They said that they are collecting more customers info fr Sg &
Msia in order to open their new markets here. They are dealing with
home appliances and mobile phones. Still got website:
www.hkyhe.com
A wk later, they called again to invite me to their exhibitions in
JB. Still give me a Entry Pass ID: AK5058 in order to identify me.
But I din turn up.
Next day, called me again & asked me why i din turn up. I
replied I cant. Then she checked my chinese name characters and
AK5058, congrated me that I won their 2nd prize worth CASH
S$200,000/-. I asked them not true la, they said tht these are
sponsored by 30 over companies.....
At 1st I dun believe, but they keep on convince me. Ask me to
provide my Bank A/c no for them to bank in.
Then their captain LIU HUIMIN called, adv me on hw
to get the money. she said i need to pay taxes of S$30,000/- to
their HK government & a legal fees of S$5280/-. But taxes can
be paid later while the legal fees need to be paid 1st in order to
get the prize.
Another guy called WANG ZHICHENG told me to bank
into this a/c:
MOHD ZAIDI BIN ABDULLAN
1514-4506-8785
MAYBANK
I was so stupid & I went to pay it.
Then they asked another guy from HK Turf Club called ZHANG
JIE to call me to verify my details. waited for an hr, he
called me & claimed tht these prizes only entitled to their HK
club members which costs S$25,000/- each. I told them I'm not
member, then he said he had told his boss & allowed me to pay a
temporary membership of S$10,000/- so to get the prizes.
I ALREADY REPORT IT TO POLICE, I
KNOW ITS TOO LATE FOR ME TO GET BACK MY MONEY BUT I STILL WANT TO
LET ALL PPL KNOWS....
THIS IS A SCAM, MONEY CHEATERS, CON-CASE. SO FRENZ, PLS BEWARE IF U
GOT ANY THESE TYPES OF PHONE CALLS.
RECENTLY, THERE'S ALOT OF SIMILAR CASES LIKE KIDNAPPING ASKING FOR
RANSOM, WINNING LOTTERY ETC....
PLS DUN BE LIKE ME.
PLS CHECK WITH ANY POLICE, LAWYERS TO UNDERSTAND
MORE.[/b]
oh my god.
I received this kind of call this morning.
They told me that I get second prize ($200,000 sing dollar).
Need to pay 2.6% of the prize in order to get the money.
They even asked me to browse the website ,www.hkhye.com
Believe me, they are really professional.
User account and password provided.
Entry pass id totally same as above - AK5058 (oh.......my
god)
I almost believe them until I called my dad to check their
background.
Another reason that i didnt pay the money was I dont have 5.2k in
my saving account.
haha....
Beware of this kind of call.
