A fortnight ago, i encountered a new kind of scam. It was 12mn,
and i was sitting in my living room, reading my newspaper. My
wooden door was opened, (but the metal grille was locked lar),
because i wanted to enjoy the natural breeze. Then suddenly, a
malay lady approached me. And she appeared really distraught and at
a loss.
She said that her husband is working in the late shift, and that
her baby infant is running a severe fever. She says she has run out
of cash at home, but she urgently needs the money to bring her baby
to A&E. Somemore, she stressed that she lives one unit above
me. (I am indeed aware that my neighbours upstairs is a muslim
family, so i never doubted this part of the plot).
Out of sympathy, i gave her a $50 note, and she said she will
return the money to me. within the night itself or the next day
when here hubby returns from work. But yeah, in the end, u know.. i
didnt get the $ lar. I went up one level to speak to my muslim
neighbours and they denied having any persons with a baby infant in
the household.
The cheater's plot is credible because
1) Some muslim families are indeed so poor that at times, there
will be no $ at home one.
2) It is common, that Muslim Men are really hardworking people, and
they will work late shifts to earn more $ to support their
family.
3) The cheater already knows that the neighbours living above me
are muslim family, so it was easy to lie the premise of her story
that she lives upstairs.
4) Manipulation of a mother's love for her infant child. Wah this
really got to me. My heart jz caved in to this.
so Yeah. kudos to such a Brillant plot. KNN.. I admit defeat ler..
