643) ADUAN PILIHAN : Latest Phone Scam

Latest Phone Scam (Sharing the Experience)

1.       I received a call from a Malay lady, number shown on my mobile phone: +25013169.

2.       This lady spoke in Malay, informed that she is from POS Malaysia. She read out my name and IC number, then informed that there were 2 high court letters addressed to me but could not be delivered.

3.       She will fax the letters to a police station, and will request personnel from the police station to contact me later.

4.       She gave a reference no. for the letter: 49951, and asked me to check with the police personnel who will call later, to ensure that they are the correct person acting on the correct letters.

5.       10 minutes later I received a call from one lady, identified herself as Madam Cheah, spoke in Malay, saying from Bukit Aman Police HQ. Number shown on my mobile phone:+60322662222.

6.       I know this is a scam, so I purposely spoke rudely to her (asked her to speak louder etc.) She got angry, said that if I don't believe her, to call back the number to verify, then hung up.

7.       I did a search through internet, confirmed that the number +60322662222is indeed from Bukit Aman HQ.

8.       Instead of using my mobile phone to call back, I used Skype to call the number. A Malay lady picked up the call and I checked with her whether this is Bukit Aman, she replied yes, then I hung up.

9.       Quickly I ran through a few postings in the internet on such scams.

10.   In between, they called again and left "missed" calls.

11.   From postings in the internet, apparently if you called them back using the mobile phone, it will be connected directly to them (the syndicate).

12.   But if you call using landline (Telekom), you will be connected to the REAL Bukit Aman.

13.   So I used the landline and called the number, a male police officer answered the phone.

14.   I told him my story, he confirmed that this is a scam, and said that many victims have already called them today and they are working with the multimedia commission investigating this.

15.   The police officer confirmed that the syndicate is using a phone phishing technique, to make the number appearing as from Bukit Aman when they called.

16.   If you called back using your mobile phone, probably there are someone from the mobile phone company working behind with them, will direct your call to the syndicate.

Sharing the above encounter with you so that you will not fall victim to this latest scam.

You Have Been Warned !

KUALA LUMPUR: Persatuan Pengguna Islam Malaysia (PPIM) meminta Suruhanjaya Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia (SKMM) secepat mungkin mencari formula menyelesaikan penyebaran SMS berbaur lucah dan permainan untuk tujuan menipu pengguna.

Ketua aktivis PPIM, Datuk Nadzim Johan berkata, persatuan itu menerima banyak aduan daripada pengguna yang kerugian ribuan ringgit walaupun mereka tidak melanggan perkhidmatan terbabit.

Terbaru, seorang pengguna kerugian hampir RM3,000 walaupun dia tidak melanggan sebarang aplikasi terbabit.

"Saya sendiri ada menerima SMS terbabit dan ini jelas menunjukkan kegiatan ini masih berjalan. Pengguna terpaksa menanggung kerugian selepas kredit mereka dipotong dengan sesuka hati selepas menerima mesej terbabit.

"Bukan sekali malahan mereka menerima mesej itu berulang kali dan tidak tahu bagaimana untuk menghentikannya. SKMM perlu jelaskan kepada pengguna cara untuk mengelak menjadi mangsa," katanya.

EMEL PILIHAN: Serious Message about Using Mobile Phone at High Voltage Areas.

Serious Message....Please read to the end

Dear All,

With deep pains (and tears in my eyes), I am sad to inform you that yesterday morning, one of my dear friend's elder son (Mr. Aditya Suresh Joshi), age 19, studying in 1st year engineering, died in Keshvani Hospital, Mumbai. He was admitted in Keshavani Hospital as burned patient.

Reason 4 days back this boy had gone to Amravati (One of the district place located in State of Maharashtra ) on study tour. After their study was over his classmates & teachers, all of them were standing on "Badnera"railway station to catch the train. "Badnera" is the name of the railway station for " Amravati "city.

As soon as they arrived on Badnera  Railway station, many of them started taking pictures of their friends using "Mobile Phones" and/or "Digital Camera".  One of them complained  that, in his camera, he was not able to capture more number of friends in  one frame. He was not able to catch the angle.  Another boy suggested  climbing on to the train boogie and take picture so that all of them can be  accommodated in a single frame.

There was one goods wagon (all of them were oil tankers) train resting between 2 main railway lines.

Kumar Aditya climbed up the oil boogie. Above his head, 40,000 volts electrical  line was passing through. As soon as he clicked the digital camera 40,000 volt current passed through the camera flash light to his camera and then from his camera to his fingers and then from his fingers to his body. All this happened within seconds. Next moment he was thrown from the top. His body was half burned on the spot.

At that time, his father (my friend) was traveling in Bangkok . His many  friends in Pune came to know about this via mobile SMS. They instantly arranged air ambulance in Amravati and his burned body was brought to   Keshavani Hospital , Mumbai. I was told that this is the best hospital in Mumbai.  Prior to the incident i.e. few days ago he was talking to his relatives. When he was  admitted  to  the  hospital,  doctor informed

his relatives  that don't keep any great hopes. Because of lot of complexity issues in a half burned body.  He died yesterday morning.

Now how many of us are aware about this technological threats &

dangers? Honestly, Kumar Aditya and his father were not aware. His family was not aware. Our entire friend circle of more than 12,000, we were not aware. Now should we call ourselves as fully educated and fully knowledgeable people? Think of it.

Please avoid mobile phones at petrol outlets.  Please avoid talking on mobile phones while driving.  I also know many friends who do not bother about this good suggestion and many of them have opted for a "couldn't care less attitude".  Please avoid talking on mobile phones while they are in charging mode. Avoid charging mobile phones near your bed and/or near wooden furniture.  Avoid using mobile phones and flash lights near high voltage electrical lines like railway stations. My friends, his family members learned our lesson with the loss of a young life. Now would you like to empower your friends about this accident so as to avoid future accidents?

We can save human life by empowering all friends who are in your network? I have done "My Karma  {with deep pains & tears in my eyes}" by empowering you about  this horrible experience.
