鄭梅嬌‧刮刮樂利用少年行騙
2010-12-28 19:23
三四年前，刮刮樂特工隊成立，我們以為刮刮樂已快消失，何況目前在刮刮樂重鎮――新山，也只剩下兩家刮刮樂公司。然而，公司是減少了，但警方的投報卻多了，甚至多了一倍；刮刮樂特工隊在全國走動時，才知道事態嚴重，因為它在市面上已有20年的歷史，受害者更包括了法官、議員等專業人士，保守估計涉及款項達300億令吉。
或許民眾醒覺這是一種騙案而不是正派經營的事業，受害者再也不啞巴吃黃蓮，勇於投報。今年大馬消費人仲裁庭數據顯示，5千宗索償案中最多是刮刮樂，佔了434宗；顯然，嚴打刮刮樂的這些年，刮刮樂活動曾沉寂，但沒有減少。
何以大家明明知道刮刮樂的真面目，它卻永遠有做不完的生意？是人性的貪婪沒有止境，教人不能自持的上當呢？是刮刮樂後台夠硬？還是執法疏失，造成無法全面打擊刮刮樂？
新加坡遊客每天經過長堤，進入連接關卡的行人天橋，卻像羊曝露在狼群，一再被刮刮樂集團盯上；柔州貿消部接獲新加坡遊客頻頻投訴，顯示問題嚴重。貿消部副部長陳蓮花今年10月，更到當地貼海報發傳單，避免刮刮樂再向新加坡遊客伸出魔掌。就在斗大的海報下，上當者依然陸續“中獎”。
刮刮樂有甚麼能耐？原因之一，刮刮樂小兵都是年紀尚輕的孩子，易讓人放下戒心，他們會裝可憐，見縫插針，只要他們說服你開門給一杯水喝，就有刮走你錢財的機會；他們會把身份證給你，藉此爭取你的信任。他們會你一言我一句，打亂你的正常思維，這都是訓練有素的伎倆。
令人關注的是，這些投入刮刮樂騙案的年輕人，很多才十六七歲，這些本該在求知、心智正在成長、人格正在發育的年輕人，卻進入了刮刮樂“訓練班”，在刮刮樂集團有系統的調教下，學習專業的蒙人技巧；其中涉及的兩個層面是：社會道德標是否出了問題，以及青少年心靈的戕害，社會是否須自我反省。
很多時候，我們的社會強調的價值觀無非是名牌文化、快速致富、高檔的物質要求。整個社會似乎忘記高尚品格與一分耕耘、踏實工作的可貴特質。不要怪這些刮刮樂青少年，先看看我們給了他們怎麼樣的世界。甚麼樣的思維就有製造甚麼樣的產物，一個觀念不正常的社會，要怎樣讓我們的青少年正常起來？
嚴打刮刮樂四五年，我們沒有勝利，還需要努力。至今，大家唯一依靠的，僅是媒體的伸張正義、仲裁庭的索償追討，展開漫長的追訴旅程。然而，我們要的只是錢的救贖嗎？我們要的僅是如此而已嗎？

金融遊戲是騙局？
金融遊戲是騙局？：第二篇
中國數學天才一條公式
把全球銀行業推向懸崖
次貸風暴爆發前，美國華爾街運作上億美元交易的銀行家，無不對李祥林這位中國數學天才稱譽，甚至認為他某日會得到諾貝爾獎的眷顧。
因為他發明的一個數學公式，讓2001年規模只達9200萬美元（約2億9000萬令吉）的全球金融洐生品市場，6年內增長67萬倍到2007年的62兆美元（約195兆令吉）。
但金融市場出乎意料之外改變，曾繁榮無比的金融衍生品市場崩潰，把全球銀行推向懸崖邊緣，全球更陷入自二戰以來最大的經濟衰退。
李祥林也被同樣一群銀行家視為眾矢之的，孰不知成敗皆因這一條公式。
早自1980年代中期開始，美國華爾街就依賴金融工程精英創造各種新的獲利途徑。
但儘管金融市場蓬勃發展，數以兆計的資金一直不敢貿然進入投資市場，最重要原因在于金融業一直無法精確簡單預測投資對象的風險。
李祥林的公式，卻以一種近乎簡單的方式解決這個問題。
追溯至2000年，37歲的摩根大通僱員李祥林著迷于一種叫做“破碎的心”（Brokenheart）統計學現象，意即當一對伴侶其中一人去世，未來幾年另位伴侶去世的可能性就會大增。
他關注的是一個金融難題，如幾家看起來毫不相關的企業，若其中一家倒閉，剩下的公司業績會否受影響？倒閉的可能性又有多大？
從投資角度來看，能否確定這點至關重要，因為這能非常準確預測不同投資對象的投資效應，從而精確知道對某家企業是否值得投資、和投資多少錢。
量化投資對象互影響
情況就像你很容易知道果農今天摘下多少斤蘋果，卻很難預測未來一週會有多少斤蘋果因為賣不出去而爛掉。
李祥林2000年在著名金融雜誌《固定收益》發表一篇名為《論違約相關性：相依函數方法》論文，用極簡單數學方法，量化不同投資對象之間的相互影響，及每位投資對象或存在不同風險。
他用一個叫“信用違約掉期”（CDS）的參數，推導每位投資對象可能潛在的風險。
這種參數在市場是公開的，就是投資者為了保證自己能按期取得投資回酬而買的保險，這也是金融衍生品最主要的部分。
美國國際集團（AIG）、房利美（Fannie Mae）和房地美（Freddie Mac），一直是這個市場最大的保險提供商。
這些保險的購買者包括雷曼兄弟、美林、高盛集團、摩根士丹利等金融投資機構。
李祥林的公式讓金融機構能大膽出售各種新型證券和金融衍生品，將金融市場擴張至幾乎不可思議的水平；正因如此，當風暴來襲時殺傷力更大！
學術背景進軍華爾街
這個充滿爭議的數學公式創始人李祥林，1960年代在中國江蘇連雲港出生，成績優異，考獲南開大學的經濟學碩士學位后到美國留學，獲得魁北克拉瓦爾大學的MBA學位。
此后他繼續深造，先后獲得加拿大滑鐵盧大學的精算學碩士學位和統計學博士學位。
1997年他在加拿大帝國商業銀行開始金融職業生涯，后來就職于巴克萊資本，並在2004年負責重建數量分析小組。
李祥林的學術背景，在華爾街的精英中顯得非常典型。
由于從事學術研究的收入遠不如華爾街投資銀行和對沖基金給出的薪水高，所以1980年代開始，大量數理背景的高級人才進入華爾街，從事金融衍生工具的創造、定價和套利。
如今李祥林已回到中國，並是中金的總風險長。
借李祥林公式
大家齊撈金
當債券投資者、華爾街的銀行、評級機構到監管機構，幾乎每一個人都在使用李祥林的公式，並幫人們賺到大錢時，任何對此公式的局限警告都被忽視。
幾率極小危機重大
2005年秋天，李祥林曾在《華爾街日報》指出，很少人真正理解這一條公式的核心。
最危險的部分是，人們相信模型推算出的所有數據。
他非常清楚公式的致命處，因為公式需要使用某個特定投資對象的保險價作為最主要參數，重要的是為保障投資收益設立保險的做法，只有10幾年曆史。
在這10幾年里，全球特別是美國經濟一直處于上漲趨勢，換言之，李祥林公式無法預見發生幾率很低，但破壞力驚人的重大危機，如房地產價格集體大幅下滑。
不幸的是，2007年下半年首先在美國出現的次貸危機正是這類幾率極小的重大危機。
但在現實金融世界中，太多金融分析人士只看到眼前毫無生命的數字，忘卻這些數字代表的有形和真實的現實，沒有思考這些數據究竟是否有實際意義。
財金術語
破碎的心
“破碎的心”（Brokenheart）換為統計術語，便是“聯結”和“相關”的關係。
精算師將這種關係帶入數學模型，準確計算人壽保險和夫妻聯合人壽年金（Joint Annuities）的保費。
在破碎的心統計學現象中，當一對伴侶其中一人去世，未來幾年另位伴侶去世的可能性就會大增。

黑店修車 200變4000 大道上車壞．商人遭恐嚇

黑店修車 200變4000
大道上車壞．商人遭恐嚇
（淡邊26日訊）獅城商人的轎車在高速公路損壞，被送入修車黑店，令事主慘被恐嚇及敲詐，修車費竟從200令吉變成4000余令吉！
事主黃奕銳（56歲）心有不甘，偕同妻子及親戚向馬華淡邊區會秘書葉祥福投訴，希望公路使用者提高警惕，以免成為下一個受害者。出席者尚有淡邊新村熊榮沐村長及村委許金水。
黃奕銳指出，他與家人日前從吉隆坡辦事后南下新山，晚上8時許途經甲州新邦安拔休息站，他將轎車停放在油站附近后，便與家人前往用餐，當時，其轎車前方有一名印裔男子站在一輛依絲華拉車前。
他說，他們用餐后繼續驅車南下，但車子行駛約十分鐘后，車后方便冒出黑煙，汽車排擋也告失靈不能操作，他唯有將車子停泊在緊急車道。
“這時，一輛尾隨的依絲華拉轎車停下，3名印裔男子趨前詢問及協助檢查，告知我的車子只出現小問題，並表示可介紹在附近的友人修車行進行維修，費用約200令吉。”
拆下排擋箱
他說，由于覺得收費合理，他當時答應其獻議，詎料，隨后發現車子竟被拖到60公里外，位于芙蓉萬茂的一間修車行。
“對方當時將我的轎車排擋箱整個拆下，然后表示無法修理，必須等到隔天交給其他同行維修。”
黃氏說，在無計可施下，他與家人午夜12時許截停一輛德士，準備到酒店過夜，當時，德士司機告知他們進了一間黑店，肯定凶多吉少。
他說，隔天他到修車行查詢，竟被告知修車費約2000余令吉，當他傍晚前往取車時，卻被告知需繳還4000余令吉，令他大吃一驚。

人還健在錢被拿光 假死亡證書冒領老婦公積金

人還健在錢被拿光
假死亡證書冒領老婦公積金
沙拉斯瓦蒂迄今還活生生，卻遭人以假死亡證書，全數領出逾5萬令吉公積金。
（梳邦再也23日訊）不法分子假造生人的死亡證書，全數領出當事人的5萬6815令吉23仙公積金。
未退休被指患老人病死
令人啼笑皆非的是，公積金局也被不法分子泡制的假死亡證書騙倒，輕易讓騙徒得逞，領取事主辛苦半輩子儲存到的公積金，令事主欲哭無淚。
女事主熟食小販沙拉斯瓦蒂（54歲）今日在女兒黛薇尤卡瑪拉（27歲）陪同下，在梳邦再也區州議員楊巧雙服務中心召開記者會，揭發遭人使用假死亡證書冒領其5萬6815令吉23仙的公積金。
“我的人還活生生在此，也沒有因為老人病死亡，這分死亡證書分明是假的！”
沙拉斯瓦蒂除是遭一位錫克裔男子（51歲）使用假死亡證書，冒領其公積金戶頭內的錢丬
她說，由于明年就退休，她今年早前到梳邦區的公積金局查詢公積金戶頭，竟被告知其戶口已沒余款。
報案揪男子
她說，她較后前往八打靈再也公積金局總部查詢時，也獲得相同的答案，聲稱其公積金已被人全數提出。
她指出，她根據指示，12月15日前往拉惹拉勿路的公積金局查詢，才被告知其戶口內的5萬6815令吉23仙，已全數被一位錫克族男子在2009年4月15日提出。
她重申，她並不認識該錫克族男子，對方既不是她的親戚，也不知對方是誰。
她說，公積金局官員聲稱，該男子前往領取公積金時出示所有文件，包括她的死亡證書，證明她已在2008年5月9日在位于文良港的住家，因老人病逝世，有關死亡證書是在2009年3月2日發出。
“我覺得整件事相當荒唐，我還活生生的在這裡，也沒有因老人病逝世，如今卻有人使用一份假的死亡證書，從我的公積金戶頭提走所有公積金。”
沙拉斯瓦蒂說，公積金官員曾要求給予14天時間進行調查，從12月15日迄今，該局官員卻未曾聯絡過她，也沒告知調查進展如何。
“我已于12月15日在金馬律警局報案，希望警方調查此事，找出使用假死亡證書的人。”
按程序處理．向警方報案
公積金局沒亂批
報導：郭貞黎
（吉隆坡23日訊）公積金局明日將針對印裔婦女沙拉斯瓦蒂遭人虛報死亡，通過假死亡證書提取公積金一事，向警方報案。
公積金局公關經理聶阿芬迪今午接受《中國報》詢問時澄清，該局根據程序批准發出公積金予該錫克裔男子，沒有胡亂批發公積金的問題存在，希望外界不要錯怪該局。
他否認公積金局在此事中有失誤之處，更澄清錯不在該局。
他透露，當該名錫克裔男子持著印裔老婦的死亡證書到公積金局時，該局官員也根據程序調查，包括進入國民登記局的聯線上網系統調查。
他澄清說，該局職員看到錫克裔男子出示的書亡證書屬于“真版”，確實是由國民登記局發出，不是偽造文件。
他指出，在通過查閱國民登記局網站資料，也證明沙拉斯瓦蒂已“死亡”，而且已死亡年余。
“既然該錫克裔男子已出示戶頭持有人的死亡證書，通過國民登記局網站也鑒定沙拉斯瓦蒂已死亡，我們不可能再置疑該分死亡證書的真偽。”
盜提男子是戶頭受益人
沙拉斯瓦蒂公積金戶頭的受益人，竟是涉及盜提的錫克裔男子！
聶阿芬迪透露，據該局資料顯示，沙拉斯瓦蒂的公積金戶頭有填寫受益人，就是該名被指提出全數公積金數額的克里斯漢星。
他說，資料顯示，該位錫克裔男子的名字在2006年開始，已被填入沙拉斯瓦蒂的受益人欄目。
他指出，由于該“受益人”已提出文件資料等證明，該局官員經過調查及證明無誤后，才發出戶頭內的全數公積金數額予該名錫克族男子。
他指出，週五接到《中國報》詢問后，該局再度進入國民登記局的聯線網站查閱，依然看到沙拉斯瓦蒂還是在“死亡”人士名單中。
“我們將于明日（週五）報警，將事件交予警方調查。”

Blacklisted, upaid fines and extra RM 3000 for man who lost Mykad

Blacklisted, unpaid fines and extra RM3,000 for man who lost MyKad
JOHOR BARU: A man who lost his MyKad 14 years ago was shocked to find out that his name was blacklisted, a vehicle was registered under his name and RM3,000 was credited to his Employees Provident Fund (EPF) account without his knowledge.
Lorry driver K. Subramaniam, 35, said he lost his wallet containing his MyKad at Saleng in Kulaijaya in 1996.
He was surprised to learn that a motorcycle was registered under his name in 2005.
“The person who used my identity card bought a motorcycle and was issued a traffic summons in Perak,” he said, adding that he had never driven a Perak-registered vehicle before.
Subramaniam, who said this at a press conference organised by Skudai assemblyman Dr Boo Cheng Hau here yesterday, explained that he went to renew his road tax in 2005 at the state Road Transport Department (JPJ) headquarters here, but the JPJ informed him that he had been blacklisted due to unpaid traffic summonses.
He said he could not renew his road tax but after talking with a JPJ officer, he paid half the amount due and renewed his road tax.
“I then lodged a police report about the matter,” he said, adding that the man who used his identity had accumulated more than RM5,000 in summonses and he had to pay about RM3,000 to clear his name.
Subramaniam said he was surprised to see an additional RM3,000 in his EPF account.
“I wanted to know where the money came from and I was informed that the man who stole my identity card had used it to apply for work as a security guard in Kampar, Perak.
“I tried to trace the man but he has since quit his job,” he said, adding that he hoped the authorities would take action against the man who has caused him so much trouble.

