Recently, I have received two calls. One in a few weeks ago, the other only this morning. It is so interesting to see how one person from China is using the Internet to spread his scam to make money online! It seems like there are companies in China specially set up to do scam business… I remember going to China and there’s quite a lot of scam techniques used… They are in the form of paper, call pranks and even direct approach in the street. They are so good in their “business techniques” that I have no doubt in the knowledge of Sun Tze spread all across the world now…

In the first call
First step, data collection…
She merely took down my name and asked me to attend for some event on 15th October. I don’t even remember she telling me the actual venue and time! So, how can I attend such an event? Her objective to herself is very clear… Just collect the data as much as she can… And she’s making herself very available to chit chat… In fact, she seems to be a very good conversationalist.

In the second call
Second step, data conversion
She announced that I have won $10,000! Oh wow… In my thoughts, somebody is going to give me money anyway, why should I resist? She took down my bank account and my date of birth. I think they are ok anyway. I do write these kind of information in the Internet for registration.

Now what?
I went on, and tell my friends about it. My sister referred me to this forum talking about cheated by a Hong Kong Lucky Draw Scam… I read through, and I started to laugh like crazy when the guy who got the same thing as myself is doing a reversal psychology on the China guy. Anyway whether it’s a scam or not, I have informed my bank about it already.

I will keep you guys updated about this lucky draw if the girl calls me back again!

In the meanwhile, listen to the guy from the forum who got this scam call below…

If I really won SGD$10,000, I will have a surprise for those of you who have subscribed to my feed… Thank you so much for being my loyal reader along my path as a blogger!
