The Real Hustle - The Black Money Blag
The Real Hustle - The Drop Swindle
I heard about the a similar scam, a pimp call a victim up on random one day and ask the victim (guy) to be a male prostitute for a day and promises all kinds of pretty customers (Japanese tourist) dying to part with their money for escort males and some other special services!
The Hustle then asked many questions like what is the descriptions of the victim and try to ask specific questions to "interview" him for the job and eventually ask the victim to bank transfer the "down payment" to be a male prostitute. The offer of a lucrative "job" and have some "fun" seems like a great deal and the victim falls for it.
The hustle then text the victim the location for a rich customer to come meet you and eventually nobody came. The number was no longer entertained and the police cannot help the victim as it's illegal to be a male prostitute. So the victim had been Hustled money without even seeing the Con Man and the best part is the police cannot even help the victim! No warning is possible in the police side too...So be very careful on things that are too good to be true...it probably is! :)

In Singapore, this is a lot harder to achieve as I had worked in a credit card company previously and it does need lot's of other additional documents photocopy such as Identity Card/EP/Passport/Notice of Assessment/CFP Contribution History/Existing Credit Card Photocopy and of course come to think about it...it's rather dangerous for the bank to send us out to the streets applying credit cards for the public in the ATM!!!

And with a long ruler that I had for home work...I fished the key out from the bottom of the door...and managed to enter my house at last! That prompts me not to put my key on my door ever again and locked my old metal windows every time I go home!

http://www.spf.gov.sg/mic/2007/071018_supcourtphonescam.htm
24/10/2007.About noon time, there is an incoming call to my office direct line. When I pick up the call, it was a voice recorded message that said, 'You have a message from the Supreme Court. Press 9 to listen to the message.' I pressed 9 and it was transferred to an operator that answered by saying, 'Supreme Court reception, can I help you?' I told her I received a voice message from Supreme Court telling me to press 9 to listen to that message.
She proceeds to ask me for my name and I/C number. So I told her and it sounded like as it she is keying in and paused awhile and told me I had a notice from Supreme Court with a charge of working with 'Ah long' (Illegal Loan sharks) to open 2 bank accounts for them and the Supreme Court had already sent me Court summon letter to me. I was so shocked and told her I did not know any loan sharks and I will never do that and I did not receive any letter from Court at all.
She told me for that I'm one of the person who is involved in this illegal act and if I want to verify my case, she would get the CID police in charge of this case to call me.
In less than a few minutes, I received a call from someone who claimed to be a CID officer looking for me. I answered him I am the person he's looking for. He told me that on such a date, the police had cracked down and napped a 'ah long' (Illegal Loan Sharks) and in his house, they found a name list containing several bank accounts open by a group of people and I happen to be one of them.
I was so socked and told him that I never would do such a thing and I do not know any ah long or loan sharks at all. He then challenge me and told me, 'do you want to see the evident we got?' I told him, 'Yes I would like to come down to your police office to see it because I did not do that.'
I then asked him to give me the address, which department he is from and his name so that I can go down to see him. He gave me his name is Officer Khoo Boon Hui at Police HQ. CID Tower . Blk C, level 5. His office number is 6435 0000. However he quickly change the subject and ask me a few questions to pretend to be investigating me. He asked me have I lost my I/C, Bank account book? I answered No. He then asked me did I let anyone photocopied my I/C or Bank account book? I thought for a while and answered him I did a few months back at DBS Bank when I thought of opening a Investment Account. He then told me that it could be due to corruption, the bank officer may have sold my data to the Ah long (loan shark) in return for some cash.
He told me since from his investigation he assume I'm innocent and one of those whose I/C and bank data the ah long (loan shark) obtained from corrupt bank officers to make false ID and bank document to open bank account, he would fax my case to a Supreme Court office to further investigate and present my case before the Judge. As such there is no need to go down to see him at the police HQ he said.
He told me he will get the Supreme Court officer in charge to call me and further arrange how she can help me to plead with the Judge together with those innocent parties that had been framed. From the voice of that man officer who talked to me, I can tell his speaking accents sound like from China.