Subramaniam, who said this at a press conference organised by Skudai assemblyman Dr Boo Cheng Hau here yesterday, explained that he went to renew his road tax in 2005 at the state Road Transport Department (JPJ) headquarters here, but the JPJ informed him that he had been blacklisted due to unpaid traffic summonses.
He said he could not renew his road tax but after talking with a JPJ officer, he paid half the amount due and renewed his road tax.
“I then lodged a police report about the matter,” he said, adding that the man who used his identity had accumulated more than RM5,000 in summonses and he had to pay about RM3,000 to clear his name.
Subramaniam said he was surprised to see an additional RM3,000 in his EPF account.
“I wanted to know where the money came from and I was informed that the man who stole my identity card had used it to apply for work as a security guard in Kampar, Perak.
“I tried to trace the man but he has since quit his job,” he said, adding that he hoped the authorities would take action against the man who has caused him so much trouble.

製造假車禍搶車 4匪推倒女書記
更新: December 18, 2010 17:37
製造假車禍搶車
4匪推倒女書記
（芙蓉18日訊）假車禍，真搶車！
4名疑是巫裔的劫匪製造車禍，趁華裔女書記步下車理論時，將受害者推倒在路面，快速劫走轎車逃逸而去。
事后受害者雖大喊求救，但附近屋主跑出外時，劫匪早已逃走，並在逃走時險撞向從外頭欲回家的華裔摩哆騎士。
這宗製造車禍搶車事件，是于週四（16日）晚上9時15分左右，在芙蓉韓球豐路發生，受害者為當地居民陳美婷（24歲）。
受害者乘坐的是二手威華轎車，甫于4個月前以2萬8000令吉買下，由于她下車時沒有將轎車引擎熄上，以致白白看著轎車被劫走，就連放在車內的手提袋、手機及證件等，也一併被劫走。
事主也被推倒在路面時，腰部受傷，雙腳膝蓋及雙手也擦傷。
沒陌生人出沒
陳美婷今午在記者會上指出，事發時她從家里驅車外出，在路口處見到4名劫匪共乘一輛威拉轎車而來，當其車欲越過路拱時，遭對方猛撞向其轎車后部。
她指出，意外發生后，其中一名巫裔劫匪步下車，假意要瞭解其轎車狀況，當她詢問對方為何撞她的車時，對方將她推倒在路面，並快速登上駕駛座，聯同威拉轎車一起逃離現場。
她說，近期沒有看到有陌生人出沒該地區，所以當劫匪的轎車經過時，她並沒有起疑心，唯事后感到心有余悸，晚上也睡不著。
國陣沉香區服務中心協調員李麒昌希望所有市民，出入時提高警惕，若看到陌生人，應立即通知警方。
他希望汽車維修中心廠，如有任何人將車輛送往維修時，小心處理，或向警方查證，避免被牽涉入刑事罪案中。
任何人見到以下轎車，可聯絡警方
劫匪轎車：淺藍色威拉轎車，車牌號碼 WJJ 1319
受害者轎車：萍果青威華轎車，車牌號碼 NBX 6347

訛稱可藉性交轉運 賤男面子書騙70女

訛稱可藉性交轉運
賤男面子書騙70女
少女出示阿迪給她的短訊，對方表示願出1.8萬元包養她（左）及要求再性交等露骨短訊（右）。
（香港15日訊）變種性交轉運騙案透過“面子書”（Facebook）廣傳。
香港15歲少女阿思（化名）早前在面子書結識肥仔網友阿迪。阿迪聲稱行衰運，願支付4.8萬元（約2萬令吉）跟阿思性交4次求轉運，完事后卻不顧而去。
阿思不忿被騙色，再約阿迪外出，揭發他手機內藏逾千裸女照及多段性愛短片。她致電部份女子，多人表示同遭阿迪以類似橋段騙色，估計受騙者最少達70人。
阿思週一報警，警方暫列作與未成年少女發生性行為案調查，表示會嘗試聯絡其他女生，了解有否更多人受騙。
阿思周日在朋友陪同下，向香港《蘋果日報》記者憶述被誘騙經過。她說，阿迪在面子書內一人分飾兩角，先是假扮女生，邀妙齡少女加入朋友清單。阿思不虞有詐，9月底與“她”交友。
手機藏逾千裸女照
網上的“她”說，有男性友人正走衰運，願意付4.8萬元，跟某年某月出生的女子做愛4次，以求轉運。 阿思信以為真，“她”才以阿迪這“真身”在面子書出現，相約阿思外出。10月，阿迪帶阿思來到大埔一個單位發生性行為，兩人共性交4次。
事后阿迪沒按承諾付錢，又玩失蹤。一直協助阿思的朋友阿賢說，阿迪提出性交前，肯定知道阿思未滿15歲，但照樣作出誘騙，明知故犯。
阿思不忿受騙，兩個月來不斷以短訊與阿迪聯絡，其間對方表示願以1.8萬元包養她，及回覆要求再性交等露骨短訊。至上周三，阿思終于相約到阿迪見面，她于是展開連串反擊。她事先聯絡十多名朋友在餐廳外守候。
兩人晚飯過后，阿思的朋友即上前跟阿迪理論。混亂間，有人拿到阿迪的手機，發現內藏1060張照片，大部分是裸女照，估計最少涉及60至70名少女。
手機內還有十數段性愛片段，全是阿迪性交時拍下。有人致電聯絡部份相中女子，數名女子均稱被同一變種“性交轉運”橋段哄騙上床，稱若有人報警，日后願上庭作證。
受害少女不敢求助
有關注性工作者組織說，面子書這類網上交流媒介，為少女從事性交易提供了不少方便。同時，學校性教育也太多禁忌，沒有盡本份警惕學生；曾有社工以裸露廣告作教材，被校方制止。
本案受害人眾多，暫時只有一名少女挺身報警。專門支援年輕性工作者的志願組織青躍幹事鮑伊說，事件暴露了少女不敢求助的普遍心態：“好多女生的面子書交由清單加了一個男性，對方邀請單獨約會，又不敢問朋友意見，害怕被人取笑愚蠢，這樣就更容易受騙。”
社交網站為援交少女提供了方便之門，鮑伊說：“現在網上如此多交友區，可直接同客人聯絡，連中介人都不用。”
現時一些成人討論區都加上警方的宣傳字句，主要是警告少女切勿援交，及性交易犯法等，但沒有呼籲受害人報警求助。
鮑伊批評警方宣傳手法導致受害人不敢報警，間接包庇了騙徒：“我們最近接觸過一個少女，同客人交易期間被偷拍，然后對方用短片勒索。少女最初不敢報警，他覺得自己是罪犯，報案一定會被警察抓。結果我們要又拉又勸，才成功報警拉疑犯。”
女受害者圖自殺
阿思說，事發后情緒大受影響，想過自殺，“又生氣又不開心”，“我覺得阿迪好衰，這樣對女生”。
她指，阿迪最初甜言蜜語，哄她做愛助他轉運，又稱不自覺是援交。
本身是律師的立法會議員涂謹申說，若女事主所言屬實，男網民涉嫌干犯“與未成年少女發生性行為”。
他指出，至于其他成年女子要追究則有點困難，因為若雙方自願，不能控以強姦，但可循以虛假手段騙取性交的方向跟進。
10段淫片1人為嫩模
仿似藝人陳冠希，肥仔網民阿迪跟少女性交時，總愛拍下照片甚至短片留為紀念。
大部分短片的背景都是漆黑一片，阿迪拍片時相當保護自己，不會在鏡頭前露面，卻任由少女“拋頭露面”。
被指是阿迪拍下的性愛短片，最少有10段，涉及3名女子。據了解，其中一名是“嫩模”。
被指誘騙少女的阿迪是一名肥仔，據知他是一名80后。記者取得他的相片，相中人臉圓、眼細，沒戴眼鏡，他與一名少男朋友合照，將頭靠在對方肩上，又圈著他的手臂。
片段多數都傳來電視聲、收音機聲或流行歌聲，其中一段約長1分30秒的片段，拍著一名女子洗澡，女子初時不知被攝，與拍攝者閒聊。
后來她發現被攝入鏡頭，即時高叫要求停止拍攝，但隨即傳來一把顫抖的男聲說：“拍完delete（刪除），會delete，大家拍完一齊看，一齊笑”。
另一段約長3分半的短片，入鏡女子笑問：“你會不會放上網，會不會勒索我呀？”但沒抗拒對方拍攝，之后傳來一把男聲笑說：“是呀，勒索你100萬呀”，之后雙方繼續性交。

佯裝國行詐財老千心急
女商人拒照辦保財物
獨家報導：蘇蓮珍
（新山15日訊）詐騙集團佯裝國家銀行職員佈局詐財，怎知老千疑太心急，逼使女商人進行銀行轉賬，女商人一時賭氣，拒絕照辦，僥倖逃過騙局。
據了解，詐騙集團疑無法盜取外資銀行戶頭的款額，便強逼女商人在半小時內，將外資銀行的存款，全數提出存入本地銀行戶頭。
此舉引起女商人不滿，甚至與對方發生口角，暫緩轉賬程序，並致電父親要求協助。最終，父親點醒夢中人，她才恍然大悟自己差點墜入圈套，保住至少4000令吉款項。
女商人陳詩欣（29歲，住新山龍舌花園）向《中國報》指出，昨早11時30分，她開車前往武吉英達花園準備用餐，接獲自稱國民蓄儲銀行（BSN）職員來電，指其信用卡限額增值申請不獲批准。
勿將此事告知別人
由于她沒有相關銀行的信用卡，職員即懷疑其身分被盜用，指示她致電國家銀行尋求支援，並給了她一組電話號碼03-2782xxxx。
她按指示撥電該組號碼至國行，接線的職員指其身分可能遭身邊的親人或同事盜用申請信用卡，指示她不能向任何人提及此事，以免打草驚蛇。
隨后，職員為了調查此案，向她索取所有信用卡和提款卡號碼，其中信用卡只摘取最后4個號碼，提款卡則12個號碼全取。陳詩欣不疑有詐，將3張信用卡和2張提款卡號碼全部告知。
接著，對方又指將替她啟動一份保險，保障其戶頭的款額一旦被盜用，可獲賠償，條件是她需在30分鐘內，前往本地某銀行提款機，按指示完成提款卡設定。
慶幸，最終她覺得時間過緊迫，無法照辦，老千無法得逞。

免費旅遊配套誘騙入會
又78人上當！
（吉隆坡15日訊）還有受害者！
繼上星期27人峇厘島旅遊夢碎后，目前再有78名華裔男女挺身而出，指遭同一旅行社以相同手法欺詐，共被騙走6萬3750令吉血汗錢，損失慘重！
這78人心有不甘，派出代表向警方報案和旅遊局投訴，欲索回血汗錢，以討回公道。
78人的代表劉保育（50歲，自僱人士）今日和逾30名團友，一輛巴士從關丹馬蘭斯里再也下吉隆坡，向馬華公共服務及投訴組主任拿督張天賜投訴和陪同召開記者會。
他說，在今年4月頭，接獲霹靂州一間旅行社負責人安東妮的電話，對方以免費旅遊配套，引誘他成為該公司終生會員，並以信用卡繳付498令吉會費。
他和上星期27人峇厘島代表一樣，較后獲得該旅行社寄給他一些印有IATA和MATTA徽章的證書和小冊書。
較后，安東尼再致電，以3人同行免費旅遊配套，慫恿他呼籲親友加入此旅遊團。
他先后號召75名團友，每人繳付850令吉旅費后，將總數6萬3750令吉先后匯給有關旅行社，等待11月22日至25日的4天三夜旅遊團。
相同的伎倆，不同的是旅行社以信件告知，該旅行團將會延期至明年3月。
他再次代表團友于10月14日和有關旅行社負責人交涉，包括要求退款不遂后，他向其律師詢問，律師疑有欺騙成分和建議，他于10月20日前往霹靂旅遊局投訴和霹靂警區報案。
希望旅遊局徹查
非致函要求7天回覆
“旅遊局只以公函寄給該旅行社，要求7天回覆﹗”
劉保育說，他于10月20日到霹靂警局報警外，還到旅遊局投報，希望旅遊局徹查有關旅行社。
他接到旅遊局的回函表示，當局已致信該旅行社，要求該社在7天內回覆。
旅行社已回函解釋，會給該78名華裔男女2個選擇，即延期旅遊或每人賠償2500令吉的國外旅遊配套。
他說，其旅行社也以6張支票形式退款，可是只退回總額的一半，每張6000令吉的餘額，可是此6張支票抬頭都誌期明年5月至10月11日。
曾有團友到銀行詢問，其戶頭是否歸旅行社所有，該銀行示意，的確為旅行社擁有，不過其戶頭沒有款項。
記者較后撥打給該旅行社負責人，惟對方手機已呈關機狀態，其公司也無人接聽。
張天賜：料有更多人中招
拿督張天賜說，該組今年內已接獲8宗被旅行社欺騙的投訴，受害者逾200人，相信這只是冰山一角，還有更多受害者。
他說，會將所有和他投訴類似案件的報案書，提呈給武吉阿曼商業罪案局和旅遊局調查有關旅行社，避免再有不法之徒利用旅行社之名，欺詐消費者。
他說，受害者因報警后，察覺到警方沒有採取行動，才從關丹下來向他求助，希望霹靂警方關注此案，並採取調查行動。

