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,

Thank you very much for your words of hope. I really apprecaite your email. I will be glade if you can assist me. 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.
Await for your respond,

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:

Dear,

I want you to help me handle this. This fund, according to my Lawyer, that as soon as you have agree, This fund will be transfer through a cash delivering to your address which you provide.

Please i need you assistance to handle this offer.

Mrs. Elizabeth

Blogger；This is what I said:

Elizabeth, I have been thru many cases of people offering money to me. There is this exchange control if the fund is too big I wonder our central bank will allow it to transfer in. Please donate it to cancer foundation. If you can give me your e-mail address, I will refer your case to another friend who is in China performing cancer treatment for people in China. I am sure you still have hope.


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。

73-year-old woman loses RM155,000 to ‘lover’

73-year-old woman loses RM155,000 to ‘lover’
By ANDREA FILMER
andrea@thestar.com.my

Tuesday June 22, 2010

GEORGE TOWN: A 73-year-old woman was swindled of RM155,000 in an Internet love scam by a Nigerian syndicate that has been busted by police.

She was the latest victim of the syndicate, which had cheated 110 other women over the last two years of about RM1.35mil.

The other victims included teachers, a lawyer and an engineer who were cheated of money from as little as RM5,000.

Penang deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said the Nigerians had posed as handsome British men, courting their victims, who were all single Penang women, through online chats.

“They took the time to win over the women’s hearts and trust, sometimes to the extent of proposing marriage,” SAC Tun Hishan told a press conference here yesterday.

After about two months of courting, the “British men” conveyed their intention to send the women gifts in the form of laptop computers, mobile phones and cash in American currency.

“The women then received calls from a local woman impersonating a Customs officer, telling them that the parcel had been held up for Customs checks.

“They told the victims that a penalty had to be paid and provided them with bank accounts to pay the fine,” SAC Tun Hisan said.

He said the “British men” and parcels disappeared after the victims banked in the money.

He said the majority of the victims were aged between 20 and 50. Half of them are believed to be college and university students.

The syndicate was busted last Friday when police arrested 11 Nigerian men and three local women in raids on two houses in Seberang Prai and Butterworth after a month of surveillance.

Two computer hard disks, two flash drives, six laptop computers, 36 mobile phones, RM849, US$1,546 (RM5,086), 1,000 (RM4.080) and 1,930 Nigerian nairas (RM41.45) were seized in the raids.

The suspects are aged between 25 and 38, and some of the Nigerians are enrolled as students in institutions of higher education in Penang.

“From documents we recovered, we feel there are more victims out there,” SAC Tun Hisan said.

He urged anyone who had been asked to deposit money into CIMB bank accounts 0733-0022708-4, 0733-0022691-52-3 or 0733-0024037-52-5 to come forward and assist police in investigations.

网上遇非洲爱情骗子 女助理不见7100

网上遇非洲爱情骗子
女助理不见7100

更新: June 14, 2010 18:11

（吉隆坡14日讯）网上结识不到一个月，一名女法律助理和非洲爱情骗子恋上后，以为对方因携带38万2477令吉巨款来马见她在机场被扣，不惜英“雌”救美，结果被骗走7100令吉！

这名 27岁的受害者，在互联网上结识非洲籍男子后，迅速发展网络情缘，结果当她听到对方要飞来我国和她见面时，心情极度亢奋，盼望这一天及早降临。

她上周四（10日）早上9时许，突然接到对方来电，指他已从伦敦飞抵吉隆坡国际机场，却因为携带巨款（38万2477令吉）被关税局官员扣留。

“对方原本要求受害者为他缴付巨款的10％金额，把他保释出来，起初，半信半疑的受害者没有马上答应。”

不久后，受害者再接到另一名自称关税局官员的男子来电，向她要求缴付罚款，以将其情郎保释出外，受害者才误以为真。

受害者接着依照对方吩咐，汇了7100令吉到对方指定的数个银行户头，却不断接到对方来电催促，疑心再起下，致电关税局询问后始知上当。

吉隆坡商业罪案调查组主任依查尼助理总监证实此案。

Ｄear KC,

Am really glad for your interest.

The fund is about 3.6mil US dollars, which i don＇t really know how much it is in your country's currency.

The money is to be brought in through international diplomats, because if it should be sent through bank may be tied down by the bank.

My client wants to invest in five star hotels and in transportation sector.

One has to risk himself before you achieve what you want in life, that＇s why i believe that a respectable man of your caliber would be capable.

According to my clients, 60% of the investment shall remain his while the remaining 40% goes to two of us.

Hope you understand clearly what i just said now.

Hope to hear from you.

