I recall last week, Judy, blog bout the phone call she received from HK about the scam. I was thinking hmm…that’s the first time I hear this sort of scam. Usually I get via emails. In fact, me being the witty one, even replied their mail with some crap, just to make fun of them lah :P..see nothing better to do last time haha…
So what happen? Today near lunch time, my hp rang. Then I saw the number was +00. So I picked up. Mandarin speaking. The background was so noisy. The first thing she asked was do you speak Mandarin. Well, I told her yeah…I can understand and speak a lil. So she started yada yada…
I didn’t know it was scam till later I heard she mentioned HK…won something…dunno what lah, then instantly I recall. Then after yada yada for so long, she stopped and ask me something. Can’t remember cause it was bloody noisy and I knew it was a scam liao by then.
So I just say, sorry not interested hahaha…..
Then she said dunno what lah in Mandarin again…then pap…bye……
OOhhh..so if I don’t speak Mandarin, does it mean I can’t take that money kekeke..
Well anyways…I’m lil surprise how they got my number. Cause I don’t usually give my number to people. Although I suspect it might be a wrong number case, since my number is very easy to remember!!! I didn’t join any contest also…so can’t be me lah…somemore I so buta huruf chinese writing one, where can join contest.
Well, Mommies out there, just be careful. Times are bad, people can just create any story to cheat you, even just for a mere stupid 10 yrs old handphone :P.
Umm…. the phone scam have been around for quite a while, mostly Chinese dailies report ’em. In fact they manage to cheat people because of the greed in people. Btw, they normally speak in Mandarin (meaning the caller from China lo) HK speaks Cantonese wat 😛
Aiyoh, they don hv new tricks liow meh. No challenge la.. kekekeke..
eh i heard dat some charges u for the phone time, dunno route here route there end up one minute dunno how much paying them oredi… so best is just put down no need to tok so much la :p
Hahaha…does that mean don’t know mandarin cannot be cheated?
actually sometime ago i also received some sms in chinese saying i won millions and i have to reply by the same day, being a banana and dunno how to read i only got my colleague to read out to me a few weeks later, and the scam was reported in newspaper, imagine if i know how to read chinese? already become sui yee!
Heard of this type of scam. It was reported in the Chinese daily – a man recorded the message and reported the case.
Eh, I think that day I heard my colleague received this kind of call also lar 🙂 better becareful lor.
I got it once… Asking for my details or something, saying I won something also, I asked her where are u from, where u calling from, she dunno say wat and wat and wat lar, then i just say not interested and hang up…
OMG, the scam did still going on…
Eh, I also got the same phone call yesterday lunch time. The first thing she asked was do I speak Manadrin. Then I said yes. Like you said, it was so noisy and I kept on asking what? She got fed up and hung up. Hehe….
Coincidently, I also received ONE such call not long ago. Asked me if I can speak mandarin. Then my line is very bad in the office and couldnt say much. say got some survey, and i hung up
Hahaha… Me too, I got it before, asked me speak mandarin or not, then asked for my surname, then asked me I usually travel or not and where I usually travel, then she said something like from HK will be having an event at KK, related to tourism, they will have lucky draw. I said I’m not in KK, no point. She said, “nvm, when got the price they will send it to my doorstep”, then want my fullname and address and so on. I said. “no need lar, i’m not interested”. Then she said, “ooo… like that thank you lo. bye.” The background is so noisy I cant really hear what she said hahaha… The number I got is start with 03 one.
I mean prize not price 😛