171假卡可盜刷額267萬
酒店商大計10人被捉
（檳城15日訊）偽造信用卡集團成員聚集酒店客房，商量前往外國“瘋狂”購物大計時，遭警方上門突擊，10人悉數落網。
集團已活躍2年
檳警方破獲今年最大宗偽造信用卡集團案，拉隊突擊酒店逮捕9男1女，起獲共171張每張限額5000美元（約1萬5650令吉）的偽造信用卡。若兌換成馬幣計算，嫌犯在國外可刷購高達約267萬令吉的物品。
檳州商業罪案調查組警方是于週二凌晨12時，拉隊前往市區某間酒店內的2間客房展開取締行動。
警方破門而入后搜獲大量相信是偽造信用卡，並當場逮捕在房內的9名華裔男子和一名越南籍女子。
1男嫌犯有案底
檳州總警長拿督阿育耶谷副總監今早在檳州警察總部召開記者會時，這麼指出。
他說，當時10名嫌犯分別在酒店其中兩間客房內，相信在計劃和商討著接下來的假卡犯罪活動。
他指出，根據警方初步調查，此集團已活躍2年之久，嫌犯詐騙方式是在國外大量購物，將“戰利品”帶返國后，再低價出售予他人。
他說，嫌犯多數是到泰國“掃貨”，但相信也活躍在其他亞洲國家，如香港、新加坡等。
“每張假卡限額5000美元，171張假卡共值85萬5000美元，數目驚人。”
他說，9名男嫌犯分別來自檳城、霹靂、吉打、雪蘭莪，年齡介于21至31歲之間，越南女嫌犯則26歲，來大馬已有一個月。
“其中一名男嫌犯有罪案記錄，因製造偽鈔票曾被捕歸案。”
警方已援引刑事法典第402（欺騙引誘交出財物罪名）條文及第474（持有偽造證件罪名）條文調查此案，而10名嫌犯將被延長扣留4日助查。

（森美蘭‧芙蓉14日訊）芙蓉一名商家揭露，不法之徒以“祥記殯儀服務”名義遊說“施棺”；他個人捐獻650令吉，直至報章揭發此事，才驚覺自己也是受害者。
他形容，這個疑是老千集團的不法之徒藉“祥記殯儀服務”為幌子，要求商家施棺行善，積福去除霉運；但是，事實上，捐棺是虛，詐取金錢為實。
半年前在芙活動
來自芙蓉新那旺輕工業區的塑膠廠商李清成（60歲）告訴星洲日報，以“祥記殯儀服務”為幌子的不法之徒，半年前開始在芙蓉活動，已有不少人被騙。
他表示，他自認是一名機警的人，沒想到還是成為“祥記”施棺騙局受害者。
他說，在大約半年前，一名年約28至30歲的青年自稱是代表“祥記殯儀服務”向外籌募棺木給貧困往生者，而且帶來了許多資料，包括印有怡保中央醫院的清單、照片及資料夾等。
曾致電詢問求證
“我當時心存懷疑，就立刻根據該清單的聯絡號碼打去，看是否有關殯儀館授權該青年向外籌募善款，結果電話另一方也證實此事非虛，我深信不疑，立刻捐出50令吉。”
他披露，青年上月二度到來時，他又再捐出600令吉，可是他沒有想到，當初求證的電話號碼是假的。
他補充，他向來都有到泰國施棺的習慣，而且也到一些老人院佈施，所以當老千遊說其捐棺時，他也沒有太多懷疑，在求證後就立刻簽出支票。
他說，這名青年先後於今年6月及9月騙走650令吉款項，雖然這並非是大數目，但相信已有不少人上當，只是在工業區內，就有數名商家被騙。
他也表示，這名青年的態度誠懇，口才了得，若非報章上揭發這宗事件，根本不會懷疑自己是受騙者。
他相信該青年會再度上門，到時他會報警把青年繩之以法。

交托陌生仲介申請‧22中國女子延長簽證被騙
交托陌生仲介申請‧22中國女子延長簽證被騙
2010-12-15 10:06
（吉隆坡14日訊）22名持旅遊簽證來大馬的中國女子，因一心想延長簽證繼續留在大馬找工作或升學，為貪一時之便而付1千500至3千令吉交托陌生的仲介替她們到移民局蓋章，結果受騙失財之餘，還落得被扣留的下場。
馬華公共服務及投訴部主任拿督張天賜揭露，該部今年來接獲22名中國女子被騙的個案，其中8人的護照蓋章被發現是假的。
他指出，一般上移民局只發出1個月旅遊簽證給中國遊客，若遊客有意繼續逗留，須申請延長簽證，只要理由充足，移民局一定會接受有關申請。
他說，她們都沒有通過正當管道申請延長簽證，而付錢託付仲介替他們蓋章。
“仲介騙受害者稱簽證要多長就有多長，結果他們使用假移民局印章，受害者因而中招。”
張天賜說，受騙者都是通過同鄉的介紹認識本地的仲介，後者在收了錢後，就一走了之。
他吁請中國女子不要誤信不負責任的仲介，不但花了冤枉錢，如被移民局證實持假簽證，將面對牢獄之災。

另一方面，北京市國家信訪局一行7人昨午到馬華公共服務及投訴部，其中包括駐馬中國領事館的二等秘書兼領事付鐵勝和申德春。

快速致富投訴
半年逾3000宗
（吉隆坡14日訊）首相署副部長拿督慕魯基亞揭露，公共服務及投訴局過去5年內，收到涉及30億令吉的快速致富投訴，一名投資者知道被騙后，差點自殺。
“我們無法計算到一共有多少宗快速致富的投訴，但過去6個月中，我們已接獲逾3000宗投訴。”
他指出，涉騙案的投資計劃包括預付卡機器投資，一名受害者曾在他面對揚言要自殺，因為其投資的錢，是向大耳窿借的，在受騙后，無法償還債務。
5年涉款30億
“預付卡機器公司于5年前已出現，最近6個月開始活躍，據悉該集團成員有90%是馬來人。”
他今日在國大黨總部召開記者會，呼籲公眾須透過合法管道或向銀行投資小組咨詢，以進行投資計劃。
慕魯基亞指出，受害者不應在受騙后，責怪政府。
“有關快速致富的投訴，包括50宗養殖鯰魚的投訴，涉及200萬令吉；2000宗海草投訴，涉及10億令吉；預付卡機器則有570宗投訴，涉及2280萬令吉。”
他指出，大馬公司委員會已介入調查有關快速致富投訴，並對證實詐騙的公司，採取法律行動。
“在經過委員會調查后，目前已有數間公司遭提控上庭和凍結銀行戶頭，目前我們須等候法庭的判決。”

PICTURES of scantily-clad females, with promises of a good time with the women, are being used by a syndicate to get unsuspecting men to part with their money, reported China Press.
Teaser pictures of these women are posted on social networking sites by the syndicate and anyone who wanted to view more pictures would have to pay a fee online.
Besides the pictures, the daily said, some women offered sexual services.
One woman asked interested parties to bank RM300 as a condition to meet the payee.
However, the men who banked the cash in found out they were conned when they failed to get the promised sexual service or pictures.
> The high suicide rate of late is the subject of Sin Chew Daily’s editorial.
The daily noted that in the past week, at least four suicide cases were reported.
“There are many reasons that drive a person to suicide, but the main reason offered by all the victims is that they had lost hope with world,” it said.
As of August, according to official figures, 445 people had committed suicide – the majority being men, aged between 30 and 39.
The daily urged the authorities and non-governmental organisations to join hands and find ways to arrest the unhealthy trend.

匯錢網戀男友搞投資
女郎被騙4萬5
（詩巫11日訊）華裔女郎被愛情沖昏了頭，匯錢給素未謀面網上結交的男友投資生意，被騙走4萬5000令吉血汗錢。
受害者是30歲的女子，她不久前通過互聯網，結交一名來自西馬的男子，對方自稱是做房地產生意。
女郎過后與對方在網上談戀愛，深信對方是值得托付終生的對象。
據知，該名網上男友，最近提及有一宗生意值得投資，在短期可獲取厚利，女郎深信不疑，在兩天前匯款4萬5000令吉，到對方指定的銀行戶頭。
當女郎匯出該款項后，又接獲對方通過網上通知，指該宗的生意投資必須加碼，但女郎指已沒有多余的錢，之后再也聯絡不上對方，心中不妙，今早到詩巫中央警署報案求助。

男女游說商家疑騙施棺
柔隆彭都有人受害
施棺案吞財逾2萬
（新山11日訊）“男女游說商家疑騙施棺”案雪球越滾越大，疑受這對男女要求施棺的商家，範圍擴大至吉隆坡和彭亨地區，施棺金額相信超過2萬令吉。
有關施棺騙財新聞昨晚見報后，柔佛州務大臣特別助理劉德賢接獲逾30通事主致電投訴，指經歷相同事件，其中涉及數額較大，並留下基本資料者有9人。
劉德賢在今日記者會上，指當中有3人曾向有關男女施棺2次，每次皆捐款2350令吉。
他指出，商家形容有關男女要求施棺方式相同，對男女外貌形容也如出一轍，相信為同一組人。
這些商家包括來自吉隆坡、彭亨文冬，以及柔佛笨珍、古來等和新山柔佛再也花園、武吉英達花園，分別從今年5月至本月施棺。
劉德賢指出，他將在下午3時陪同事主彭新雄到金山園警局錄口供時，將所收集商家資料，交給警方。
面對殯儀業者澄清無行騙意圖說詞，劉德賢重申，他無心存破壞或誣賴對方，而是經過一番認真調查后，掌握一定證據才公諸于世，避免大眾繼續受騙。
劉德賢今天也在記者會上，當場致電相關殯儀服務業者，惟對方以有事要忙，隨即掛斷電話；昨晚劉德賢友人也試圖致電對方，也遭對方以相同方式回應。
昨日，一對華裔年輕男女被指“發死人財”，以怡保某殯儀服務業者名義，在柔南一帶向商家要求施棺，並開出單據、死者報生紙和死亡證明書等副本，向商家要求施棺，一次葬禮費需2350令吉。
惟有商家較后發現，這對男女四處要求施棺，加上殯儀業者寄來收據信封上郵票，無郵政局蓋章，令案件疑點重重。
兒童殘障中心女義工
向相識餐飲業者下手
報導：吳淑繽
據了解，被指要施棺騙錢的29歲華裔女子，曾在新山關愛兒童殘障福利中心任義工。
其中一名商家陳福華（40歲，百萬鎮餐飲業者）向《中國報》透露，女子曾以新山關愛兒童殘障福利中心義工身分，2度到其店裡收取福利中心的捐款箱。
由于之前曾照過面，當女子在5月分向他出示2張死亡證明書，要求他施棺時，他也不疑有他，並直接開出4700令吉支票予對方。 。
他透露，女子說，死者身后事已交由壽板店處理，惟經費需由善心人援助，他才好心施棺。
以防萬一，他事后依據女子提供電話號碼，致電有關壽板店求證，得知確有此事后，才放心捐款，之后也收到壽板店開出的收據。
有消息指這對男女要求施棺時，只收支票，但陳福華說，對方表明可收現款和支票。
劉德賢透露，他曾向霹靂州的殯葬業者了解，當地有不少民眾願意施棺，相信沒有“跨州”施棺需要。
做好事鬧出大風波

（怡保11日）被指涉及“施棺騙案”的棺材業者透露，該店本是基于做好事為出發點，如今卻鬧得滿城風雨，更擔心連累友人的孩子（案中被指行騙的男女）；事實上，他們只是為幫忙施棺籌募費用，如今搞出大風波，令他極度煩惱。
業者受詢時透露，為避免居民反對，該工廠設在怡保上環18工業區，早前地址只是作為辦事處用途，如今已一併搬遷該工廠。
他說，基于該行業敏感，不便設在商業區，報章上所指的地址是早前作為辦事處用途。
業者在電話中受詢時，發表上述談話。
《中國報》記者今天前往崑崙柏達尼花園查詢，發現有關地址是雙層樓商店，所指地址是樓上的辦事處，惟大門深鎖。據附近業者透露，該門經常上鎖。

