As I was focusing on reading in the library, my cellphone sms alert interrupted . A mystery number without ID was shown .

Oh mine, God is so graceful to me that He knows that I am too late to apply for JPA scholarships! Oh yeah..

Wait ... ...

Isn't it too good to have such a big frog jumping everywhere on the street ? (Chinese sayings, same meaning as in "no lunch is FOC under the sun.")

It is obvious that this sms is 99.99999999999999999999999999% a spam, or a fraud.
But there is 0.00000000000000000000000001% that I might get the money , right ?
Oops, forgot to tell ya , that's in my dream.

I've read many forwarding emails regarding conman using this tactic to bloodily suck all your bloody money from your bloody blood sucking bank account . Usually the hero in the above incidence is tanned-curly speaking English and Malay in the slang of land of giraffe.

I am so excited .

THOU SHALT LODGE A POLICE REPORT .

A firm voice was speaking through my tiny head.

But what if it is real ? Making a fake report is an offence.And I still wanna keep my IC color . Blue is cool.

Home.
(Pressing 017-8311242)

And I am still very excited.

I mean, hey, what should I expect if I called ?
Sexy voice asking for my room number ?

Mr Conman: " Selamat petang. Ini Syarikat ....(he was mumbling )

Me : " Ya. Good afternoon. May I know who is on the line ? "

Mr Conman : " Apa? Cakap Melayu boleh ? "

Me :" (shit, my BM tak boleh pakai one ) Emm..Siapa yang tengah cakap ini ? Tadi Saya dapat satu sms dari nombor ini -0178903136. "

Mr Conman : " Oh ya . Anda telah memenangi RM 15000 dari Syarikat Shell ..(mumbling again)... Maxis Celcom simcard...(mumbling again) Ini Cik apa ? "

Me : " (Duh.. tell me ya name la, idiot) X. Siapa yang tengah cakap ni?

Mr Conman : " Lanjit .. "

Me : " Huh ? "

Mr Conman : "Ranjit . Ini cik apa ni? "

Me : " (Duh...) XXX..... (waiting for him to continue the conversation)

Mr Conman : "(Very excited)Encik, boleh ... (mumbling again)telefon nombor ? "

Me : " huh? "

Mr Conman : " Telefon nombor "

Me : " 012-4.......(mumbling my number so that he can't get it."

Mr Conman : " (Pretended that he got it) Bank account mana ...(mumbling again).."

Me : " Aeon. "

Mr Conman : " Bank account (mumbling again) wang masuk .... (mumbling)" <>

Me: " Sorry, ni syarikat mana ? "

Mr Conman : " Ini Syarikat SHELL minyak.... (mumbling again)"

Me :" Mr Ranjit ,may I know which department you are working in ? "

Mr Conman : " Ini Syarikat SHELL minyak , Jalan Damansara, KL ...(Mumbling again) " <>

Me : " Sorry Mr Ranjit . I got an incoming call right now . We continue it later , kay ?"

Mr Conman : " huh? Melayu , Melayu ."

Me : " Incoming call , incoming call. Bye. "


Without any hesitation, I headed off to the nearest Police Station to lodge a report... ...


Continuation...

The police asked me to write down whatever my concerned was. That's it. And they even commented that I should have just leave it alone , ignore the phone .

Hello, I think I was just doing what a responsible "rakyat" will do. This need to be reported , and (so) the police carries out their duty to track and keep these unscrupulous people in jail. It's crime. Prevention of crime is important .

Wake up! Wake up! You sleeping people.

Pissed. Angry. Sad. Disappointed.
