fee coming up. -
ya lor. luckily tat day he got meet me sia, i faster told him to call the bank immedietly to freeze the funds, if possible. luckily he was still in time... now he ask me again. to think tat day he still happily blanjah me mcdonald.

This is threatening.
If your friend doesn't pay up, he can't claim his money. -
porsche? u siao ah?
cannot be la
in sg, the best price is only a toyota
and winning a prize means that no need pay 1
ur friend very lucky to call u -
I would qualify it further that it's impossible to be true because in the 1st place, all the victims of such scams never took part in any lucky draw or lottery.Originally posted by thehappybunny:zzz...if its too good to be true then it probably is.
How can you win something out of doing nothing & it always amazes me how on earth people can so easily by taken for a ride. -
Anywhere in the world, tax and admin fee is deducted from the prize and the balance paid out.
No such thing as win $100,000, must pay $10,000 to collect that $100K.
It is always $100,00-$10,000=$90,000. Collect only $90,000.
Scams works.
Just keep on trying.
One day you'll the jackpot. -
Definitely a fraud, sad story about it was reported a few days ago in the papers. Lady lost like 61k til she finally woke up her idea.

Yeah man it IS a fraud. I got kena before.
I received a letter from Spain stating i won 500,000 Euro dollars as part of some international sweepstakes and asked me call the number. Knn wasted money calling fuckin Spain and the fella's english was retarded.
He told me to transfer 3000 Euro dollars to his bank account which was some Spanish bank and the money would be transferred to my bank within a week. Some scam man.
Be wary of them. -