付錢遊峇厘島一場空,旅遊社騙27人逾2萬

付錢遊峇厘島一場空
旅遊社騙27人逾2萬
（吉隆坡10日訊）27名華裔男女興高采烈組團欲到峇厘島遊玩，不料墜入某旅遊社騙局，被騙走2萬6500令吉，旅遊夢碎！
這27人被騙后心有不甘，已向警方報案，欲索回血汗錢，同時準備向消費仲裁庭申訴，以討回公道。
其中一名受害者莊曉蕓（34歲，市場執行員）今日代表團友在9人陪同下，向馬華公共服務及投訴組主任拿督張天賜投訴和召開記者會陳述被騙經過。
她說，她在2009年中繳付498令吉，登記成為總公司在霹靂州一間旅行社的終生會員，較后也獲取該旅行社寄給她的證書及一些印有IATA和MATTA徽章的禮券。
“今年3月，我和朋友計劃組團到峇厘島5天4日遊，通過該旅行社包辦飛機票和安排住宿3星級酒店，每人旅費只需950令吉。”
由于旅費便宜，她先后號召27名團友，每人繳付950至逾千令吉旅費后，將總數2萬6500令吉匯給有關旅行社，帶著愉快心情等待本月9日至13日出國旅遊。
要求延期出發
“但匯款2個星期后，我漸漸發現旅行社負責人諸多理由作為借口，包括機票出現延誤問題而要我們延期旅遊。”
當她多方和有關旅行社負責人交涉仍未取得滿意答案，包括要求退款不遂后，她于本月9日向靈市白沙羅警局報案，希望警方介入調查。
她說，她和團友除了蒙受錢財損失，精神上也飽受折磨，希望借助張氏協助向消費仲裁庭申訴以討回公道。
矢對付害群之馬
馬華公共服務及投訴組主任拿督張天賜說，國內頻頻發生旅行社欺詐消費者事件，已引起旅遊部高度關注，部長已派員向他索取資料，以徹查和對付旅行社害群之馬，包括凍結執照！
他不排除一些旅行社，以印有IATA和MATTA徽章的禮券來誤導消費者，有關當局已深入調查此事。
他說，該組在今年內已接獲8宗被旅行社欺騙的投訴，受害者逾200人，相信這只是冰山一角，受害者還有更多。
“針對27名遊峇厘島不遂被騙的男女，我會向武吉阿曼商業罪案局反映此事外，旅遊部也會採取行動對付出現問題的旅行社。”

15歲男生賭世杯欠阿窿4萬案
10萬買球隊內幕消息
父揭兒子被賭球網騙錢
獨家報導：劉峻賓
（北海9日訊）“15歲男生賭世杯欠阿窿4萬案件”；該男生的父親爆料，兒子上網買球隊內幕消息，竟也花了10萬令吉，賭球網在漫天開價騙小孩！
北海一名姓宋中學生昨日被揭發，因上網賭球而向校園大耳窿借錢，欠下逾4萬令吉賭債，其父親今日再爆出，他上兒子的網上賭球戶頭查看，發現其兒子在網上購買球隊消息，竟需要花上10萬令吉。
“這數目太驚人，拿來騙小孩還可以，如有人找上門追討這筆錢我不會承認。”
他說，其兒子今年才15歲，是一名中學生，沒有事業沒有財產作抵押，賭球網為什麼可以慷慨接受兒子消費如此大？
他很肯定說，賭球網與阿窿是串通好要陷害其兒子，在賭網戶頭上做“手腳”，將消息費調高到10萬令吉。
掌握校園阿窿身分
宋爸爸也自稱是“江湖”中人，他說，欠債還錢天公地道，他本來也不想把事情弄大，只想好好還清兒子欠下的巨債，但后來發現有4至5組的大耳窿登門“白撞”，家裡的門被鎖又被潑紅漆，他昨日只好向媒體公開此事，要求警方插手。
他說，他基本上已掌握校園大耳窿的背景，并已將他們名字及就讀的中學交給威北警方，希望警方儘快采取行動。
另外，據昨日安排事主召開記者會的馬華協調員蔡德橡透露，警方已針對此事積極展開調查行動，並掌握了3至4名疑在校園放貸及追債人士的身分。

欲見英國網友被騙2500 退休教師中美人計

欲見英國網友被騙2500
退休教師中美人計
網絡用戶一旦收到陌生女網友的“交友電郵”時，必須理智分辨其真偽，以免受騙破財。
（瓜拉登嘉樓9日訊）美人計奏效！
退休男教師色心起，為與初識的英國籍美女網友相見，竟然失去理智，結果短短5天內，反被詐騙集團騙走2500令吉。
事主于本月2日在登州日底市住家，接獲一名自稱為“愛麗絲．葛列”（Alice Gurley）的英國籍美女的電郵，對方聲稱30余歲，要與事主為友。
官員致電促匯錢
退休男教師非常驚喜，並立即回覆；兩天后，愛麗絲再次回郵，佯言欲到我國與他見面。
登州警方商業罪案調查組主任阿茲米阿當警監披露，本月6日，事主接獲愛麗絲的手機短訊，對方要求他致電聯絡她。
他受詢時說，當事主聯絡上愛麗絲時，對方聲稱由于行李超重，在吉隆坡國際機場被關稅局官員扣押，要求事主協助。
“過了不久，一名自稱關稅局官員的男子致電事主，指示事主繳付7000令吉，以擔保愛麗絲外出。”
阿茲米警監說，事主只有能力繳付2500令吉，匯錢后不久，再次接獲男子來電，指示事主再匯入3800令吉。
“此時，事主才如夢初醒，懷疑自己受騙，並于隔天向警方投報。”
阿茲米警監說，媒體已多次報導類似案件，但還是有人被詐騙集團騙財。
“至今，警方還未扣捕任何人，我們會援引刑事法典第420條文調查此案。”
“愛麗絲”專騙老男人
據了解，自稱是“愛麗絲．葛列”（Alice Gurley）的英國籍美女，專門發出“交友電郵”給退休的男網友或樂齡人士，目的是騙錢。
有跡象顯示，此詐騙集團成員至少3名，一人聲稱是“愛麗絲．葛列”；另兩名一男一女巫裔成員，則扮演機場關稅局官員，任務是勸服受騙者把款項匯進他們指定的銀行戶頭。
根據有此遭遇的49歲蔡姓男讀者向本報透露，他也曾在上月初突然收到“愛麗絲．葛列”的“交友電郵”，聲稱單槍匹馬從英國曼徹斯特乘搭班機，飛抵吉隆坡國際機場，並隨電郵附上行程表，並要他提供手機號碼以及前往機場接待。
他追述，當“愛麗絲”聲稱的班機抵達機場后不久，他就接獲她的來電，對方以英式英語申訴在吉隆坡國際機場，被關稅局官員扣押，要求協助。
“不久，一名自稱是機場關稅局官員的巫裔女子，以國語道出愛麗絲因為攜帶總值逾百萬令吉的英鎊，而遭扣押，要求我繳付7000令吉，以擔保愛麗絲外出。”
蔡先生說，由于他曾在報章閱讀到類似的網絡騙案新聞，因此以身上沒有錢為由，打發對方。對方見詭計不得逞后，便知難而退。

短訊流傳擄姦新招術
女孩哭求送回家勿上當
獨家報導：梁國俊
（吉隆坡6日訊）“當你在街上看到陌生小女孩，哭著要求你送她回家時，千萬不要上當，因為這是強姦黨的最新幹案手法！”
最近國內流傳一則手機警惕短訊，以英文書寫的內容呼籲那些獨自上班或上學的女性小心，如果在街上看到一名正在哭泣的小女孩，向你出示一個地址，要求你送她回家時，千萬不要照做。
短訊內容還說，這是強姦黨的最新幹案手法，當公眾遇到這種情況時，應該第一時間把該名小女孩載到警局，交由警方處理，以免墜入不法之徒設下的圈套。
非警方發出
根據短訊內容，這則提醒公眾的短訊，是由一名自稱武吉阿曼警察總部重案組蘇曼古馬助理警監傳發出來的，旨在要求公眾廣泛傳送給所有家人和親友，作為警戒之用。

KOTA KINABALU: A lovestruck teenager from Rawang eloped with her boyfriend to Sabah but quickly realised her mistake when she ended up being his family’s “maid”.
Reality sank in fast for the 16-year-old not long after she left her family and followed her 24-year-old boyfriend back to his hometown – he sold off her handphone and gold ring for money and kept her as a maid in his foster family’s home in Kelombong here since Nov 9.
She had fallen head over heels in love with the man whom she met just a few months ago after they both worked in the same catering company.
The girl fled from her boyfriend’s house recently and lodged a police report at the Menggatal station, seeking help to get back to her family in Selangor.
The girl, who was sweet talked by the man to follow him back to Sabah, left her home with only her clothes on her back and came over to Kota Kinabalu on an AirAsia flight a few days after running away from home.
She is believed to be a school dropout. The young couple decided to elope after the girl’s mother objected to their relationship.
Police have arrested the man and have contacted their counterparts in Rawang where the girl’s mother had lodged a missing persons report almost immediately after her daughter left home.
On Saturday, the police placed the badly-shaken teenager at the Bukit Harapan home pending efforts to take her home as they probed further into possible charges of abduction.
Bukit Harapan housemother Anne Keyworth described the girl as intelligent, adding that she was coping well with her current condition.
“Luckily, she had the sense to go to a police station for help and not just wander around and mix with wrong company,” she said.
She said the girl, who is the eldest of four siblings, missed her family and just wanted to go home.

Drug syndicates using Facebook to recruit young women as mules By LESTER KONG

Drug syndicates using Facebook to recruit young women as mules
By LESTER KONG
The drug mule situation is turning “from bad to worse”, says Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Richard Riot Jaem.
KUALA LUMPUR: Social networking site Facebook is fast becoming a hunting ground for fresh drug mules by international syndicates.
The Foreign Ministry is alarmed that more varsity-age Malaysian girls using Facebook were being lured by drug syndicates’ promises of significant rewards to ferry drugs for them, said deputy minister Datuk Richard Riot Jaem.
“Most victims are befriended through Facebook. It (Facebook) can be a good friend. But it’s also a dangerous friend,” Richard told journalists during a courtesy call on Thursday.
Richard said that the ministry had found that most of the victims were befriended by syndicate members of African origin.
He explained that syndicates, after befriending their victims, would offer to pay for ‘holidays’ overseas, usually China, Japan and Latin America.
Some would even offer their victims thousands of ringgit in pocket money to spend on the trip.
The victims would also be asked to meet a ‘friend’ who would be the tour guide at the destination.
“And Nigerians and South Africans were involved in most cases, sad to say,” he said.
Richard added that photos provided by victims of their Facebooks ‘friends’ who asked for help to carry their bags or deliver a ‘gift’ to people in other countries “were not very good looking and black”.
International survey firm TNS last month reported that Malaysians had the most ‘friends’ on Facebook and spent nine hours daily on average surfing the site of more than 500 millions members.
On the Ministry’s response, he said that a weekly programme on RTM was being aired to raise awareness among young people.
“We have a slot on RTM where we provide advice on various issues for youth. But we stress a need for Malaysians to be very cautious when going overseas,” he said.
He also urged the group of 20 local and foreign journalists from the Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei, Uzbekistan and Mongolia under the Malaysian Press Institute’s yearly Fellowship programme to raise awareness of Asians being victimised by international drug syndicates.
Richard said the drug mule situation was turning “from bad to worse”.
He said 785 of 1560 Malaysians arrested overseas since 1991 were drug mules of which 149 were women.
Of those, 70 have been sentenced to death for trafficking of illicit drugs.
The latest case was 22-year-old Cristina Luke Niju from Sabah in final semester at a polytechnic in Sarawak who was arrested with 1.4 kg of narcotics in Guangzhou, China last month.
“Young people especially girls must be more cautious. They can be easy prey to syndicates and their empty promises,” he said.
He also urged Malaysians travelling out of the country not to be taken in by persuasive people requesting help to carry their bags because of “excessive baggage weight”.

Many ways to ‘wash’ or tamper with cheques
By ISABELLE LAI
isabellelai@thestar.com.my
PETALING JAYA: Fraudsters can use many ways to “wash” cheques or tamper with them to make fraudulent withdrawals.
A representative from a leading producer of writing, drawing and colouring products said the culprits could use erasers, ethanol or acetone-based chemicals, bleach and other chemicals to “wash” or tamper with the cheques.
Faber Castell marketing manager Andrew Pang, who was asked about the recent wave of “cheque hijacking” complaints, where victims had so far lost a combined total of over RM50,000 to fraudsters, said using a gel pen was the most cost-effective way of preventing “washing” of cheques.
“The gel ink permeates the paper and cannot be erased, whereas the wrong ink technology would easily wash away when such chemicals are used,” he said.
“Gel pens will prevent cheque fraud from the common ways of cheque washing,” he said.
Pang said the company was working with a local private bank to promote usage of the pen, and was in discussions with other local financial institutions as well.
The Star reported yesterday that numerous complaints have surfaced that cheques sent by mail had been intercepted and tampered with, resulting in senders losing money to fraudsters.
The MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said he received five such cases so far.

Hello Mr Kc Goh
Nice hearing from you once again. I'm so impressed with your opinion on coming over to Malaysia in person. This has shown me your willingness and ready to administrate this great investment dreams. I have checked my schedule and believe I can make it to Malaysia towards ending of this month, form 30th of Nov. It should be a week or two visit to Malaysia.
So, during the days in Malaysia, we can familiarize, have a table meeting discussion on how to start off by meeting the authorities in-charge of Land properties, building planning and estimate the cost of this project. Again, we can have an agreement at British High Commission Malaysia which can abide us together in this project, since I have made up my mind to have you as my Contact person/Manager in Malaysia. I believe you have valid Passport to make a trip, in-case it requires you can come over United Kingdom for signing of necessary documents as Royal Court of Justice may requested. You don't have to worry about the trip as I will shoulder all the expenses as my manager.
Finally, in the view of my coming, I will like to solicit your effort to arrange a hotel accommodation for 3persons (my attorney, Architecture and myself). Three executive rooms, breakfast inclusive for 1week starting from 30th Nov.2010, and car hiring that will serve us during the period. Please, I want this arrangement to be done before my coming, get the estimate cost of these, and I will see how to get money across to you to pay for them.
Looking forward to read from you.

Dear Mr Taylor Brown,
There are a lot of business opportunities in Malaysia.
You can start a restaurant chain and that also can make lots of money.
If you are serious about doing business in Malaysia, you need to come down to Kuala Lumpur and we meet and we can talk more.
If you are thinking of relocation, you can apply for a Malaysia, My second home visa and stay in Malaysia for 10 years and doing business here.
You said you wanted to build a hotel in Malaysia. What kind of hotel? How much budget do you have?
What business do you have in UK? How are you going to move your fund to Malaysia where Malaysia, like other countries, has exchange control, meaning you need to declare and the central bank need to approve if the money coming is more than one million ringgit.
Regards,
KC Goh

Hello Mr Kc Goh
Greetings from Wales, UK,
Thanks for your responds; actually I will use this opportunity to tell you more about myself. I am a former Canadian gold miner in Middle East on Canadian Contracts/Projects signed by Canada Ministry of Natural Resources. I quit the job as miner and moved to Wales, UK to start up my empire of business as a Freelancer because, Life in mines is quite a dangerous issue as some of miners die in mines, while the government and its cohort enjoy the proceeds at the expenses of our lives.
So, in my recent message on WAYN, I believe I explained to you the nature of business investment I am wishing to carry on in your country. And also requested, if there are other business sectors that can benefit both of us, you have the solid background ideas, and can generate 10% Annual Return on Investment, that I am ready for that.
According to your email started Real Estate as opinion. So, can enlighten me more about the business in Malaysia?
Please I would also like to know more about you as: Name, Address, Phone and Occupation to proceed.
Looking forward to read from you.

