Beware Of Free Gifts - VERY SOPHISTICATED WAY OF CHEATING (in Singapore )

Beware Of Free Gifts - VERY SOPHISTICATED WAY OF CHEATING (in Singapore )

Hi everyone,

I want to let you all know that Frank and I have been the victims of credit card fraud this week and felt I should warn you all about the clever  scam.

It works like this:

Last Wednesday I had a phone call late morning from Express Couriers to ask if I was going to be home as he had a delivery for me.  He said he  would there in roughly an hour.  He turned up with a beautiful basket of flowers and wine. I expressed my surprise as I wasn't expecting  anything like this and said I was intrigued to know who was sending me such a lovely gift.  He said he was only delivering the gift and the card  was being sent separately (the card has never arrived).There was a consignment note with the gift.

He went on to explain that because the gift contained alcohol he has to
charge the recipient $3.50 as proof that he has actually delivered to an
adult, and not left it on a door step if the recipient is out, to be stolen
or taken by children.  This seemed logical and I offered to get the  cash.

He then said that the company required the payment to be by EFTPOS so he's not handling cash and everything is properly accounted for.
!! Fra n k was there and got his credit card and 'John' swiped the card on this small mobile machine that also had a small screen upon which Frank entered in his pin number.  A receipt was printed out and given to us.

Between last Thursday and Monday $4,000 was withdrawn from our credit account at ATM machines in the north shore area.  It appears a dummy credit card was made using the details in the machine and of course, they had Frank's pin number. The Bank has stopped our cards and I've been  to the Police this morning, where they confirmed that it is a definite scam and many households were hit during the first 3 days of October.

So PLEASE be wary of accepting a gift you're not expecting especially if the card is not with it.  We've all received gifts like this and would never dream that it could be such a despicable act. Please also let other  female friends and relatives know.   Ho pefully, these fraudsters have ceased this activity by now but you never know.

A good plan today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow.

FW: Beware your handphone for updating??

Dear  all

I cannot  stop myself from sharing this with all of  you.

Its  all started when I received a call from someone  claimed that he was Maxis asking me to shutdown  phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place.  As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not  question any shutdown my cell  phone.

After  45 minutes I feel very suspicious since the  caller did not even introduce his name. I  quickly turned on back my cell phone back and I  received several numbers of call;few numbers from my  family members and the other numbers was from  the number that call me before;3954380.

I  called my parents and I was shocked that they  sounded very worry asking me whether I am safe.  My parents told me that they received a call  from someone claimed that they have me with them  and asking for money to let me free. The call  was so real and my parents even heard my voice  crying
out loud asking for help. My parent  was at the bank waiting for next call to proceed  for money transfer. I told my parents that I am  safe and asking them to lodge a police  report.

Right  after that I received again call from the guy  asking me to shutdown my cell phone for another  1 hour which this time I refused to do so and  hung up. They keep calling my cell phone until  the battery run down. I myself lodge a police  report and was informed by the officer that  this
kind of scam always reported. MOST of  the cases reported that the victim already  transferred the money! And it is impossible to  get back the money. Bank can only returned back  the money if the owners of the account agree to  do
so or there is a court  order.

Guys,  be careful that this kind of scam might happened  to any of us!!!
Those guys are so  professional and very convincing during calls.  If you asked to shutdown your cell phone for  updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND!  Your friend should receive the same  call.

Any  Customer Service should introduce their NAME AT  THE BEGINNING of the call. Ignore them if you  don't get a name at the beginning of the call..  If you received instructions from unrecognized  number/person that you are not sure, make your  own judgment. The BEST is DO NOT RESPONSE
If  you cannot pickup your loved one's call, DO GIVE  A CALLBACK immediately! Update your loved one  with ALTERNATE CONTACT wherever you  are

If  you think you are SMART that you cannot be  cheated, You are wrong!  

Be  Safe and Stay Alert!

FW: 貨到再付款，這是很高招的騙術

貨到再付款，這是很高招的騙術
貨到再付款，這是很高招的騙術網路廣告最近一些高價的東西，例如：手機、DVD、notebook、DC.....等都便宜的離譜，並告訴你〝收到貨再付款〞。 （不要以為〝收到貨再付款〞就不會被騙錢...）雖然你會收到全新的機器，而且操作正常。

心想：這樣應該就沒問題了，所以就把錢匯給他。
結果原來他是用假信用卡去訂貨，然後直接從郵購公司寄到你家，你以為已經收到貨，所以就匯錢給他，等到郵購公司發現是假信用卡時，追查貨物流向，就找上你家，貨不但被收，你還得澄清不是你使用假信用卡。
可以把這個郵件轉寄給你所認識的每個人，以免有人被騙！