揭电话诈骗手法‧网络语音技术

揭电话诈骗手法‧网络语音技术

* 专题
* 警察故事

2010-05-30 19:40
1 of 4

（马六甲）加入甲州商业罪案部已有15年的岑振强警监对匪徒所采用的各式各样诈骗及失信手法，可说是了如指掌，因为他在任期间曾侦破多不胜数的诈骗失信案。近年来让许多民众闻之色变的电话诈骗活动，如电话绑架、电话抽奖等诈骗活动的手法，更是全在他的掌握之中。

为免许多民众“前仆后继”的上当，岑振强通过《光明日报》揭穿电话老千的行骗手法，并向广大民众传授防老千招式。他披露，电话老千多是利用网络语音技术，从电脑拨电到受骗者的手机。通过这个方法，老千可以用任何公司、住家或个人的电话号码拨出电话，比如以A公司的电话号码拨出，接电话者的来电就会显示A公司的号码，以此除去受骗者的疑虑、戒心和防备。

“以信用卡被盗刷诈骗案为例，现在的老千还盗用某家银行或国家银行的电话号码，让受骗者误以为对方真的是银行职员，继而上当。”

他指出，这类案件增加中，老千的手法层出不穷，除了以电话号码取得受骗者的信任，对科技的操作也熟练。

老千掌握户头资料

“提款机是与电脑连线的，所以一旦受骗者按照老千的指示到提款机输入密码，老千便能藉由电脑线上服务（Online）掌握受骗者户头的所有资料。”

他披露，除了上述诈骗手段，近年在全国各地盛行的诈骗活动包括电话通知事主接获法庭传票、电话绑票、电话通知信用卡或提款卡被盗用等诈骗活动。

“根据资料显示，假绑架案的受骗者很多并非富有人家，市民一旦接到这类电话，首先要衡量自己的经济情况是否“值得”绑匪冒险绑架和勒索，并立刻联络警方。”

有着亲切笑容的岑振强强调，警务人员需亲民，因为警民合作才能有效打击罪案发生。 （图：光明日报）



外国罪犯串通本地人

他说，类似的电话诈骗案手法和点子是由外国“引进”，外国罪犯串通本地人干案后，骗到手的钱都是进入本地人的银行户头。

“一般上动脑的是外国集团，动手的是本地人，所以往往被捉到的都是本地人。以前骗子是随便乱打一个电话号码，现在却更进一步知道受害者身边人的动向。”

岑振强说，资讯的发达已为海内外的犯罪集团开启一道更方便互通、交流及合作的大门，因此，警方不能墨守成规，必须自我提升知识，并掌握和了解更多的犯罪行为。

说三语换角色
老千调整剧情

老千的干案手法会随着剧情的演变和民众的反应作出“调整”。岑振强指出，海内外犯罪集团不但 “联营”策划各类电话欺诈案，还推出“进阶版本”，即不断变换角色和桥段，以及说出一口流利的华、巫、英语，以加强受骗者对他们的信任。

“比如电话假绑架勒索案，最初干案者以华语通过电话联络受骗者，而且没有孩子的哭声，但这两年来老千陆续加入英文版本及孩子凄惨的哭声，以加强效果，让受骗者误以为亲人真的被绑了，一时情急乱了阵脚，以致更容易上当。”

冒充法庭职员警员岑振强说，电话老千布下的骗局有时推陈出新，有时是换汤不换药。

他举例，数年前发生的“中奖”案，老千自称来自香港或澳门，致电恭喜事主中奖，惟条件是事主得汇入一笔手续费才能领取奖金。不过，随着这种手法被媒体揭发后，老千再换新花样，即冒充法庭职员致电通知事主触犯条例，并谎称案件已被带上法庭处理，除非事主愿意花钱消灾。

他说，在这之后，老千为了加深效果，又更改故事版本，通知事主的银行户头被不法之徒盗用，作为洗黑钱的用途，跟着老千会建议事主把户头的存款提出来，汇入另一个户头，以避免麻烦。

“这次除了有法庭人员，还加上警员和银行职员的角色，而且还是华、巫、英三语齐下。”

寡妇获赔10万
律师私吞坐牢

岑振强曾经查办过一宗律师失信案，有关律师代表女事主向保险公司索偿，官司虽打赢了，但律师却私吞这笔逾10万令吉的款项，造成这名失去丈夫的寡妇陷入经济拮据的窘境。

他回忆此案说，女事主因与夫儿发生车祸，并导致丈夫不幸身亡后，便透过律师向保险公司索赔。

“她赢了这场官司，获赔超过10万令吉，原本这笔钱可以帮助她渡过经济难关，岂料律师却失信，没有把钱交给她。”

岑振强指出，警方接到事主的投报，经调查后成功将律师控上法庭，对方最终被判监禁，同时付还近 80%的款项给事主。

“这宗失信案打了好几年官司，事主经历不少苦日子，虽然没有办法追讨回100%款项，但这也算不错的结局。”

对于能够为弱势者讨回公道，岑振强感到满意。 “至少我做了我应该做的事，因为并非每一宗案件都能把嫌犯控上法庭。”