Adequan scam
Hello Dear,
First of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Miss Jane, I'm from England, United Kingdom. I'm working as a marketing consultant/supplier with some animal Farm Companies here in England. I'm specifically into buying and supplying of Vaccines and Immunology products, I normally travel to Malaysia where I purchase this product and supply to our company here in UK.
The name of the product is Adequan 1..m injection Rx/equine. The Adequan is a Vaccine medicine used for treating animals, such as Horses, Cattle, Cows, Dogs and etc. There has been a high level of demand in our company for the product. The board of directors normally send me to Malaysia to purchase the Vaccine. The medicine is very cheap in Malaysia compared to U.S and Europe, in U.S. and Europe, per carton of the product cost $5,000 to $6,500 while in Malaysia I only buy it for $2200.. (all prices are quoted in US Dollars).
I was suppose to go to Malaysia again this month, but due to my health condition I can't make it. I'm presently hospitalized due to a car accident. Now the board of Directors want to appoint a new staff as the purchasing manager to go over to Malaysia and purchase the product. They have asked me to give them the contacts of the supplier, but I don't want to disclose to our company the direct contacts of the supplier, because I don't want them to find out the real cost of the product. I normally purchase the products from the Malaysian supplier at the rate of $2200 per carton, while I supply to our company at the rate of $4000 per carton.
I'm contacting you because I am looking for a dependable individual that I can trust, someone who will be willing and honest enough to carry out this transaction with diligence to the best of his/her ability. Our company normally place order from a minimum of 50 cartons to a maximum of 100 cartons in every purchase. and it's every one or two months supply depending on the demand here in UK........
Please If this business proposition offends your moral and ethic values, do accept my sincere apology and ignore it. But If you are interested please contact me so that I can inform you on what next to do.
Best Regard,
Ms Jane

徐東源在新聞發布會上公開受騙經過時，又接獲老千的電話要求繼續把款項匯入“國家銀行戶口”，左為黃美美。（圖：星洲日報）
（森美蘭‧芙蓉15日訊）冒充國家銀行的詐騙集團再次出擊，又一名商家不慎上當，被騙走1萬3千令吉！
來自拉杭的徐東源（53歲）說，他被騙走逾萬令吉後還懵然不知，直到女兒提醒下才知道被騙，因此今日向萬茂州議員黃美美求助。
【世華‧社會】11月11日光棍節，中國大學生偷筷子求“脫光”！
指欠下8千令吉卡債
他說，他於11月13日接到一通電話，對方自稱信用卡中心負責人，指他在砂拉越申請的信用卡幾個月沒繳付欠款，共欠下8千令吉。
他表示，他每個月都繳清欠款，也未曾在砂拉越申請信用卡，對方卻言之鑿鑿指其身份可能被盜用，還提供國家銀行電話，要他立刻申報，否則將欠下巨款。
“我不疑有詐打電話去查問，接線員轉給一名叫SAM的華人跟進我的投訴，然後我告訴他有關一切的銀行存款等，慢慢被引入騙局。”
過程逼真沒起疑心
他說，由於一切都很逼真，他竟然毫不懷疑，對方聲稱要在其銀行賬戶做一些設定，讓國家銀行暫時接管其賬戶，以免被盜用，他也依照老千指示到兩間銀行，並把1萬3千898令吉18仙現款轉匯到一名馬來人的戶頭。
他指出，老千要他去到銀行後就依照其指示進行設定，最後是把錢存入只有11個號碼的馬來女子戶頭，老千說一般戶頭有12個號碼，11個號碼的戶頭是國家銀行的專用戶頭，而該馬來女子是國家銀行高層。
他表示，他晚上回到馬六甲家鄉，把事情告訴女兒後，才知道上了老千當，立刻報案，但老千還以為他仍然懵然不知，還一直打電話給他，以詐取更多錢。
黃美美：詐騙集團製造假電話號碼
黃美美說，根據徐東源提供的資料，所謂的信用卡中心電話03-23300231及國家銀行電話03-27727306，都是不存在的電話號碼，馬電訊公司也沒有這組號碼，卻不知道詐騙集團是用甚麼方式製造這些假號碼。
她說，有關電話是可撥通的，而且還有錄音指示，與真正的國家銀行無異，讓人容易上當，幾乎每個步驟都是精心設計，老千似乎清楚國家銀行的操作。
“國家銀行證實4月22日已接獲數宗投報，即不法集團利用國家銀行名義行騙，而國家銀行的服務專線只有03-26988044及1300885465，其他號碼很可能是詐騙集團製造的。”
13日報案查案官20日才錄供
她說，如果公眾接到任何電話或信函指銀行戶頭出現問題，最好親自去銀行查詢，以免被詐騙。
另一方面，黃美美也對警方在這起事件上不積極的態度感到失望，她說，徐東源於11月13日晚上報案，但查案官卻於11月20日才向他錄取口供，這顯示警方不重視類似案件，才導致不法集團繼續逍遙法外。

（森美蘭‧芙蓉15日訊）冒充國家銀行的詐騙集團再次出擊，又一名商家不慎上當，被騙走1萬3千令吉！
來自拉杭的徐東源（53歲）說，他被騙走逾萬令吉後還懵然不知，直到女兒提醒下才知道被騙，因此今日向萬茂州議員黃美美求助。

指欠下8千令吉卡債
他說，他於11月13日接到一通電話，對方自稱信用卡中心負責人，指他在砂拉越申請的信用卡幾個月沒繳付欠款，共欠下8千令吉。
他表示，他每個月都繳清欠款，也未曾在砂拉越申請信用卡，對方卻言之鑿鑿指其身份可能被盜用，還提供國家銀行電話，要他立刻申報，否則將欠下巨款。
“我不疑有詐打電話去查問，接線員轉給一名叫SAM的華人跟進我的投訴，然後我告訴他有關一切的銀行存款等，慢慢被引入騙局。”

Confessions of a scammer
Reports by STEVEN DANIEL, DESIREE TRESA GASPER, AUSTIN CAMOENS, IVAN LOH, JOSHUA FOONG and JOSEPH LOH
KUALA LUMPUR: Some scratch-and-win companies are already getting their salespersons to hit the road and push Chinese New Year packages, a former worker with one such firm said.
Tze Meng (not his real name) also told The Star how he first became involved in the trade and how such companies operated.
He said he started off when he answered an advertisement for a sales job in a Chinese daily.
“The returns or commissions are good; sometimes we get up to 25% of whatever sales we manage from those who supposedly won the scratch and win or draw.
“If we bring in 25 customers, we get at least RM3,000 and this can be achieved within three days.”
Tze Meng revealed that most of the salesmen were from the rural areas, who were naive and thought they could hit the sales target by working hard.
During orientation, Tze Meng said the manager would teach the new recruits how to convince customers to buy their products.
“The ‘lecturer’ made it seem easy to make thousands of ringgit and said everything was legal.
“We were handed 20 cards – 10 with prizes and the others with the words ‘Thank You’ on it,” he added.
Tze Meng said they would be taken to locations such as a shopping complexes, bus terminals, LRT stations, hypermarkets and sometimes outside banks.
“We were taught how to target our customers. If a person is young and we think that they do not have the money then we offer them the ‘Thank You’ card to scratch.
“If the person is older and looks well off, we use the cards that offer prizes like electrical items, energy water system, home theatre system or digital stove worth between RM4,000 and RM5,000,” he added.
Tze Meng said the winner would be brought to the office where a supervisor would give a briefing about the “other prizes” he or she could win; and how much to fork out to redeem them.
They would also be lured into believing they could win a Toyota Altis, Persona, Perodua Viva, 42-inch Plasma TV, LCD TV, Honda motorcycle, refrigerator and video camera.
Before that, the victims would be asked to fill up an agreement form.
“The fine print states that the victims bought the items voluntarily.
“The goods bought were also not returnable,” he added.
However, in most cases, the lucrative prizes never materialised and the customers ended up owning a cheap mattress after forking out thousands.

Hassan Abu Bakar's story--another scam in operation in Malaysia. Beware
I have received this letter from one Hassan Abu Bakar in my e-mail. To me, it is another scam in operation in Malaysia. If you believe and respond, this guy will ask you to come out with money to pay for the tax. When you paid, he will keep asking until you cannot pay and he will disappear. You will never see the strong box that contained 6.5 million USD clean cash because it never existed, anyway. It is just in words and in Hassan Abu Bakar's imagination.
If you have time, read the letter. I have received similar letters and I will put them up when I have the time.(You see his own name also can spell wrong. Hassan becomes Hassah.)

女郎假結婚真騙財 丈夫親友損失30萬
女郎假結婚真騙財
丈夫親友損失30萬
更新: August 7, 2010 23:54
〈吉隆坡7日訊）一名被指至少5次以假結婚，欺騙男方感情和錢財的華裔女郎，日前再以如出一轍的手法，騙走一名周姓男子親友的30萬令吉。
周姓男子是通過面子書認識該女子，交往1個月后，女子聲稱懷孕，結果被她以“家人”身分，輕易騙走款項。
這名女子年僅25歲，曾多次以假結婚手法，即不願和男方注冊，只要舉行華人傳統婚禮儀式，過去已有6名男子墜入其騙局。
借錢投資生意
疑遭騙婚的周姓男子的姐姐說，其弟今年3月在社交網站認識女子后，便相約出來見面，不久便主動和人同居。
有關女子初時表現乖巧，她聲稱懷孕時拒絕由醫生驗證，但同意和男友辦華人傳統婚禮，還拍了結婚照。
“弟弟于今年5月在沙巴舉辦婚禮時，對方一名親友都沒出現，引人懷疑，她卻解釋碰巧有親人去世，不便出席喜宴。”
周小姐說，回到隆市后，女方準備辦婚宴時，她又告知一名叔叔患癌去世，不宜辦喜酒。
“婚后的她開始以丈夫名譽，向親友借錢指要投資做生意，前后向家人騙了30萬令吉。”
周小姐說，她本身被騙走1萬5000令吉，其丈夫損失1萬3000令吉，對方的理由都是投資美容院和服裝店等，卻沒有回酬，開始引起家人懷疑。
“加上她的肚子沒有變化，又拒絕和弟弟一名好友的女友見面，最后查證下，才知道是遇上一個曾被報章報導多次，以假結婚騙人錢財的女老千。”

Two engineers fleeced in dispenser scam
Two engineers fleeced in dispenser scam

JOHOR BARU: Lured by high returns, two engineers applied for nine credit cards between them and invested a total of RM42,000 in a get-rich-quick scheme – only to find that they had been fleeced.
K. Thorajoo, 32, and Lee Poh Kheong, 39, who were lured by the attractive profit figures presented by a water dispenser company even used up all their life savings.
Lee, coaxed into signing a contract at the company’s office in Taman Molek at the end of last year, said he was so convinced about the tempting offer that he persuaded Thorajoo to invest in it also.
“The company promised us a lucrative profit of at least RM1,000 per month, but all we earned was RM200 per month.
“After a few months, I sensed something was amiss so I called the sales representative about my money and he even scolded me for being unreasonable,” Lee said, adding that he later found the office had ceased operations two months ago.
Thorajoo, a father of one, said he did not even receive the water dispensing machine after paying such a hefty amount.
He said their contract required them to pay the company RM1,400 monthly for the rental of the machine, but he stopped paying after three months when he did not receive the keys to his machine.
“I am now in debt for about RM15,000 and I hope the banks will be lenient and understand our situation,” Thorajoo told reporters during a press conference organised by Johor Baru MCA public complaints bureau deputy chief Michael Tay here.
Tay urged the public not to be so gullible as to sign up for such schemes.
Seri Alam OCPD Supt Roslan Zainuddin, confirmed both men had lodged reports and requested anyone with information to call the police hotline on 07-2212999 or the nearest police station.

