Recent Lucky Draw Scam from Hk/China

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Hallo all, it’s been long since i last blog again… been slacking
at hm for the past 2wks with nothing to do… that is damn bored.
reason being I was given 1mth of MC to rest at hm.

While slacking away, i happened to read an entry from Kenny Sia’s
blog(http://kennysia.com/) and find out that there was a recent phone
scam from HK/China. There is no number appeared on your hp… wat it
shows on yr handset is "unknown number"… When you pick up, he/she
will claim to you that you have won their 2nd prize in their company
lucky draw. The prize is $240,000 HK DOLLARS… it may sounds tempting
and seducing just by looking at the prize… thats not all… to claim
for the price, the winner would need to pay an ’security deposit’ of as
low as 2.5-30% of the cash you gonna win which comes up to a few
thousands SGD.

Despite the high deposit that you gonna pay, many still falls for
this type of scam due to their ignorance and the greed on the high amt
you gonna receive. I would like to post something here jus to alert
some of you and also to give awareness.  I maybe abit slow but many
from Singapore and Malaysia had been cheated. So pls beware and be
alert.

Btw something interest me while reading the entry by Kenny Sia is
that he actually play along with the scammer and recorded down the
whole conversation he had and this is the Video URL
taken from youtube. Below I also found another 3 recorded conversation
by another person from Malaysia. BERY interesting too.. do click on the
link for the conversation to find out their scamming method: Part 1 , Part 2 and Part 3 .
