Case 1 : Indian Guru
I walked past Carlton Hotel last december . Then there is this
indian sikh guy who came out from the hotel.
He said "Good Morning" and I smiled back. Realising that I have
responded , he started to speak. He told me he is an indian fortune
teller and he can read my future.
Thinking it was a kind gesture of him , I listened. Before that ,
he wrote something on the paper , folded it and passed to me . I
was told to open it later.
Next , He asked me to pick a colour except red and white. I chose
blue. Ok then he broke the word "BLUE" into 4 different words ,
telling me how each word represent my destiny next year.
And finally he asked me to open that slip. Indeed the word "blue"
was in the paper before I even told him the colour.
Well , thinking that I am convinced that he is the GURU. He passed
me a blue gem , saying that I will need that to improve my luck.
And then the scam comes , he asked me to pay him SGD $50!!
Of course I said no , and he demanded the gem back.

Visit that link and see how the scam is carred out
I got a simliar case this morning. But this time round , the guy
claim that he is from the collection department from Bank Of
China
Said the same thing , that I owed 4800 credit card coz someone used
my card to buy laptop. And in fact I don't have any credit card
from bank Of China.
Gave me a number from Bank Of China which can be easily found on
the website. And also ask me to settle this at their recollection
department at another office. Which I later checked that it is an
insurance company , not office from Bank Of China.
The guy spoke broken English and somehow have my IC number. He used
the last 4 digit of my IC to verify. Should have checked with him
the full IC number.
I sensed that it is a fraud. I prompted the guy on the phone to
provide me the address details where the items were bought. While
giving me halfway , the line got cut. Guess he also realised I knew
the game all along.
The number I got is not a local number as well = +30721160
So dear people ,
please be careful. Spread this news around