Beware of scams when using alibaba.com
Beware of scams when using alibaba.com
Top 10 things you should know when using alibaba. The list is in a random order.
dont buy electronics from alibaba
The $300 Nokia E90 they are selling is a cheap knock off. And the $20 ipod they are selling is nothing more than a cheap mp3 player. In most countries the consignment will not even pass the custom clearing due to copy right infringement laws. Not only you will lose your money, but there is a high chance of you have to spend few years proving your innocence in courts.
Never use western union to send money to alibaba suppliers
Most of the alibaba suppliers will ask you to send money through western union. What ever the reason they give, you never do that. Once you send money through western union you have no control over it. It is very easy to scam people using western union. Early days I have been a victim of a $2000 fraud through western union. I do not want you to lose your hard earned money. When you see western union as the only payment method listed, do your self a favor and run away from that supplier.
Never fall in to fake sample images from alibaba sellers.
alibaba stocks photo
The scam sellers in alibaba will send you images of stock to prove that they have the goods in hand.
For example if you are looking to buy a nokia N95 they will send you images of 100’s of Finland made Nokia N95’s.
But I have experienced,same images are circulated through dozen different suppliers. Either they all are a part of one scam ring or they all have obtained the image from the same source.
alibaba fake phones
When you ask for a sample image always ask to write your name in a piece a paper and take the snaps with it. Just like I have done here.
The image with my partner’s name on it is a fake N95.
The sample images can reveal you a big story. but Don’t trust the supplier just from looking at the sample image. He may have few quality collections of stocks. But that does not mean he will send it your way.
Do not trust the EMS tracking number from alibaba sellers.
Most of the suppliers in alibaba tent to do shipments through EMS. They will send you a tracking number saying that they have done their part of the deal. It is very easy to create a fake EMS tracking number. So be alert until you receive the goods to your hand.
Never send money to a personal bank account to an alibaba seller.
Most of the sellers will ask you to send money to their “Bank of china accounts”. When they send you the bank details look for the bank name. If it is a personnel name avoid sending a cent. If they are a established entity they must be using a business account and should use them in their business transactions. If this is not the case you might be sending money to a Chinese who is scanning you in his pygamas.
If the price of a alibaba seller seems too good to be true, it is too good to be true.
Be rational when making a decision. There is no way that a supplier can offer you a $700 worth product at $200. You will be surprised how many suppliers have these types of prices. True, alibaba is a very good place to find products at filthy cheap prices. But their products do not come out of magic. So do your due diligence when the supplier sends you the quotation.
Don’t fall for samples sent by alibaba sellers
The supplier may have sent you a real sample. (Paid / Free). That does not mean you can trust him with a $10,000 deal. There are suppliers who send you real samples for quality products. But when you place the big order you will either get scammed or will receive a big consignment of crap. So if the supplier cannot meat other credentials, do not trust him just because he sent you a sample.
alibaba scam companies
Scammers know most people are intelligent enough to do a Google search about the company before doing any transaction with them. So some scammers use reputed company names to scam you. Most of mid level and small scale buyers do not go beyond the level of online contacts when making correspondence. Once we search about their company we will see only good things about them. That’s why we must always send money to business accounts. If the account name is different from the company name they are pretending, Red flag; Run away.
visit the alibaba companies in china
Alibaba is not consisting of only Chinese suppliers. Even I do have an active supplier’s account with them. But most of the supplier’s and the most profitable one’s are from china. If your order level value is over $5000 try to visit the supplier at least once. There are cheap trips available to china if you are bit tight on your budget. Once you verify the supplier you do not have to make repetitive visits.
alibaba forum
Before selecting suppliers post your choice in the alibaba forum. There is a section dedicated to reveal scam and fraudulent suppliers. It is always better to do a double check in the forum before making that transaction. I have found many helpful members in the forum. One person eventually became one of my partners and we both together have pulled off so many deals in the past 2 years.
Can the scammers over weigh the importance of alibaba. Definetely NO. You cannot find a better market place if you are running a business. Unless you like selling/buying one item at a time on ebay. If you apply the knowledge you gather from this post and use your intelligence, You will be able to get the best out from alibaba b2b market place. If you are running a small online business I highly encourage you to start something off line too. You have a much better chance competing at your local area rather than competing against thousand of international marketers.

True, alibaba is a very good place to find products at filthy cheap prices. But their products do not come out of magic. So do your due diligence when the supplier sends you the quotation.
Don’t fall for samples sent by alibaba sellers
The supplier may have sent you a real sample. (Paid / Free). That does not mean you can trust him with a $10,000 deal. There are suppliers who send you real samples for quality products. But when you place the big order you will either get scammed or will receive a big consignment of crap. So if the supplier cannot meat other credentials, do not trust him just because he sent you a sample.
alibaba scam companies
Scammers know most people are intelligent enough to do a Google search about the company before doing any transaction with them. So some scammers use reputed company names to scam you. Most of mid level and small scale buyers do not go beyond the level of online contacts when making correspondence. Once we search about their company we will see only good things about them. That’s why we must always send money to business accounts. If the account name is different from the company name they are pretending, Red flag; Run away.
visit the alibaba companies in china
Alibaba is not consisting of only Chinese suppliers. Even I do have an active supplier’s account with them. But most of the supplier’s and the most profitable one’s are from china. If your order level value is over $5000 try to visit the supplier at least once. There are cheap trips available to china if you are bit tight on your budget. Once you verify the supplier you do not have to make repetitive visits.
alibaba forum
Before selecting suppliers post your choice in the alibaba forum. There is a section dedicated to reveal scam and fraudulent suppliers. It is always better to do a double check in the forum before making that transaction. I have found many helpful members in the forum. One person eventually became one of my partners and we both together have pulled off so many deals in the past 2 years.
Can the scammers over weigh the importance of alibaba. Definetely NO. You cannot find a better market place if you are running a business. Unless you like selling/buying one item at a time on ebay. If you apply the knowledge you gather from this post and use your intelligence, You will be able to get the best out from alibaba b2b market place. If you are running a small online business I highly encourage you to start something off line too. You have a much better chance competing at your local area rather than competing against thousand of international marketers.

国际老千钻政府部门漏洞‧伪造马印密件诈财
国际老千钻政府部门漏洞‧伪造马印密件诈财
2010-07-16 10:28
（吉隆坡）梳邦再也与沙亚南消费人协会主席拿督贾谷佐治揭露，有人伪造及冒用大马和印度政府之间的机密文件，取得公众信任及涉嫌多宗大型国际诈骗案。
他周四（7月15日）呈交备忘录予国阵后后座议员理事会署理主席拿督邦莫达后，要求调查政府部门之间的漏洞，也希望国阵后座议员理事会向印度政府查明，并取得答复。
贾谷佐治在备忘录中举例，一名自称为泰米尔纳德邦首席部长亲戚的大马人，涉嫌在过去10年间透过芙蓉通往金马士的双轨电动火车计划和3G电信执照，向个人、承包商或公司索取逾500万令吉。
“我希望政府查出这名人士的真实身份，为何他能够自由穿梭政府部门，甚至取得政府机密文件和证书。”
邦莫达表示将尽力提供协助，以查出两国政府之间合作出现的问题，避免影响大马的声誉。

The dark truth about a sweet-talking Casanova
The dark truth about a sweet-talking Casanova

hansean@thestar.com.my
Tuesday July 13, 2010
KUALA LUMPUR: He is neither good looking nor young, but this sweet-talking Casanova has managed to cheat at least seven women of nearly RM400,000.
The 41-year-old Singaporean, known as Dennis Lim, has a habit of preying on women through the social networking website, ahmoi.com.
That’s him!: Chong and Qi Qi checking out a picture of Lim at the department chief’s office in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
One of his victims, Qi Qi, lost RM294,662 within the seven months of their “friendship.”
“I was not really attracted to him. He was really aggressive and he made the first move online,” said the 34-year-old businesswoman from Penang, who sought the help of MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong at his office yesterday.
She said Lim claimed to be a factory manager and knew how to take advantage of her weakness.
“He used sob stories to get my sympathy.
“For instance, he claimed his stepmother was admitted into ICU; that his ex-boss had delayed his business reimbursements and that he had met with a road accident before Chinese New Year.
“I felt sorry for him and wanted to help,” she said, adding that she allowed Lim to use her credit cards when he visited her in Penang in October last year.
Qi Qi started getting suspicious in March and lodged two police reports in Penang and another two in Singapore.
She later traced Lim’s caller history from a sub-line she started for him, and found six other women in Malaysia whom Lim had cheated for money and sex.
“His modus operandi is to get acquainted with lonely, single women online and then slowly work his way into their pockets with his sob stories,” Qi Qi said, adding that the victims had refused to make police reports against Lim.
Chong urged the other victims to come forward so that he could assist them.
“I will take this case to the Malaysian Interpol and relevant authorities,” he said.
He also reminded women to be wary of meeting strangers online.

Beware the online con

PETALING JAYA: It is important for women to check the background of a person they meet over Internet social networking websites to avoid being cheated.
“You need to check the background of the person to know whether the person is genuine or just a sweet talker. Whatever is posted by the man should be vetted thoroughly like calling up a company to see if he really works there,” said Wanita MCA Cupid Space project executor Peggy Lim (pic).
She also cautioned women not to rush into making a commitment.
“You need at least eight months to know a person. There is no need to rush into things,” she added.
“Feelings are a huge emotional trigger and for a woman, it is important to control these feelings when the courtship has only been going on for a short while.”
She said that among the reasons that women were scammed by online Casanovas was due to loneliness and desperation as they were afraid they would not be able to find a companion and accepted “any man who fancies them”
“The essential tools to sustain a relationship are patience and to earn the trust needed,” she said.
In June, a 47-year-old housewife said that she lost her savings and money she borrowed from her family and friends totalling RM1.2mil to a con man that she befriended on the Internet.
The man had claimed to be a Briton.
Meanwhile, MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said he received complaints from 18 women on cheating scams with losses amounting to more than RM2.4mil since 2007.
He urged women to be wary of such con men.
Chong said the complaints that he received had a similar modus operandi – the men would get to know the women via Internet and send them expensive gifts before demanding for money.
Chong added that most of the victims were single mothers, divorcees and unmarried women.
“The con men also introduced themselves as businessmen, sons of senior politicians and professionals like engineers,” he said.
Chong said he believed the men involved in the scam were foreigners although some may have had the help of locals.

国外刷假卡名牌半价卖 破不法集团捕11人
国外刷假卡名牌半价卖
破不法集团捕11人
更新: July 9, 2010 18:19
（莎阿南9日讯）警方侦破一个假卡集团，逮捕11名以假信用卡到外国刷卡购名牌带回国，再以半价出售牟利的华裔男女。
假卡集团成员是在国内制造几可乱真的信用卡，写上本身姓名，但都是盗用外国人士资料，轻易瞒天过海。他们在持有这些假卡后，都是到外国购买名牌货品，带回大马以不到一半原价贱卖，做无本生意。
警方是在3项行动中先后逮捕11名男女，包括一名疑是集团首脑，并起获84张多数外资银行的假信用卡，宣布侦破不法集团的活动。
不过，警方相信还在幕后操纵的党羽正在潜逃，刻在全力追查他们下落。
雪州商业罪案调查组主任张婉萍助理总监今日说，警方于上月19日在吉隆坡国际机场出境处，逮捕一名华裔男子，男子当时准备搭机到土耳其伊斯坦布尔，警方从他身上起获13张伪造信用卡。
盗用外籍人士资料
警方较后趁胜追击，4天后再率队突击莎阿南31区一间公寓单位，逮捕5名华裔男子，其中一名嫌犯相信是假卡集团的首脑。
“初步调查，该公寓是假卡集团租借的单位，警方在屋内仅起获5张假卡，未有其他发现，如制作假卡原料或机械等物品。”
张婉萍在总部召开记者会，公布破案详情。
她指出，警方昨早6时再展开另一轮逮捕行动，到吉隆坡国际机场埋伏，成功伏击到5名刚从伊斯坦布尔疯狂盗刷后，带着大批国际知名物品返国的华裔男女，包括一对夫妇。
她说，警方当场从5名嫌犯身上起获66张假卡，初步调查，这些假卡都是在本地制造，写上嫌犯的名字，不过都是盗用外籍人士的资料。
66 假卡豪刷10万名牌货
5名被捕男女，带着66张假卡到土耳其盗刷10万令吉，选购物品都是国际知名品牌的手表、衣裤、鞋子和包包，尽显豪气！
初步调查，假卡集团成员活跃3个月，每次到外国大肆盗刷后，带着大批名牌物品返回大马，以超低价格出售，从中牟利。
据悉，被嫌犯贱卖的品牌货物包括劳力士手表，原本一枚价值1万令吉的手表，当他们成功带出境后，仅以不到5000令吉价格出售。
警方查悉，被捕的11名嫌犯，数人拥有犯罪前科，已被延扣，目前是在刑事法典420欺骗条文下受调查。

高薪招聘逾10人上当

（新山9日讯）新加坡船厂招聘骗局！负责人借“填表格”为由，收取100新元（马币约240令吉）后，突告失踪，逾十名青年苦等不到面试，惊觉受骗。
疑诈骗集团刊登“新加坡某大型船厂聘请技术员”的广告内容，指称薪金可达3500至5000新元（约8400令吉至1万2000令吉）、包吃包住，还有公司津贴及优厚福利等为饵，诱使入世未深的年轻应征者上当。
有一批青年因被高薪所吸引，不约而同缴付一笔100新元的申请费后，发现有关负责人竟闹失踪。
其中一名青年郑氏（20岁，铁厂员工）向《中国报》阐述，他于6月25日（周五）看到报章的分类广告，深受吸引，立即致电联络有关负责人。
据悉，有关负责人“Ivy”自称在新加坡事务繁忙，无法亲自过来处理及收取“表格费”，故让友人代劳。
“对方要求我在26日到士姑来五福城一家广场的快餐店见面，同时需缴交100新元的'表格费'，才能作出申请，可是，当天来的却是一名自称是'Ivy '朋友的年轻男子。”
担心身分被盗用
郑氏不疑有他，付费填写表格后，再被安排于7月5日在士姑来某油站集合，以便前往新加坡应征，讵料当天苦等3小时，不见有人现身接载。
“当时，我等了很久，之后发现还有约6位年龄介于20至30岁左右的青年也在油站待了很久，于是趋前与他们打招呼，才恍然大悟，大家都中同一名老千的计。”
郑氏除了揭发诈骗集团的行径，也担心所呈交的证据如身分证影印本、护照影印本及其他文凭会遭盗用。
表格只印船厂名字
“Ivy”未曾现身
“Ivy”由始至终未现身，身分令人起疑。
一名受骗者陈朋丰（21岁，自动化工业员工）受访时透露，在填写表格时，他已心起怀疑，因表格上只是印有公司名字，没附上地址和联络电话，与一般的求职表格不同。
他说，当时，马上致电“Ivy”，询问为何没有公司的详情，岂料对方“专业”解答他的疑惑，甚至指可查询另一家在吉隆坡运作的分行，指该船厂是属“大公司”。
“当时我也没想太多，相信了对方的话。”
另外，本报多次尝试联络有关船厂负责人，不过接通的电话一再被挂断，无法求证详情。

