Tell your family & friends about this...better safe than sorry.
Another modus operandi to commit a crime.
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.
Be Safe and Stay Alert!
Please pass around to your family and friends!
