Genuine message posted by a law firm in Malaysia.   If you're going to KL, take note! PUSH-POCKET IN KUALA LUMPUR  I am sure you all have heard of 'pick pocket'.  A new trend 'push pocket'.  Read on.. for your own good    A few days ago a new type of crime has surfaced in town.  It goes something like this:-  Somebody slips a hand-phone into your pocket,  sometimes it could be just a wallet with  an identity card and a few ringgit.    A few minutes later, the 'owner' comes up  and confronts you, the 'thief '.  He makes a big commotion that you stole his stuff.    You, caught unaware, are then pulled aside by the  'owner' for a settlement. You are intimidated and threatened  that if you do not pay up the police will be brought in.  If you pay up, this 'owner' lets you go.  If not, the police are brought in.    Another strange thing is that there always seems  to be a 'witness' to your 'theft'.    I am told this often happens to foreigners at  the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA)  or even at LRT trains.  Given that you're 'guilty until proven innocent'  as far as t he Malaysian police are concerned,  I understand some poor people are in jail for  these 'offences'.    At the KLIA, the 'owner' throws his hand-phone and  wallet with the few ringgit notes into the luggage  trolley of a just arrived passenger.  The drama unfolds a few minutes later.  The real culprit has easily convinced our Malaysian police  to arrest the real victim (if he has not paid up the 'settlement' demand).  This is a very serious matter.      This is another form of extortionists operating in broad daylight.  They are disgusting criminals who will do anything  to rob and steal. The sickening part of the whole  scenario is that unless you pay the 'quoted settlement' money,  they will put you in real trouble by calling the police.    The real culprit gets back his hand-phone  and wallet but the real victim ( i.e.. could be any one of us)  is thrown into the police lock up and charged in court.      So do be very careful,  otherwise you may end up as a 'thief'  as you have no way to prove your innocence.  Pass it on.....  let more people be aware  of such things around them.
