Boo Hoo! I Just Lost My Chance To Win 500,000 Dollars!



Another personal experience...

Too lazy to recap and here is my complain letter to my mobile service provider....

Thank god I watched a TV program that talked about how a girl lost several thousand dollars when she recieved a message saying that she won a million dollars and was given a number to call back. Seemed like the same modus operandi. and when you do call back, they will keep asking you to send little bit of money for them to send you your WINNINGs...

Btw, the person who called me got upset and asked me to "Go to hell!" I think they are probably all mixed up in their heads.. Angels like me go to heaven.. CONMEN LIKE THEM WHO CON PEOPLE"S MONEY GO TO HELL... HAHAHA:) 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would like to report a dubious call being made today on 9 May 2013 at 11.25am.

Today, someone called my mobile number and told me that my XXX Recharge Card has won a prize. He spoke with a somewhat African Accent. He said I won $500,000and there were many prizes waiting to be won like gold, bmw, etc. I told him I did not take part in any lucky draw and they repeated that I have won $500,000 prize.

Then, they gave me a number and asked me to take out my SIM card to check if the number is the same as the number on my SIM Card.

They told me that if the number is the same, I should call them back on the number +971 502039119.

At this point, they asked where I am from. Being suspicious as I have heard of similar scams, I asked them "Why should I tell you? What has this got to do with whether I win or not?"

And the man got upset and scolded me, "Go to hell, you bastard" which all the more made me sure it is a scam.

Please investigate. I could hear more people calling in the background to informing other people about the win about the prize.

I wonder why and how they could get my number and how they knew my number was a XXX Recharge Card.

I am considering making a poilce report as well.

Please revert.

Yours Sincerely,
Angel Peng

Management Team Scam

 You know how it is if you received an email from your boss, you are likely to follow instructions? Well, it has lately come to my attention that scammers are impersonating management leaders and going to respective employees to ask them to send information over.  A friend working in finance said she has received a WA message from a regional management leader in her company. She was surprised initially because she was wondering how he had gotten her personal number.  But the profile photo was indeed a photo of that particular leader and so she let her guard down and engaged him a little by asking him if he was in town. Following that, he actually told her... "I will like to inform you that we had a meeting with the board of directors." "Decisions have been taken at the level of our subsidiaries" "I'd like to share a letter concerning you personally." "Do you have a personal email?" That was when she got suspicious. So she started to ignore hi...
