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。

《中國報》記者今日致電武吉阿曼刑事調查局總監拿督斯里峇克里查詢此事時,他指警方至今未接獲類似的投報。

Rawang girl follows boyfriend to Sabah but turned into servant

Rawang girl follows boyfriend to Sabah but turned into servant

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”.
