Meepok87 Neutral Newbie July 22, 2010 Share July 22, 2010 Hi guys, just to illustrate wat happen to me last nite at 230am. I received a call from an unknown oversea no asking for my dad. This guy claims that my dad owes him money and ask us to return him money, he says that he is by the name of 'ah sam' and he just came out from prison. He says that he know where we stay and managed to say out our unit number correctly, but he did not mention any blk or street name though. Then he kept telling us not to play with him, as he know where we stay and hinted that he will come our hse to disturb us. I was quite angry and scolded him in vulgarilty. And i feel that he suddenly felt abit shocked. After afew mins of arguement, he changed his statement. He said that we dont owe him any money but he wants to take some 'kopi money' from us to spend. We abruptly end the conversations by saying we have no money and wanted to hang up. Towards the end of the conversation, he ask us, " you dont even have 100-200??" we just said " no!' and hang up on him. However he still call us again after we hang up but we did not pick up. In total, he called us 3 times, once my mum pick up, 2nd time she pass to me, 3rd time we nv pick up. The whole conversation is in hokkien, but as my hokkien is not fluent and i dun understand completely, he speaked mandarin in the end as i could not make out wat he is saying. We are thinking of going to make a police report later just for safety reason. Bros out here any comments on this situation? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meepok87 Neutral Newbie July 22, 2010 Author Share July 22, 2010 ya all my family members thinks that he took our number from a phonebook, but still we will be going down to make a police report later. Anyway i checked with my dad already, he did not owe anybody any money. Anyway to add on, he sounded like a local middle age guy and he does not have any accent.

Sbfa Neutral Newbie July 22, 2010 Share July 22, 2010 Something to consider - if he calls again, agree to his "demands", make a appointment, and bring the police along. Then again, if it's one of those "scam" cases, where they randomly try their luck, then it's likely they won't waste their time calling again, since they're obviously not going to get anything out of you.
