Crime Call

Please share this with all your friends and family members......... :-)

Dear all

I cannot stop myself from sharing this with all of you.

Its all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from Maxis and he asked me to shutdown my phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place. As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question and shutdown my cell phone.

After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly turned on my cell phone and I received several calls from my family members and the others were from the number that had called me earlier - 3954380.

I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they had received a call from someone claiming that they had me with them and asking for money to let me free. The call was so real and my parents even heard 'my voice' crying out loud asking for help. My parent was at the bank waiting for next call to proceed for money transfer. I told my parents that I am safe and asked them to lodge a police report.

Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to shutdown my cell phone for another 1 hour which I refused to do and hung up. They keep calling my cell phone until the battery had run down. I myself lodged a police report and I was informed by the officer that there were many such scams reported. MOST of the cases reported that the victim had already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get back the money.

Be careful as this kind of scam might happened to any of us!!! Those guys are so professional and very convincing during calls. If you are asked to shut down your cell phone for updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND! Your family or friends might receive the same call.

Dear family/friends,
A new scam going around. When I read the article on Maxis i didnt quite believe until I read the second article which was written by my friend’s nephew. I guess this is not a hoax so please be alert to such con calls. Please forward this.
Blessings










I have personally encountered this – one morning at 9am, I was woke-up by the house phone. Nobody know the number except TM. Still in the sleeping mode, the moment I picked-up the phone, I heard Damian, my nephew’s crying voice begging me to help him. As I was about to question him, someone took over and demand that I pay-up the money that Damian owe them. I asked the caller if he got the right person; he said that he would send me part of his body as proof. He claimed that Damian owed him RM100K. It was then that I was really awake; I told myself impossible for a teenage of 17 years old (Form 5) owing that huge amount. I decided to play along and told the caller to give me time to raise the money. He agreed and said would call me back. I immediately called my mother who usually send the kids to school. I didn’t want to frighten her so I told her that I need her to accompany me to office. After picking her up, in the car I revealed everything and she said she witnessed Damian walking into the school compound. Upon reaching the school, we went straight to his classroom and he was there in the midst of his class. We had to interrupt the lesson and told the teacher of what we experienced. We then went to see his principal and proceed to lodge a police report. This is a must so that the police have the statistic in file. At the police station, we were told by the police that they have received several reports and are still investigating.

REMEMBER – Do not panic, keep calm and evaluate the situation.

Be Safe and Stay Alert!

Please pass around to your family and friends!
