Hi,
I would like to tell you what happen to me yesterday â
24/10/2007.
About noon time, there is an incoming call to my office direct
line. When I pick up the call, it was a voice recorded message that
said, "You have a message from the Supreme Court. Press 9 to listen
to the message." I pressed 9 and it was transferred to an operator
that answered by saying, "Supreme Court reception, can I help you?"
I told her I received a voice message from Supreme Court telling me
to press 9 to listen to that message.
She proceeds to ask me for my name and I/C number. So I told her
and it sounded like as it she is keying in and paused awhile and
told me I had a notice from Supreme Court with a charge of working
with "Ah long" (Illegal Loan sharks) to open 2 bank accounts for
them and the Supreme Court had already sent me Court summon letter
to me.
I was so shocked and told her I did not know any loan sharks and I
will never do that and I did not receive any letter from Court at
all. She told me for that I'm one of the person who is involved in
this illegal act and if I want to verify my case, she would get the
CID police in charge of this case to call me.
In less than a few minutes, I received a call from someone who
claimed to be a CID officer looking for me. I answered him I am the
person he's looking for. He told me that on such a date, the police
had cracked down and napped a "ah long" (Illegal Loan Sharks) and
in his house, they found a name list containing several bank
accounts open by a group of people and
I happen to be one of them. I was so socked and told him that I
never would do such a thing and I do not know any ah long or loan
sharks at all. He then challenge me and told me, "do you want to
see the evident we got?" I told him, "Yes I would like to come down
to your police office to see it because I did not do that." I then
asked him to give me the address, which department he is from and
his name so that I can go down to see him. He gave me his name is
Officer Khoo Boon Hui at Police HQ. CID Tower. Blk C, level 5. His
office number is 6435 0000. However he quickly change the subject
and ask me a few questions to pretend to be investigating me. He
asked me have I lost my I/C, Bank account book? I answered No. He
then asked me did I let anyone photocopied my I/C or Bank account
book? I thought for a while and answered him I did a few months
back at DBS Bank when I thought of opening a Investment
Account.
He then told me that it could be due to corruption, the bank
officer may have sold my data to the Ah long (loan shark) in return
for some cash. He told me since from his investigation he assume
I'm innocent and one of those whose I/C and bank data the ah long
(loan shark) obtained from corrupt bank officers to make false ID
and bank document to open bank account, he would fax my case to a
Supreme Court office to further investigate and present my case
before the Judge. As such there is no need to go down to see him at
the police HQ he said. He told me he will get the Supreme Court
officer in charge to call me and further arrange how she can help
me to plead with the Judge together with those innocent parties
that had been framed. From the voice of that man officer who talked
to me, I can tell his speaking accents sound like from China. My
mind was so confused and troubled after hearing him talked to me
all these things I did not question that at the moment.
In a while time, a lady called me on my mobile phone saying the
"CID" who had earlier on investigated me had called her and told
her about my case. She would need me to cooperate with her in
further investigation. She told me that she would need to begin to
do a series of questions she need me to answer honestly. All my
conversation with her will be recorded as Court evident. It's so
professionally done that you think you're really going through a
investigation answering those questions like did you disclose any
of your bank information, documents, ID to anyone? Did you loss
your passport, ID, bank book, credit card?â¦
At the end of the series of questions, she told me that they are
working together with international police to crack down these
illegal ah long loan sharks organization that go around corrupt
bank officers to sell their customer's bank information, photo
copied ID document to do fake IDs, passports, and open bank
accounts for them. She told me that right now just because I said
I'm innocent it doesn't prove anything. She need me to do one last
thing. She asked me how many bank account do I have and how much
money I have in my bank account. She said she need me to cooperate
with them to check my bank account to see if there's any activities
transactions that are unusual. She need me to go to Bankok Bank at
Cecil street to TT my bank account money to this "International
Police" account to monitor and protect my money for me as my bank
account is no longer saved as anytime it could be frozen. If I am
really innocent and has nothing to do with any ah long
organization, I would cooperate with them to help them catch any
party that is using my account to wash black money for them. If I
don't cooperate with them to TT my money then it is clear to them
that I have something to do with ah long organization and she shall
turn me over to the Judge straight away to pled me guilty and
sentence me. It was under so much confusion and fear that they
succeed to con people to TT money to this unknown "International
police officer" said to be someone who will monitor any suspicious
transactions, dealing and to save guard and protect the victim's
money. She assured me that if after the investigation is over about
2 hours later, after they checked my account and found nothing
unusual and no black money, that international police officer will
contact me and will TT the money back into my bank account.
I was really confused and when I kept asking her for any black and
white to verify her identity to really make sure she is a real
officer from Supreme Court that she told me her name is officer
Hong Mui Ying and I can reach her at this Supreme Court telephone
number: 63381034. She told me not to hang up and not to tell
anybody about what I'm about to do so that it will not mess up
their investigation process. She instructs me to go to 108 Cecil
Street, BangKok Bank to TT the money.
She told me to talk to her when I arrived at BangKok Bank then she
would disclose to me the details of the International Police to
whom I am to TT my money to. The following is the details she gave
me to TT my bank money to when I arrived at Bangkok Bank:
Name of person receiving the money: MOORDOO JAESH
Account No: 398-073768-2
Address: MAESAI
I almost TT one thousand dollars to this account she gave me to TT
my money to. But while I was at the counter, something on the
inside of me tells me, "how could you simply believe these things
she talked to you about? How do you know if she really is a Supreme
Court officer? You don't even know who this person she told you to
TT your money to. What if this is a cheat and once you TT your
money over to this unknown person, you get cheated of your money?"
So I withhold what I was about to do at that moment and started to
talk to this "Supreme Court officer" again on the phone. I asked
her if I can go down to Supreme Court and look for her to verify
her identity also with Supreme Court too. She told me she would be
very busy as she is handling a lot of such cases and may not have
time to see me. She kept telling me to cooperate with her if I'm
really innocent and should let them check my money which makes no
sense to me. Finally I said to her, "I really want to go down to
Supreme Court to verify your identity and I don't mind waiting for
you at the Supreme Court. Should you be busy, I'll wait for you at
Supreme Court and also want to check with the officer at Supreme
Court too if you really are an Officer who work there." She then
said, "ok, you may come down to Supreme Court and look for
me."
After I put down the phone, I went straight to Supreme Court to
look for her. To my surprise, when I was there at Supreme Court
reception counter to ask for this lady officer, the receptionist
told me that there isn't any such lady officer in Supreme Court and
I'm not the only person who had came down to look for or called to
look for these lady officer. Then the receptionist took out a
recent newspaper and showed me that recently a man was cheated of
$10,000 also received such call claiming to be officer from Supreme
Court.
The Supreme Court receptionist then asked me for my name and IC
number when I was there at Supreme Court reception counter to check
if there are any real court case or charges I have. So I gave him
my IC number and Name. After searching through the system, he told
me that he cannot find any charges or court case with me. It was
then I realized that I have been conned by those 3 people who had
impersonated to be Supreme Court staff and CID.
Then the receptionist told me that it is better for me to go down
to a police station to do a police report on this and I went down
to Kreta Ayer NPP to made a police report on the same day
24/10/2007.
I hope the police would quickly catch these evil cheaters out there
trying to cheat people of their money. The police officer at Kreta
Ayer NPP also told me I'm not the only victim of such case. He told
me I can go and read about this at -
