Scam call

There’s was a phone call scam. Getting red and heard about this kind of cases from newspaper and radio before, but could'nt imagine it was really happen to my family.

Today was a very frightening morning for me. As usual i was working in office and around 10am something, i received my sister call, can heard from her shivering voice and i know something was happen, she keep crying non-stop and told me " Jie~, "koko" (brother) get in trouble, been punish badly by someone, and keep bleeding now, help~ what should i do now, mum have went out to save koko, i am very scare to stay alone here now."

Actually is my mum received the scam call from the con man and saying:" Ur son now with us, he was someone guarantor, and now u need get ready 60k to save your son, otherwise we will hurt your son very very badly!" And they did pass the phone to my brother and talk to my mum :" Mum, please help me, they keep punish me, very painful!". The voice was exactly same as my brother voice.

My mum was stunt and without figure out and seek for other opinion, she was immediately went to the bank and follow the instruction that what the con man asking to do. They are very smart as in threaten my mum hang off the house phone and switch on the handphone all the while so that their can keep contact with my mum and nobody could try to reach my mum also avoid her to call anyone for help. They did mention do not try to call anyone by letting 3rd party know or else my brother will get in trouble. Normally, whoever parents heard of this matter on the spot, surely will be selfless and follow whatever the con man requested.

While the journey driving to bank and my mum was nearly want to withdraw the money, but at the moment she was calm down and recall back, while come into concerning about money.. there might a scam. Meanwhile, the con man talk to my mum asking wether have taken out the money. Being smart this time, my mum ask them :" WHAT IS MY SON NAME?", they couldn't answer it at all and keep ignore the question. So, very confirm this is a SCAM. End up the call by scolding them badly.

So, my mum try to reach my brother hand-phone, but couldn't get him and start guessing will the con man interupt my brother hand-phone to keep it engaged so that will make the story look real? Again my mum try to reach him again, Thanks god, my brother pick up the phone finally, saying he is working in office safely right now".

Just wanted to share with everyone about this case which happen to my family, it could happen to others people too, but please aware and have to be calm down. REMEMBER to get your relatives and family members office contact number incase the victim hand-phone been interrupted. Hopefully all the con man get arrest as soon as possible to avoid cheating more people.
