(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man
looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he didn’t know how to
read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money
from the ATM machine. I answered ‘NO! If you need help, ask the
security to help you.’ Then he said ‘never mind…’ and continued to find
other people to help him…
REMEMBER:
ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you
have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a
stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.
(2) Suddenly
your house lights go off. From your window you find that your neighbours
still have their lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box.
But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and
preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and
injured.
REMEMBER:
Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open your door
immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there
is any noise around.
(3) This is
another incident. You may have heard about it before; it is about a lady
who saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to the kid, the
kid told
her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a
paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang
the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she
was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER:
Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing
these days. Girls, please be careful. DON’T BE TOO KIND!
(4) One day,
there was an old lady outside my house holding two packets of sweets. At
first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs
of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I realise that she was
foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed
she must be asking for money. I sensed there was something wrong and
immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an
accomplice robbed someone else down the road.
(5) I was at
the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind me, there was an old
lady. She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she
said she had problem with the machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside
me. The small girl was tugging and squeezing in front of me. I thought
she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl placed her
hand inside the tray of the ATM machine where the money was being
dispensed out; ready to take away my money. I sensed something wrong and
immediately pushed her away. Later I realised that the small girl and
the old lady worked hand in hand together. She was trying to steal my
money while the old lady was trying to distract my attention by asking
me questions!
REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you!
(6) My parents
are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger
went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more fuel and the
petrol station was too far away, for him to push his bike there. So he
asked my parents
for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will pay RM2
for the bottle. So my mum gave one coke bottle to him. He really took
out the money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note. He told my mum
he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily
my mum was smart. She just told him to take it for free.
REMEMBER: obviously
that note isfake! Who would want to pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle! It’s very OBVIOUS that that stranger was a trickster.
(7) This happened in Bali . A newly married couple was having their honeymoon at
the hotel. When both were in the changing room, the wife suddenly went
missing. The husband was very anxious and went around finding her. He
asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was
just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife.
After a few hours, he decided to call the police. Three weeks passed and
there was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and was
very disappointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to
watch a ‘FREAK SHOW’ in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal
cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face
was full of scars. When he had a
closer look at her face, he was shocked to find out that she was his
missing wife caged there and used for begging.
(8) This
happened in Shanghai . A few years ago, a lady reported to the police
that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after
five years, one
of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side on one
of the streets in Bangkok , Thailand . The worst thing was that her
cousin sister had no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp post
with a shackle (metal chain).
(9) Let’s just
shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound
of a BABY CRYING! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert
to this form of trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or
murderer using the recording of a crying baby to attract your attention.
This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house.
(10) I read an
email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo
Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is
known as the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are
many people there. It’s also near to the Shenzhen train station and Hong
Kong ’s Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shopping centre while A
and B waited outside. After waiting for a long, time they felt uneasy
and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was
nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C’s phone. There was no
reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether
they had seen anybody suspicious going into the toilet. Both
said there was none and
it’s impossible to bring a person out of the toilet without them
noticing! Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and
then coming out of the toilet. The police told them that were not the
first time such a thing happened there. The police suspected a gang of
criminals who were always attacking women in the the toilets of shopping
complexes. They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs
for sale.
REMEMBER:
please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room
ortoilet ALONE (especially if you are female)! Please at least have a
partner with you.