女经纪被骗82万
更新: July 9, 2010 18:19
（新加坡9日讯）狮城已婚男被指在大马一脚踏三船，女经纪以为遇到如意郎君，被骗走12万元（28万令吉）。
34岁的女保险经纪从槟城拨《晚报》热线投诉，她在社交网站认识41岁的狮城经理，对方还飞到槟城找她。
两人相处一个星期成为情侣，她借信用卡给他添油后没索回，又帮他登记手机号码。谁知男友离开槟城后，在新加坡和吉隆坡等地拼命刷卡消费，前后刷掉30万令吉。
女经纪说，男友过后以继母生病、叔叔过世等理由，声称手头紧无法还她钱，甜言蜜语哄骗她。
可是，每月超过1000令吉的手机费和频频出现的陌生号码令她生疑。经追查后，发现男友在吉隆坡有两个女友。
“我还查到他在新加坡已经结婚了！我才知道被骗了，还背了30万令吉的卡债！”
身家被掏空、感情又被欺骗的的女经纪，毅然在新马两地报警。
外表谦卑其实烂赌
女经纪说，她根据手机账单上的号码，联络上男友在吉隆坡的两名女友，才知道男子很好赌，常常上云顶赌场。
“她们说，他一次可以输掉1万多令吉！”
她说从不知男友好赌，虽然男友长得不好看，但表现得很谦卑、有耐性，因此在短短一个星期就被他打动。
“他还说要在年底跟我结婚，看到我在槟城的租屋很乱，还说要买漂亮房子给我，事实上，他已经有老婆了。”
另2女友人财两失
女经纪说，另两名受害者也是通过网站认识狮城经理。
“她们比我早认识他，不但被他骗钱，还被骗上床，我庆幸没那么惨。”
女经纪，两名女郎投诉被骗走10万令吉。

Couple who tricked banks with fraudulent withdrawals arrested

Couple who tricked banks with fraudulent withdrawals arrested
By M. KUMAR
kumar@thestar.com.my
KUALA LUMPUR: A young couple has been arrested for “tricking” banks. They would deposit fake money into a cash deposit machine (CDM) and withdraw real cash from an auto-teller machine (ATM).
Within a month, they had withdrawn up to RM23,000.
However, bank officials got wise to their game.
Police laid a trap for the couple after bank officials detected the trick at three of their branches in Johor Bahru.
The man and his wife were caught red-handed.
Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department deputy operations director Asst Comm Rohaimi Md Isa told a press conference yesterday the couple committed the crime almost daily and, at times, would withdraw up to RM1,000 a day.
In another case, police arrested 21 people — most of them Africans — for running “parcel scams.”
The police also seized 13 laptops, 16 mobile phones, several bundles of counterfeit US$100 bills, and RM42,979 in cash.
The scam involves a syndicate member approaching a prospective victim to say there is a parcel from overseas to be delivered to him or her.
The victim would then receive a call from another syndicate member, impersonating as a customs officer, who would ask for some cash to be sent to a bank before the item can be cleared by the Customs.
The syndicates’ victims were largely single women in their 40’s, who they befriended via the Internet.
ACP Rohaimi said that this was not a new scam as there were 591 cases — with reported losses of RM16mil — last year.
“This year, there have so far been 253 cases with RM4.7mil in losses,” he said.
ACP Rohaimi said a Malaysian woman was among those arrested. They are all in their 20s and 30s.
They were picked following a series of raids in the Klang Valley over the past two weeks.
“This syndicate is responsible for 83 parcel scams, with losses of up to RM500,000.”
ACP Rohaimi said some members of these syndicates were also involved in “black money” scams.

HONG KONG police busted an international online scam syndicate which has conned at least 160 people, including Malaysians, of some RM8.7mil, reported Nanyang Siang Pau.
Authorities nabbed 13 men, aged between 20 and 60 years, who were also involved in money laundering activities.
The syndicate, which has been operating for a year, is based in Hong Kong with several members still at large in China, Taiwan and South-East Asian countries.
Sin Chew Daily reported that police also seized 17 bank account books, 38 ATM cards, and HK$107,000 (RM45,000) during the two-day operation.
Investigations showed that the syndicate would first notify the victims in an e-mail that they had won a huge sum of money.
However, they would first have to deposit 1% of the winning prize money as processing fee in order to collect the sum, with one victim having paid up to RM1.25mil.

Cops bust SMS scam ring with arrest of 26
KUALA LUMPUR: A notorious SMS scam syndicate tricking victims into parting with their money by convincing them that they have won cash prizes has been busted with the arrest of 26 people.
Police believe the group, comprising a Malaysian and 25 foreigners, was responsible for swindling up to RM6.4mil between 2006 and April this year.
The syndicate members, including two women and the mastermind, were picked up last week in a raid at a house in Taman Jen Loong and a condominium unit in Kuhara Court, Tawau.
Federal Commercial Crimes Investigations Department (CCID) chief Datuk Koh Hong Sun said police were still tracking two more members of the group, who went by the names of Wak Agos and Acoh.
“This group is actually part of a SMS scam syndicate we busted last year in Tawau,” he told reporters at Bukit Perdana here yesterday.
He said police also seized four laptops, 73 handphones, 41 account logbooks, ATM and credit cards and RM6,000 during the raid.
“Each laptop is able to send out up to 1,000 SMSes a day,” he said.
Comm Koh said the syndicate would send out SMSes to victims, “informing” them that they had won cash prizes from major companies such as Petronas, Shell, Power Root and Maxis.
“Once the victims responded to the SMS, the syndicate would then tell them that they could only collect the cash prizes if they deposited a certain amount of money in a certain bank account,” he said.
He said police were also looking into the origin of the numerous bank accounts used by the syndicate, which were opened under Malaysian names.
Comm Koh said those detained, aged 16 to 41 years, were being investigated for cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code and Section 4(1) of the Computer Crimes Act 1997.

Cops start probe into RM1.2mil scam

Cops start probe into RM1.2mil scam
By RACHAEL KAM
rachael@thestar.com.my
PETALING JAYA: The federal commercial crime division in Bukit Perdana is investigating the case of a “British” man who cheated a housewife of RM1.2mil.
MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong said the division had collected all information pertaining to the complaint from him yesterday.
The information included a police report made by the housewife in Sabah, bank slips of deposits she had made into some local bank accounts and a copy of an anti-money laundering “certificate.”
Chong, who had highlighted the case at a press conference on Thursday, said police would be getting a detailed statement from the housewife.
“The conman is probably working with some locals,” he said yesterday.
The housewife, known only as Madam Lee, lodged a complaint with Chong last week that a man claiming to be a British offshore engineer named Jeff Brian Manik, whom she had befriended over the Internet last year, had cheated her of RM1.2mil.
She said a man claiming to be Manik’s agent told her Manik wanted to invest in property in Malaysia and needed her help to handle the transfer of £2.5mil (RM11.8mil) for the transaction.
She was given an anti-money laundering certificate purportedly issued by the the National Drug and Law Enforcement Agency of United Kingdom clearing the £2.5mil to be transferred to Lee from Britain.
Chong said the certificate was a ridiculous piece of document containing spelling/typographical mistakes.
These included the word enforcement being spelt as “enforement,” agency as “ageny,” British pound as “British paund” and expiry became “exptring.”
“I advise all, especially women, to be more alert and always be suspicious of someone who we befriend on the Internet and demands money or more than that,” said Chong.

Woman’s Facebook love scam exposed
AS many as 10 men were cheated of their love and money by a woman going by the name Sai Sailani in an Internet love scam, Harian Metro reported.
The newspaper interviews a victim known as Suresh, who related how he was cheated of RM1,600 after befriending Sai Sailani on the Facebook social networking site.
The 28-year-old was attracted to her profile picture and the two became Internet friends.
“She was good at sweet-talking and I fell head over heels after a few weeks of communication,” he said.
The victim allegedly transferred RM1,600 into the woman’s bank account after she told him of her pressing financial condition in supporting an ailing father.
“I really loved her and believed that she needed the money,” he added.
The woman’s ploy was exposed when another victim, Jaya, grew suspicious upon spotting an inconsistency in her Facebook identity and the bank account number that she had given to him.
Jaya, 32, said he confronted the woman at her office after doing some checking.
“I was shocked to discover that she did not look anything like the photos that she had posted on her Facebook page,” he said.
“She was fat and unattractive, a sharp contrast from her sexy profile photos.”
The victim lodged a report at the Dang Wangi police station.
> In another report, Berita Harian said a peeping Tom in Kuantan was fined RM100.
The father of five was reported to have peeped at a 25-year-old woman at Taman Jasmin here on June 21.
The man, Eddy Che Din, was brought to a magistrate’s court and pleaded guilty to the charge.
The 44-year-old told the court that it was his first time in committing such an offence and promised not to repeat it. Magistrate Nor Zaihan Mohamed Ali fined him RM100 or three weeks’ jail in default.

老千假冒警总部电话 女子被骗逾2万
老千假冒警总部电话 女子被骗逾2万
二零一零年七月三日 凌晨十二时五十九分
（怡保2日讯）老千使用网络科技VoIP，显示武吉阿曼总部电话03-22626222，拨电并恐吓事主在香港涉及洗黑钱活动，指示对方汇钱予指定户头以解决问题，1女子不幸被骗走2万2700令吉。
现身说法的当事人韩女士（45岁），来自怡保九洞，是名外资公司的职员。她是于5月 20日上午约10时，接获一名自称为武吉阿曼警察总部的“谢督察”电话，对方指有人利用她的资料，在香港某银行开来往户头，并涉嫌洗黑钱活动，或造成出国不便。
她表示，她过后按照这名“督察”的指示拨电给香港一名“黄姓”警官以了解情况。她说，对方能清楚说明她的名字、身份证号码及地址等等，而且更恐吓她能在国家银行中检查到她所持有的各银行户头和存款额，要她清楚交代所有户头存款。
韩女士担心对方所言属实，其所持的来往户头会被冻结6个月以示清白，因此就听从对方指示，先将钱汇入一个谎称是有法官鉴证的户头。她说，在5月21日下午，她分别从5间银行，共2万3000令吉汇入被指示的户头，惟当时的银行存款机拒收最后存入的300令吉，因此她总共被骗取2万2700令吉。
与“谢督察”电话联络
她说，从她到每间银行取款和到最后一间银行汇款，都受指示与“谢督察”电话联络，使得对方了解她的行踪。她表示，在电话里与她交谈的两人皆是头操华语。
她向记者投诉，她已于5月21日当晚到警察局报案，警方也曾告知她，能协助她通过国家银行申请取回有关被骗的汇款，而且查出有关汇入户头是在柔佛永平一活跃户头，惟当局至今仍未有破案进展。
当询及报章曾刊发类似的欺骗案时，这名女事主则表示她并没有留意到类似的新闻，再加上相信对方所言，所以才会上当。
太平区国会议员兼班台区州议员倪可敏促全国总警长丹斯里慕沙哈山，关注及加速处理此事，以挽回国家和皇家警队的形像。
他说，老千的骗术层出不穷，于今年3月份的星报曾刊登一则新闻，指槟州商业罪案调查主任罗斯里说，老千利用网络科技VoIP，让接电的手机随意显示特定号码，而制造32宗涉及总额7万5255令吉的骗案。
他是于周五在霹雳州行动党总部，陪同韩女士召开记者会时这么表示。
他也呼吁民众勿泄露银行户头资料于不相关人士，或因一时贪念将户头租借给他人，免得沦为国际洗黑钱集团新猎物。
此案涉及三宗罪
倪氏指出，此案涉及三宗罪，包括刑事法典第415条文（欺骗）、第 506条文（刑事恐吓之处罚）和第170条文（冒充公务员）。
他说，任何人如接获这类自称是法庭官员或警官的可疑电话，可寻求霹雳州行动党总部（05-253 1532）的协助。
出席这项记者会的包括端洛区州议员西华古玛及行动党党要。

200万中字骗案 老千来自菲律宾
200万中字骗案 老千来自菲律宾
二零一零年七月八日 凌晨十二时二十三分
（太平7日讯）两百万中字骗案，老千原来是菲律宾人。警方目前将他扣押4天，以便作深一层的盘问调查。至于商人被骗走的8万令吉，仍无下落。据知，该名老千在未抵太平行骗时，曾到柔佛州企图行骗，但并不成功，后来转到太平。
警方表示，老千告知他在吉隆坡秋杰律的某间酒店居住， 但警方调查后，老千并没有住在该处。
警方说，事主是在中奖后到有关多多博彩公司查询，才知本身并没中奖，而知上了老千的当。因此在被骗走第一次的8万令吉后，当老千第二次向他要7万5千令吉时，即设下陷阱连同友人一起将他逮捕。
无论如何，警方将继续盘问以揪出老千的合伙人。
受骗商人是被一名自称巫师者以中了多多头奖两百万为铒，向他索钱充作慈善。商人第一次付了他8万令吉，不料隔天老千又再向他索取7万5千令吉，让他觉得对方贪得无厌及形迹可疑，最后揭发他是一名老千，连同友人一起现场逮捕。
此宗逮捕老千骗案于日前发生在太平古打律回教坟场外。太平自愿治安公会同人在接到事主的投报后，马上到现场合力将老千逮捕。

（吉隆坡8日讯）非洲不法之徒横行不断，单单上半年，警方就接获253宗涉及非洲人的投报，被骗数额高达470万令吉，其中爱情包裹骗局占83宗及洗黑钱6宗。
全国商业罪案调查局助理总监（行动）罗海米助理总监，上个月初，警方接获4宗爱情包裹投报后，在过去两个星期，拘捕19名非洲男子、1名本地巫裔女子及1名菲律宾女子协助调查。最后一次行动是昨天在雪州加影两个地点展开。
他今日由全国商业罪案调查局助理总监（网络）卡玛鲁丁助理总监、技术组主任阿末诺丁警监陪同，召开记者会说，落网男女嫌犯介于20余至30余岁，虽然不属同一个不法集团，但是彼此认识，并有联系。
他说，警方在这期间，分别在雪州加影、蒲种、安邦等巴生谷地区展开8次检举行动，起获近4万3000令吉现款、13台手提电脑、16台手机、5张存款收据、3叠100美元假钞、3叠空白纸、1台电脑、1个随身碟、1个安全盖章、1张“美国联邦后备防止金钱冻结组”证书。
“19 名落网的非洲男子，17人是尼日利亚籍，加纳、象牙及博茨瓦纳各1名，他们是持学生证来马深造，有些逾期逗留。”
他指出，本地嫌犯则是户头持有人，借用户头给非洲嫌犯，以让受害者把钱汇入户头。
“每次受害者存入现款，非洲嫌犯就通过提款机取出现钞，透过西方联盟把钱汇回国。”
罗海米说，警方正调查这批男女资料，因此未掌握干下多少宗案件。警方援引刑事法典第420欺骗条文调查，扣留嫌犯协助调查。
警方去年接获 591宗涉及非洲人的投报，损失数额为1600万令吉。
擅长攻心计 目标单身女郎
非洲老千攻心有术，女讲师也上当！
罗海米说，非洲老千擅长攻心计，通常通过社交网站寻找目标，而40岁以上的单身女子，都成为行骗目标。
他指出，老千在网上结交这些单身女子，两三个月便展开追求，双双坠入爱海。
“老千打蛇随棍上，以求婚为饵，声称给受害者寄来了装美金、欧元、金饰、名表等的包裹。”
他说，相隔两三天，同党冒充是关税局人员，致电受害者缴付数千令吉的杂费，才能领出包裹。
他指出，受害者往往信以为真，就依据指示汇过现款，然而老千得寸进尺，会冒充是其他单位的人员，以种种藉口继续欺骗要求汇钱，直至受害者如梦初醒。
他说，受害者包括各阶级，例如上个月初遇骗的4名女事主，其中一名就是讲师。
罗海米说，更有一名女书记被骗三次，损失不菲。
他劝请公民不要轻易相信网上情人，凡事谨慎，例如若接获关税局“人员”来电，应反致电询问。关税局热线电话号码是03-8776657

Mrs Elizabeth Allen, suspected cancer scammer
Mrs Elizabeth Allen is another case of suspected scammer. On June 19, 2010, 1:16:40, she wrote to me telling me that she suffered from cancer and her doctor said that she would die in two months’ time and she wanted to transfer her fortune to me.
Blogger: I sympathized with her situation and told her to seek treatment and I did not want her money and she could donate it to the cancer foundation.
On the same day at 1:39:56 AM, she wrote back and said:
Dear KC,

If i can have your information thus, Your full Name and Address, Your Telephone Number, I will forward to my Lawyer for proper documentation so that the Fund will be transfer to you to carry up the Job.