儿被绑失踪‧误信可脱绑
贫妇遭友人骗5万

在查案过程中，岑振强坦言难免会碰到一些处于“屋漏偏逢连夜雨”的案主，令他百感交集。他说，曾经有一名50多岁的贫穷妇女，同时面对丈夫的离世和儿子被绑架的噩耗，为了救出儿子，她误信一名友人的说词，结果东筹西借了5万令吉，最后才发现受骗，落得“人财两空”的悲惨景况。

提及这件事，岑振强娓娓道来说，事主在儿子失踪后，才发现原来儿子被绑架，可是令事主摸不着头脑的是，他们家境贫穷，怎会成为绑匪的目标？因此，事主很肯定绑匪绑错人。

“数年来，一直没有肉票的下落，刚好一名相识的男子上门找事主，说有她孩子的消息，只是需要一笔钱疏通。结果事主真的听信友人的话，不管三七二十一东凑西借，最后借到5万令吉，并交给对方。可是，钱交出后，她等了很久都不见对方告知儿子的下落，才发现自己受骗，立即报警。”

岑振强指出，这名骗子为避开警方的追查，东躲西藏，警方花了超过一年的时间才把他揪出来，最终成功将他控上法庭。

“骗子早已花光所有的钱，虽然警方无法帮事主取回这笔钱，但总算逮到嫌犯，算是对事主有个交代。遗憾的是，事主还是失去孩子。”

紧记2事降低受骗机率

1. 涉及绑票活动的匪徒一旦罪名成立，唯一的刑罚是死刑，因此，真正的绑匪不会为了数十千令吉的赎金而干案，但电话绑匪却常为了迅速骗得人人轻易可取出的金钱，而只向上当的小市民索取数十千甚至是数千令吉的赎金。

2. 一般绑匪在致电给肉票家属谈判赎金等事项时，通常都会速战速决，以免警方侦查到他们拨打电话的地点， 从而追踪到他们所处的位置，但电话绑匪却恰恰相反，他们总是为了避免上当者向其他家属求助，或另行拨电话联络“肉票”，以确认他是否被绑架，而采取“拖” 字诀，即通过恐吓方式阻止上当者在把款项通过银行汇给他们之前挂断电话。

电话诈骗活动类型

电话绑架──老千拨电指事主孩子或家人已被他们绑架，要求事主通过银行汇款方式把赎金汇给老千。

电话抽奖──老千通过拨电话或发简讯方式指事主抽中大奖，并要求事主先把一笔为数千令吉的手续费汇给他们，以便他们把巨额大奖交给事主。

电话信用卡──老千拨电指事主的信用卡或提款卡被盗用，要求事主通过网络银行或银行提款机进行一些程序，借此误导事主把款项汇进他们的户头。

Housewife loses RM1.2mil to Internet conman

Housewife loses RM1.2mil to Internet conman

By CHRISTINA TAN

KUALA LUMPUR: A 47-year-old housewife lost all her savings and money borrowed from her family and friends, totalling RM1.2mil, to a conman she befriended on the Internet.

The sum also included her mother's lifetime savings, husband's investments, and the savings of her sister and niece.

The woman, who wanted to be known only as Madam Lee, said the man, claiming to be a British offshore engineer named Jeff Brian Manik, had added her as friend on an Internet chat room last year.

Lee said the man told her he was sending her Easter gifts that included a designer wristwatch, perfume, Louis Vuitton bag, jewellery, laptop and camera, and his latest picture, through courier in April.

"He called and wanted me to pay RM16,500 as a deposit to claim those gifts, which I did by banking the money into two local bank accounts, but I did not see those gifts at all," she told a press conference held by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong Thursday.

She said she received an email from a man claiming Manik's agent about two weeks later, who said Manik wanted to make property investments in Malaysia and needed her help to handle his 2.3mil pounds of funds during the transaction.

"I was convince after I met the agent, who had a suitcase full of pounds, at a hotel, and he asked money for transfer charges," she said.

Lee said she deposited and paid cash close to RM400,000 to various agents via different accounts, between April 20 and May 11, to ensure the investment money arrived without problems.

Subsequently, Lee said she deposited RM586,000 to a company on May 16, after receiving a call from one of the agents that there was a 5% tax charge of the 2.5mil-pound fund.

On May 26, Lee said she paid another RM258,000 to the same company.

Lee said she felt something was amiss when she did not receive the gifts but was convinced by the man after listening to his plans to invest in Malaysia.

"I just wanted to help a friend but I did not expect it turn out to be like this, I want the money back to pay back my family and friends," she said, adding that she had never met Manik and lodged a police report few days ago.

Chong said he had received complaints from 18 women over similar scams, totalling more than RM2.4mil, since 2007, and warned people to be wary of such conmen.

Blogger: This kind of stories happened all the times on the internet and the modus operandi is almost the same. But so many people read about similar stories on the media and the stories repeated itself. This is because of greed.