My mind was so confused and troubled after hearing him talked to me all these things I did not question that at the moment..
In a while time, a lady called me on my mobile phone saying the 'CID' who had earlier on investigated me had called her and told her about my case.
She would need me to cooperate with her in further investigation. She told me that she would need to begin to do a series of questions she need me to answer honestly. All my conversation with her will be recorded as Court evident. It's so professionally done that you think you're really going through a investigation answering those questions like did you disclose any of your bank information, documents, ID to anyone? Did you loss your passport, ID, bank book, credit card??
At the end of the series of questions, she told me that they are working together with international police to crack down these illegal ah long loan sharks organization that go around corrupt bank officers to sell their customer's bank information, photo copied ID document to do fake IDs, passports, and open bank accounts for them.
She told me that right now just because I said I'm innocent it doesn't prove anything.
She need me to do one last thing. She asked me how many bank account do I have and how much money I have in my bank account. She said she need me to cooperate with them to check my bank account to see if there's any activities transactions that are unusual. She need me to go to Bankok Bank at Cecil street to TT my bank account money to this 'International Police' account to monitor and protect my money for me as my bank account is no longer saved as anytime it could be frozen.
If I am really innocent and has nothing to do with any ah long organization, I would cooperate with them to help them catch any party that is using my account to wash black money for them. If I don't cooperate with them to TT my money then it is clear to them that I have something to do with ah long organization and she shall turn me over to the Judge straight away to pled me guilty and sentence me.
It was under so much confusion and fear that they succeed to con people to TT money to this unknown 'International police officer' said to be someone who will monitor any suspicious transactions, dealing and to save guard and protect the victim's money. She assured me that if after the investigation is over about 2 hours later, after they checked my account and found nothing unusual and no black money, that international police officer will contact me and will TT the money back into my bank account.
I was really confused and when I kept asking her for any black and white to verify her identity to really make sure she is a real officer from Supreme Court that she told me her name is officer Hong Mui Ying and I can reach her at this Supreme Court telephone number: 63381034.
She told me not to hang up and not to tell anybody about what I'm about to do so that it will not mess up their investigation process. She instructs me to go to 108 Cecil Street , BangKok Bank to TT the money. She told me to talk to her when I arrived at BangKok Bank then she would disclose to me the details of the International Police to whom I am to TT my money to.
The following is the details she gave me to TT my bank money to when I arrived at
Bangkok Bank:
Name of person receiving the money: MOORDOO JAESH
Account No: 398-073768-2
Address: MAESAI
I almost TT one thousand dollars to this account she gave me to TT my money to. But while I was at the counter, something on the inside of me tells me, 'how could you simply believe these things she talked to you about? How do you know if she really is a Supreme Court officer? You don't even know who this person she told you to TT your money to. What if this is a cheat and once you TT your money over to this unknown person, you get cheated of your money?' So I withhold what I was about to do at that moment and started to talk to this 'Supreme Court officer' again on the phone.
I asked her if I can go down to Supreme Court and look for her to verify her identity also with Supreme Court too. She told me she would be very busy as she is handling a lot of such cases and may not have time to see me. She kept telling me to cooperate with her if I'm really innocent and should let them check my money which makes no sense to me. Finally I said to her, 'I really want to go down to Supreme Court to verify your identity and I don't mind waiting for you at the Supreme Court. Should you be busy, I'll wait for you at Supreme Court and also want to check with the officer at Supreme Court too if you really are an Officer who work there.' She then said, 'ok, you may come down to Supreme Court and look for me.'
After I put down the phone, I went straight to Supreme Court to look for her. To my surprise, when I was there at Supreme Court reception counter to ask for this lady officer, the receptionist told me that there isn't any such lady officer in Supreme Court and I'm not the only person who had came down to look for or called to look for these lady officer.
