Fraud Tactics - Beware!

NEW FRAUD TACTICS - best to take note. These Bad Guys are even using war tactics found in The Art Of War by Tsun Zhi!

(Some may not be true but be aware)FYI...and worth taking note...... NO WHERE SEEMS TO BE SAFE ANYMORE - SO WE HAVE TO BE EXTRA EXTRA CAUTIOUS NEW TACTICS

Someone shared the following cases:

(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he didn't know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money from the ATM machine. I answered 'NO!! If you need help, ask the security to help you.' Then he said 'nevermind..' and continued to find other people to help him... REMEMBER: ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.

(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that your neighbours still have lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured.REMEMBER: Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open your door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.
Lock your compound gate at all times! This will act as an deterrent to the potential robbers, they always look for easy target.

(3) This is another incident. You may have heard it before, it is about a lady who she saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room. REMEMBER: Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Pass this on and girls, please be careful..DON'T BE TOO KIND!! If you ever come across this, take the kid to the nearest police station!

(4) One day, there was an old lady outside my house holding 2 packets of sweets. At first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I can realised that she was a foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed she must be asking for money. I sensed there was something wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone else down the road. Always trust your instinct! A powerful force within us!

(5) I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Beside me at the next ATM, there was an old lady. She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with her machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The small girl was squeezing in front of me. I thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her hand at the tray of the ATM machine where the money comes out, ready to take away my money. I sensed something was wrong and immediately pushed her away. Later I realised that the small girl and the old lady were working together. She was trying to steal my money while the old lady was trying to distract my attention by asking me questions! REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you! There is a Chinese saying on this :- "Sing Tung Kek Sei"( Also found in Tsun Zhi Art Of War!).

(6) My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more petrol and the petrol station was too far for him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will pay RM2 for the bottle. So my mum took one coke bottle for him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note. He told my mum he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was smart. She just told him to take it for free. REMEMBER: obviously that note is fake!! Who would want to pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle!! It's very OBVIOUS that that stranger is a trickster.
Temptation & Greed! There is a saying - There is no such big frog that goes jumping around on the street! ("Mow Ti Kor Cup Lar Chui Kai Til" in Cantonese lingo! :)

(7) This happened in Bali . A newly married couple were having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both are in the changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around to find her. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. 3 weeks passed and there was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and was very dissapointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali , to watch a 'FREAK SHOW' in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face was full of scars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to find that it was his missing wife!
Always stick to your wife when your travelling abroad!

(8) This happened in Shanghai. A few years ago, a lady reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after 5 years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side one of the streets in Bangkok, Thailand. The worst thing is that her cousin sister has no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp post with a shackle (metal chain).

(9) DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING!! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert to this trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a baby crying to attract your attention.This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house. If you really want to check it out, Make sure you on your porch/terrace/garden lamps first. Then, snoop around and look through the windows to watch for any unusual movements. Or best thing is to call your hubby or your friends if you are alone.

(10) I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution centre. There are many people there. It's also near to the Shen Zhen train station and Hong Kong's Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shipping centre while A and B waited outside. After waiting for a long, time they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C's phone. There was no reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether they had seen anyboby suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to bring a life person out of the toilet without them noticing!. Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out. The police told them that was not the first time such a thing happened. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the the toilet of shopping complexes.They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale. REMEMBER: please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a partner with you.

Be alert at all times no matter where you are!

Love

Love is wonderful! Have you ever been in LOVE? I am sure most of you out there know what love is and the type of LOVE, right? Wonderful and yet painful for some, huh? Well, everything in life has it ups and downs. Love is an art some would say. For me it is a lifelong spellbinding affection that would go on forever, something that comes from my heart! Not my brains though. Well, always remember to LOVE someone with your heart and not your brain! Don't ever forget to tell the person you LOVE everyday or every chance that you have if you can. :)

Mooncakes!

Happy mooncake everyone! Today is Mooncake Festival! Some called it Lantern Festival! It used to celebrated in a grand way but since the first man set foot on the moon, the importance of this festival has somehow downgraded in a way. Anyway, when I was a kid, I enjoyed it a lot. Playing lanterns and lighting up candles with neighbours(kids). We even made our own lanterns!
Btw, the price of mooncakes has increased by 30% or more! The variety of mooncakes has also widened and they come in many shapes and colours. Take a look at some of these shown here:

Friendship

Friendship is part and parcel of our life. We simply can't live without it! Can't imagine living life without any friends. Hmmm....... Can you?
Friendship has no boundaries, no color nor age! It can happen anywhere, anytime & anyone! However, the terms friendship is fragile nowadays. It does not hold much bond nor value anymore in this modern world. The value of friendship has degraded to a unthinkable level. Sad but this is a fact of life. But we still need friends everywhere. We must always value those friendship created especially those sincere ones.

Drinking Warm Water

An interesting article to share with all of you. It is
not only about the warm water after your meal, but also about Heart Attacks . The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating. For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line . You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive. A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message and spreads it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & tell this to a friend. It could save a life.

Bird's Nest Stadium!


The Bird's Nest National Stadium, with a capacity of
80,000, is the Games' iconic centerpiece.

There's no better place than up in the sky to take in a panoramic view of Beijing's grand Olympic architecture.
The Bird's Nest National Stadium, with a capacity of 80,000, is the Games' iconic centerpiece. It will hold the opening and closing ceremonies as well as athletics events. Completed at the beginning
of this year, the 6000-seat Water Cube National Aquatics Center
will host swimming, diving and synchronized swimming. The Beijing tourism authority's release of aerial footage of Olympic venues is not only a move to attract more tourists, but also to prove the city is ready for the Summer Games. Construction is completed at the 16 new, eight temporary and 13 pre-existing venues that will host sporting events during the three week Olympic Games.Beijing itself has 31 venues,
with a few events being held in six co-host cities across China.