Mrs. Elizabeth Allen
Blogger: glade should be spelled glad.
I replied and told her I did not want her money and wanted her to donate the money to the cancer foundation. This was the e-mail:
Mrs Elizabeth, I am sorry to hear about your condition. My father also suffer from cancer. He has left me on Mar 21, 2010. I hope you donate your money to the cancer foundation. Even if you give your money to me, I will also try to work to help the cancer patient. There is new technology come out in China. Maybe can help you. I try to connect for you.
On the same day at 2:40:41 am, she again insisted that I should take the money. This is her message:

After that she did not write back and later when I checked back on Tagged, she deleted her profile picture. I suspect it is another cases of scam. It comes in different way and form.
I save her picture in my computer. She can delete it from Tagged, but I still have her profile picture as follows:

Clifford Jefferson, suspected scammer
Tagged is a social website. But I suspect there are many people using this website to con people. We call them scammers.
On June 20, 2010, when I was on Tagged, one guy by the name of Clifford Jefferson. (52 years old) sent me a message asking for my personal particular which include my e-mail because he has a business proposal to make.
I replied and asked him what sort of business proposal and he replied on the same day at 11:54:30 AM with the following message:
CAN I GET YOU INFORMATION AS I STATED ON MY PREVIOUS MESSAGE,SO THAT I WILL SEND YOU A COMPREHENSIVE AND DEATAILED INFORMATION ABOUT THIS BUSINESS PROPOSAL.HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.
Blogger’s comment: Can I get your information and he said Can I get you.
I replied and gave him my e-mail address telling him to send the proposal and if I like it, I will give him my particular.
This Clifford guy replied on the same day at 12:25:34 PM as follows:
THATS OK.I'LL GET BACK TO YOU SOON.PLEASE TRY TO CHECK YOUR EMAIL FOR MY UPDATE.HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOON.THANKS
Blogger: You know what. I was hoping to get his business proposal knowing that this guy might be another scammer. I came back and check my mail. There is no proposal. I checked Tagged on Clifford’s profile. He is gone. In case you wanted to see how his look like, I have saved his profile picture in my computer. He has deleted his profile completely from Tagged. I have encountered several cases of this nature. Next time when you received a message from a suspected scammer, you just saved his picture in your computer.
I don't know whether he is a scammer or not, but that is the way they operate. They will ask you for your personal particular and they will send you a business proposal which you feel like cannot resist and when you respond, you will fall into the trap.
Clifford deleted his profile might be because he felt that I also knew his intention so he does not want to take risk otherwise he might get caught.

刮财150万 阿婆也掏心
黑情人网上骗百女
更新: June 21, 2010 18:07
敦希山（左）与建功的警官向媒体展示，诈骗集团成员以大专院校生身分入驻槟威的学生证件。
（槟城21日讯）11名来自网上“美男计”诈骗集团的尼日利亚籍男子，以理大生及学院生身分入驻槟威，两年内通过“网络情缘”，骗走111名女性受害者多达150万令吉财物，受害者包括73岁的老妇以及教师。
槟警方与武吉阿曼警方上周五（18日）接获可靠情报后，在威省一带住家逮捕11名男子及3名本地女子。
据知，这批“黑情人”诈骗集团通过各种交友网站，甚至面子书等猎物，在网页上上载帅气美男照，并声称来自英国，打造钻石王老五形象，使不少女网友上当。
警捕14人包括3女子
据查，这些受害者皆在网上与对方“交往”，而情陷圈套，最终被骗财。
槟州副总警长拿督敦希山高级助理总监今早与商业罪案调查组主任罗斯里，在槟警察总部召开记者会，证实此案。
他透露，落网的11名嫌犯，其中1人是在槟城理科大学就读10周短程课程的电脑系学生，其余10人是在威省某学院修读课程。被捕的3名女子，两人是印裔，另一人是巫裔。
他指出，警方在行动中起获36架手机、6部手提电脑、两个硬碟、两个随身碟、现款849令吉、尼日利亚国货币1930奈拉、1546美元，及1000欧元等。
“上述嫌犯年龄介于25岁至38岁，他们入境大马在槟州逗留已两年。”
他说，警方已援引刑事法典第420条文“欺骗及不诚实地移交财物”调查，涉及者一旦被提控可被判处不少过一年，但不超过 10年监禁及鞭笞，并可另加罚款。当局已把嫌犯押往推事庭申请延扣。
多名专业人士学生上当
遭尼日利亚男子骗情骗财的111名女性中，有多名专业人士，包括老师、工程师、公务员等，同时也包括理大学生。
罗斯里透露，这些受害者多数是高学历女性，并善用电脑交友及寻找商业伙伴等。
警方在调查中也发现，与“黑情人”同校的大学生和学院生也中招！
据查，该诈骗集团成员在入驻槟威大专院校后，除了对专业职业女性下手外，也连国内大学生及学院生也不放过。
他们往往以甜言蜜语与受害者谈情，甚至发展至谈婚论嫁期间，才骗走受害者的血汗钱。
敦希山指出，爱情虽然是盲目，但希望各界女性能够提高警惕，别相信任何网络交友或约会网站，以及网上寻找商业伙伴等所发布的讯息。
他说，涉及“网络情缘”骗案者在网络上，所发布的个人照皆是虚假，非本尊。
73岁单亲妈妈被骗逾15万
最年长的73岁“美男计”受害者，因生活寂寞，通过网络结交朋友，不料，被骗走15万5000令吉。
据知，“美男计”集团猎物目标不拘年龄，芳心寂寞的女性最容易中招。
罗斯里透露，受骗的73岁妇女是单亲妈妈，其儿女已长大。
他说，这名年长受害者是最近最新受骗案例，后者堕入“网络情缘”圈套，遭骗走15万5000令吉。
据知，这名老妇因生活寂寞，通过网络结交朋友，未料在网上遇人不淑，被尼日利亚男子花言巧语所蒙骗，透过银行户头汇入巨款给对方。
受害者巫裔占多
据警方数据，女受害者多数为巫裔，其次为华裔，当中最多受害者是东北县人，其二是西南区。
该集团在2008年开始网上行骗，当时受害者人数只有27人，受骗人数于去年增至49人。
今年1月至5月，受骗女子有34人，若警方没破获此集团，相信受骗女子或会突破前两年的人数。
虽然“黑情人”在诈骗时借用俊男照片，但本报记者在各社交网站注册户头发现，“黑情人”也有以真名及真面目示人。
其中一名落网者以真名“kanu Owen”在“myspace”、面子书和“NETLOG”注册。他于今年5月22日刚注册“myspace”户头，在“myspace”和 “NETLOG”皆上载了自己的照片，以真面目示人。
不过，交友反应不大，交不到几个朋友。 “kanu Owen”在网上表示自己对摄影和交朋友有兴趣。
主脑是尼籍男子
与同党就读威省学院
网上“美男计”诈骗集团主脑是一名35岁尼日利亚籍男子，他与另9名同党分别在威省一带学院就读。
据了解，这些落网的尼日利亚籍男子并没有出众的外表，上载至网站的美男照皆非本尊，惟他们善于使用网络科技，通过各交友及约会网站，甚至从面子书下手，以甜言蜜语攻势或谈论寻找商业伙伴等伎俩，骗取女性的信任后再骗财。警方暂未接到骗色投报。
假称邮寄名贵礼物
要受害者缴付税收
尼日利亚籍嫌犯在网上与受害者“热恋”时，声称为表示爱的诚意，已通过邮寄送出5000令吉至13万令吉神秘礼物给受害者，不过这些都是骗局。
敦希山指出，这些嫌犯与受害者在网上谈恋爱时，都会以上述伎俩骗取受害者的信任，并撒谎有关送出的礼物包括英镑。
他说，嫌犯过后会声称这些礼物“卡”在关税局，过不到海关，无法送到受害者手中。
他说，嫌犯为诈骗受害者，过后安排其本地同党假扮关税局人员，通过电话告诉受害者若要领回这些礼物，须缴付税款。
许多受害者为领取爱郎的礼物，往往会乖乖付费。
另外，嫌犯的伎俩也包括撒谎，称因带超过限额的现款来马而被扣留，并需要受害者协助给一笔钱担保。
坠陷阱女性逾百人
仍有多人没报案
警方相信堕入“网络情缘”的女性超过111人，目前尚有多名受害者未向当局投报。
敦希山说，该诈骗集团在槟威已活跃两年，当局是从2008年（27宗）开始接获投报，2009年48宗及今年截至5月共有 36宗，共111投报，受害者损失款额达151万6526令吉。
他说，嫌犯所用的银行户头为本地银行，他们分别以付费300令吉给本地人来注册银行户头。
他指出，嫌犯所用的户头是联昌银行户头即0733-0022708-4、 0733-0022691-52-30733-0024037-52-5。
敦希山促请任何人若曾把钱汇入上述户头，可向警方投报，以便当局介入调查。
另外，他说，诈骗集团的其中一名学院生嫌犯，与被捕的一名印裔女子是夫妻关系。

据知，这名老妇因生活寂寞，通过网络结交朋友，未料在网上遇人不淑，被尼日利亚男子花言巧语所蒙骗，透过银行户头汇入巨款给对方。
受害者巫裔占多
据警方数据，女受害者多数为巫裔，其次为华裔，当中最多受害者是东北县人，其二是西南区。
该集团在2008年开始网上行骗，当时受害者人数只有27人，受骗人数于去年增至49人。
今年1月至5月，受骗女子有34人，若警方没破获此集团，相信受骗女子或会突破前两年的人数。
虽然“黑情人”在诈骗时借用俊男照片，但本报记者在各社交网站注册户头发现，“黑情人”也有以真名及真面目示人。
其中一名落网者以真名“kanu Owen”在“myspace”、面子书和“NETLOG”注册。他于今年5月22日刚注册“myspace”户头，在“myspace”和 “NETLOG”皆上载了自己的照片，以真面目示人。
不过，交友反应不大，交不到几个朋友。 “kanu Owen”在网上表示自己对摄影和交朋友有兴趣。
主脑是尼籍男子
与同党就读威省学院
网上“美男计”诈骗集团主脑是一名35岁尼日利亚籍男子，他与另9名同党分别在威省一带学院就读。
据了解，这些落网的尼日利亚籍男子并没有出众的外表，上载至网站的美男照皆非本尊，惟他们善于使用网络科技，通过各交友及约会网站，甚至从面子书下手，以甜言蜜语攻势或谈论寻找商业伙伴等伎俩，骗取女性的信任后再骗财。警方暂未接到骗色投报。
假称邮寄名贵礼物
要受害者缴付税收
尼日利亚籍嫌犯在网上与受害者“热恋”时，声称为表示爱的诚意，已通过邮寄送出5000令吉至13万令吉神秘礼物给受害者，不过这些都是骗局。
敦希山指出，这些嫌犯与受害者在网上谈恋爱时，都会以上述伎俩骗取受害者的信任，并撒谎有关送出的礼物包括英镑。
他说，嫌犯过后会声称这些礼物“卡”在关税局，过不到海关，无法送到受害者手中。
他说，嫌犯为诈骗受害者，过后安排其本地同党假扮关税局人员，通过电话告诉受害者若要领回这些礼物，须缴付税款。
许多受害者为领取爱郎的礼物，往往会乖乖付费。
另外，嫌犯的伎俩也包括撒谎，称因带超过限额的现款来马而被扣留，并需要受害者协助给一笔钱担保。
坠陷阱女性逾百人
仍有多人没报案
警方相信堕入“网络情缘”的女性超过111人，目前尚有多名受害者未向当局投报。
敦希山说，该诈骗集团在槟威已活跃两年，当局是从2008年（27宗）开始接获投报，2009年48宗及今年截至5月共有 36宗，共111投报，受害者损失款额达151万6526令吉。
他说，嫌犯所用的银行户头为本地银行，他们分别以付费300令吉给本地人来注册银行户头。
他指出，嫌犯所用的户头是联昌银行户头即0733-0022708-4、 0733-0022691-52-30733-0024037-52-5。
敦希山促请任何人若曾把钱汇入上述户头，可向警方投报，以便当局介入调查。
另外，他说，诈骗集团的其中一名学院生嫌犯，与被捕的一名印裔女子是夫妻关系。
