It was a rainy day… Got dragged to the clinic first thing in the morning for a quick blood test… While I’m admiring the blood oozing out into the syringe mum got a call..

1st weird thing, the person on the other hand spoke english. Mum can’t speak proper english. Nevermind.. maybe it’s some very important call…

The talk went for a long time… I finished admiring my blood got taken out… watched it got separated into 3 different test tubes and she’s still on the phone…

Was paying when I heard mum getting furious scolding the fella on the phone that she’s NOT living in KL. Something fishy I thought… I got a clue when I heard words like HongLeong Bank master gold card… house address is however in Ampang =.= The fella ask mum to pay a sum of money BUT must go all the way to KL… According to the fella, she cannot pay at bank in Kuantan but only at Wisma KL… =.=  and the most hilarious part… when mum refuse to pay and said that she was gonna lodge a police report the person very confidently say no need to. She can connect the line straight to BANK NEGARA and mum can just report there.. BUAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH…  Hello Bank Negara ??? You must be kidding me… who so free entertain this small small complain there ? =.=

However surprisingly the fella did managed to connect to “Bank Negara”. This time a guy spoke to mum with broken Malay.. more like Ah Beng style Malay… talk talk talk and asked for his name. It turns out he is “Mr Ng” working as a customer service officer in “Bank Negara” speaking broken malay. =.=  I seriously feel sorry for you two lor “Mr. Ng” and whosoever the lady is, are you two at the right side of your mind to think that you can cheat that way ?

Problem no. 1, we were asked to go all the way to KL to pay a credit card payment.

Problem no. 2, that purchase was said to be done way back in August and only one purchased had been done. It’s already December and now only you want the payment? I thought banks are very efficient when it comes to informing about an overdue credit card bill, no ?

Problem no. 3, the house address is so totally wrong. Ampang??? I never knew I have a house in Ampang…

Problem no. 4, if you really are calling from the bank, why do you keep on stopping my mum from reporting it to the police station ? Convincing her you can just connect the line to BankNegara and lodge a report there ? For 21 years I live here in Malaysia, I was never once educated to lodge a report of credit card being misused by third party to BANK NEGARA. We are supposed to double check with the bank involved and if needed lodge a POLICE report.

Problem no. 5, Mr Ng of Bank Negara speaks broken malay.  Sorry dude…you gave yourself away. I know at least that tiny little bit that Bank Negara is a very respectable place and they don’t simply hire staffs that cannot even speak basic simple decent Malay. Maybe you can call me shallow, but I never come across anyone working in any big companies especially in the customer service department who cannot converse simple decent malay.

So to you two scammers, GET A LIFE ! God is watching you two and I hope you two get caught ASAP for who knows how many phone scam have you two done.

To people out there, please be alert. The government and newspapers have been warning about cases like this and victims have shared their stories in hope that others won’t fall for it. So please please please DON’T get panic when these fools say anything and NEVER give your info away. Just tell them you will check with the local bank first and hang up the call. Don’t even waste time like my mum insisting she will lodge a police report and get her call connected to “Bank Negara”. You are wasting few minutes of your life which you could have spent it more wisely like going for a tea. ;)
