I've receieved an email from my uncle.
Its about another cheater who cheats by phone.

Well, if you've read Kenny Sia's blog, you guys should know about the phone scam he almost fell into.
A few people with a china accent told him that he won quite a sum of money after he was "entered into a lucky draw after filling up a phone survey".

Recently, these people are back with another new kinda scam.
But actually, I doubt they had ever backed out before.

My dad receieved a call once and the person (ironically with a china accent too.) asked if he bought any mobiles, then after my dad said no, he started asking if he bought any other appliances and all.
My dad said no, and he hung up.
Most probably, its another scam to be.
The cheaters might be thinking that humans buy a phone every month.


But anyway, back to the main thing.
The email, yes.
The person who wrote the email said that he receieved a message from the Supreme Court, and was asked to press '9' to listen to the message. After he did, someone who claimed she was from the Supreme Court and that he was a suspect, ganging up with a Loan Shark.
When the victim said he did not, the person from the Supreme Court gave him a number, the number of a police officer.

The officer further told him that his account might be sold by a bank officer to the loan shark for extra cash. And to protect his money, he was asked to transfer his money to a "police account" so that the loan sharks will not have access to it.


The victim realised he might be scammed before he transferred the money.
He called the Superme Court officer, and she refused his intention to go to the court to look for her.
In the end she gave up and told him to come.

And he went, and was told by the court they have no such person, no such case, and he is totally innocent.
He was also told, this is not the first time someone called them about this.

My friend, Yanting told me her brother receieved the same call yesterday.
Her brother asked that 'officer', why are there so many china ladies in the court?
She didn't answer.

Her brother called the court, and they say, yes they know.
So just becareful, guys.