Then the receptionist took out a recent newspaper and showed me that recently a man was cheated of $10,000 also received such call claiming to be officer from Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court receptionist then asked me for my name and IC number when I was there at Supreme Court reception counter to check if there are any real court case or charges
I have. So I gave him my IC number and Name. After searching through the system, he told me that he cannot find any charges or court case with me. It was then I realized that I have been conned by those 3 people who had impersonated to be Supreme Court staff and CID.
Then the receptionist told me that it is better for me to go down to a police station to do a police report on this and I went down to Kreta Ayer NPP to made a police report on the same day 24/10/2007.
I hope the police would quickly catch these evil cheaters out there trying to cheat people of their money. The police officer at Kreta Ayer NPP also told me I'm not the only victim of such case. He told me I can go and read about this at investigation by the phone. veri funni. they usualli bring u to their HQ for investigation not the phone
There are also another case that claims to have abducted the child from them...and let them hear the fake "screams" of their child...ask them not to put down the phone and place money in the secluded place for them to pick it up or else they will harm the child. This case is reported in the Chinese news paper...BE VERY VIGILANT FOR SUCH CALLS!!!
If you buy some stuff from a shop or mall in your city and are not satisfied with its quality, you can promptly go back to the shopkeeper and register your grievance easily. But have you ever been scammed by any website or online offer? Those who have wasted money on online offers on internet understand the pain of being cheated and not being able to get their money back. They also start believing erroneously that online transactions mostly are risky.
This article arms you with rock solid information to save you from such situations. And this is especially for those who want to make money online. Anybody who wants to make a living from internet must scrutinize the 'make-money-online-websites' keeping in mind the following points.
1. Associations
Websites and companies which run their affiliate programs through clickbank.com and cj.com are generally reliable. Clickbank for example directs its merchants to refund the money to the buyer if he or she is not satisfied. If you are not satisfied with the credit card manager of the website in question, don't buy!
2. Look for 'how it works'
If the website gives you detailed information as to 'how' their system or software works, that generates reliability. Some sites on the other hand use suspense to create curiosity and do not reveal how their system works and they exaggerate the quality and features of their product, but that strategy may be fraught with scam. An example of a visitor friendly site is 'www.seoelite.com'. Go have a look.
An honest site would appear to say-"Look, this is what we offer, and it's up to you to decide whether or not to buy". And a dishonest site would appear to say- "This is the best system/ software/ e-book on the planet. Buy it now or you will be a loser! We offer two dozen bonuses with our product."
3. Read FAQ
Good websites have a detailed FAQ section. Always read it before buying. Many revelations are buried deep in the FAQ pages. For instance, on a 'paid surveys' website FAQ page you may find that it is not that useful for your country if you live outside USA.
4. Testimonials
Testimonials may or may not be real. Believe only if you see some big and reliable names of that niche and/or if email address or web address of the person giving testimonial is also included.
5. Proofs- Clickbank account images
Many sites show images of their Clickbank affiliate account to show how much money they are minting. While the images may be real the income shown may be from a system other than what is claimed by the webmaster. You can not verify it.
6. Countdown timer and time limited prices
You must have seen those countdown timers and those 'buy before this Tuesday' offers. You go to the same site after the expired time or date and you will find the same timer ticking and the offer extended to another Tuesday. That exposes what those webmasters think you are.
7. Don't fall for free stuff and bonuses
Keep your focus on the product which you are looking for and not for the bonuses, or you might end up with a compromised product just because you were blinded by the lure of free stuff.
8. Go and find in a forum
It always pays to read some unbiased testimonials in a forum. Just type the name of the product followed by 'forum' in Google search box and you will get all the opinions of those who have used that software or system. An added advantage is that you get comparisons with other similar softwares or systems.
9. Customer Support
Good websites have high-quality customer support and promptly reply to your emails before and after purchasing the product. The tricksters will not reply especially if you ask for a refund.
10. Listen to your conscience
After analyzing the points described above, incubate everything in your mind and forget about it at least for a day. Human brain does wonders at subconscious level. Thereafter listen to your inner voice and decide whether or not to buy the product.
So next time you see a site asking you to buy their product, use these x-ray techniques to see what you will really get if you buy. Uncovering their malicious intention is not difficult.
