Fraud Case

finders keepers, losers weepers.
someone is poorer by RM10 today...
found this bank note on the pavement just now. kekeke. *9ish pm*
^^


some times its a good thing the government sector use BM as their communication tool.

the other day, last wednesday to be exact, i received a call,
number was basically blocked.

the first thing the voice said (auto female operator)
was that i have an outstanding balance of one thousand something ringgit...
naturally i was shocked... my first thought it's a call from DIGI!
i was a little confused as to how my bill could be a thousand,
it couldn't be from the simple phone call i made to china that caused it?

so when the operator gave the option to press 0 to speak to the customer representative,
naturally whoever that is on a panic and rage mode would just click it...
and without more than 2 rings someone picked it up...
and claims that i am now speaking to someone who works for EON bank...

i was even more puzzled!!! why am i suddenly diverted to EON BANK???

so i asked him why what when where who how...

and found out that i "SUDDENLY" have a credit card with EON BANK.
it's MINE. i owe them RM8k plus plus... AMAZINGLY, for the past few months.
i currently have an outstanding payment of RM1k to make before my card gets blocked...
... even when i kept telling that idiot i do not own such a card, he insist that i DO...
it's... MINE... i registered it in SIBU...

*actually when he asked for my details like name and ID, after giving it to him, i asked him a question since he has my details, where is this ID's address registered to, which he then told me somewhere somewhere in SIBU*

i was laughing like mad when i heard that ~loh...
SIBU? i have never step foot in SABAH, SARAWAK, let alone SIBU... -.-

... at one point i thought it was a GOTCHA call!!! >.<

only then he "AGREED" that it's probably a fraud case...
he then told me the card's details... and what i should do...
... which was to call bank negara to settle the issue...
ODDLY after he gave me bank negara's number,
he asked if i would want him to divert the call to bank negara...

being BLONDE now, and CHEAP... i figured hey... if banks could do this now...
WHY NOT? i am not paying the phone bill ma~~~ ^^

this is when their entire scam got really fishy... and... obvious.
it's so silly...

first things first, no way in any government sectors would speak to you in pure fluent english...
our national language comes first, only if you request then they will communicate in english.

the bank negara "representative" answered the call in less than a heart beat,
and spoke to me in fluent english, so fluent i was PUZZLED...
hence i spoke to him in MALAY automatically... which gave him a shock...
that lead him into defensive, immediately responding back to me in malay...
... but thanks to his cockiness, which was just a simple line... that i decided to call back...

THAT MA CHI BAI SAID IF I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS BANK NEGARA THEN CALL BACK LA...
which I did, after calling 103 to reconfirm the number that they gave was indeed bank negara's...

*that gave me a bit of a panic, thinking OMFG it's real? so my ID card does owe them RM8k???*

so i found out after calling the real bank negara (which took me a while to get thru, and spoke in malay even when i chose english) that if the conversation carried on, they would ask me to bank in money to an account to prevent me from getting charges, previously this case was with another bank, AM bank... and NO... eon bank or another other bank cannot transfer the call to bank negara. kekekeke.

the end. a little drama fiasco in the early wednesday morning last week. hehe.

thing is, just never panic... nothing can go wrong if you don't panic...
but when you do panic all hells break thru...
*did i get this right? haha*

... OMG i am so bad at telling stories... :P
*i am BLONDE i am allowed to tell lame stories*
