Lucky? Fraud?

Received a call from a company called Venice (威尼斯公司), for a survey.

Few days later, another call from them claiming that they will have an event in Mid Valley to promote the company and they've given me an authorization code for the lucky draw that will be held in the event.

This Monday, one guy (M1) called me up to check if I go to the Mid Valley, because my lucky code was picked for the 3rd prize.

Yesterday, another guy (M2) call me up in order to settle the transfer of the great amount (US$30,000) to my account. They had provided me a telephone number, I did try the number, sounds a bit like the automated system used by helpdesk.

After entering a few number, the line was redirected to the Customer Service, a guy voice (why always guys! according to the newspaper, sweet + cute voice should turn up!!!) answer and assist me.

According to that fellow (caused this is not a sweet + cute one), I need to have a document: 海外信托保险 (In translation: 海外=oversea 信托=mutual 保险=insurance = OMI) in order to get the amount transfer to me.

Call up the M2, in the conversation, he was so~ professional in helping to get the document ready, touching...

The call end up with M2 ask me to pay for the OMI. Immediately I think, this must be a trap, but somehow I was damn sad. Let's calculate here US$ 30,000 = RM 161,000. I will be driving a shining Honda Civic showing off at Serdang, Cheras, Bukit Jalil, Puchong, JB, Jementah, and Kulai one month later T_T

And me, pretending I'm poor and too many "accidents" join my world recently cause me damn poor. And he could be so persuasive (I wish I possess the skill), and my life was so suffering, complaining the world is not fair to me causing me can't take out such a small amount (compare to RM161,000) for the insurance. End up we both so sad...

Then his manager call me up (isn't the company over caring to the customer?) and again try to persuade me...haiz, for an honest guy like me, it is hard for me to cheat again, hence I described how suffer I struggled and I was so lucky to have a chance to win the great amount but sadly I have to let go...

Men, please, stop calling me, it's hard for me to let the RM161,000 go...

Dear pal, you really waste so much time to be convinced by him and at the same time to think that you would be getting RM161 000? Money dont fall from skies okay :) Work hard and you will get your Civic and etc... :)

Next time they call again, u tell them that you are too late...Tell them that u just invested in one of those internet scam and waiting for the money to bank in to your account and tell them sorry but you would only be able to get back to them when the scam turn out to be true :P Haha...
