This morning I received an anonymous call from and unknown phone number. On the other end, I heard a guy around the age of 25+ crying and speaking in Mandarin asking for help and claim that he was kidnap and was beaten....The conversation goes something like this:
Phone rings*
Me: Hello??
Caller: Dad, can you please help me, I've been kidnap..(Mandarin)
Me: Who are you??
Caller: Dad, please help me, they beaten me up until I'm bleeding..
Me: Who are you??
Caller: Dad, please come and save me...
Me: Who are you?? Wrong number la....
*Then the phone hung up
Now...not to be cold blooded. Would a victim be so dumb to mistakenly called another guy as the father? 2nd, I didn't know I have a son...woah. This is clearly a fraud case. Then I told my mother in law and she said an aunty around town also got cheated by a phone call like this.
I'm going to Maxis later to see if they can provide me the details and number of the caller then lodge a police report. The reason of this thread is to warn others and inform your parents of such act so that they don't fall victim to these fraud cases. Guys just be cautious...do inform your friends, parents and relatives.....more and more of these cases popping out.
Update:
The caller never called back as of 1:51PM
Update:
Made police report at 4:12PM before this went to Maxis but they required a police report.
Update:
7 Sept. I went back to Maxis for the 2nd time. They say to provide info only to the police. T_T if the police request for the caller's details. Wasted my time going to Maxis...guess I gonna bother the police again to rush them to get the details....Sigh....if I was the baddies, would have be abroad by then...
Here's a picture of the call today. Received the call at 9:12AM..I was still sleeping...
