Scam
hey guys, this isnt canoeing related but i thought you might wanna know this as well.
there apparently is a scam going around whereby two chinese girls (quite lovely looking) go around mrt stations and ask you for your phone cos theirs is dead (no battery) and they need to call their friend.
they will then proceed to talk with that friend and then they suddenly have to go off and meet him (and use your phone at it) if u say no (and hu wouldnt), theyll offer to exchange their phone with the dead battery for yours. and switch sim cards.
i know this because
1)my friend experienced it yesterday and now he has a new phone (albeit a better one with camera inside, think of it as an upgrade without the hassle) but he doesnt know whetehr the phone is a dud or it really is out of battery. i think its someone else's phone and these two ladies are somehow involved in the trading and buying of old phones on the black market.
2)today, after i left school and reached home at Braddell mrt, i was approached by two ladies who spoke fluent mandarin (cos theyre from china) and asked me for my phone to make a phone call to their friend cos theirs is out of battery.
now, isnt this strangely familiar? the alarm bells started ringing.
so i decided to kek (bluff) a bit. i told them i left my handphone at home. then they offered to come to my house to take it. (what the hell??!!)
then i suggested they lend it from their friendly neighbourhood station control man. they called me a petty person in chinese (xiao qi) and then one of them noticed i had my handphone in my pocket. (now, arent they just a little too sharp for two seemingly lost-in-a-foreign-country girls?)
yea so anywae they pleaded with me for my handphone, whereupon i said no and just walked off. then they called me some chinese vulgarity (i think it meant "small tits" or something like that)
so i zaoed out of the station and they were sort of following behind me. now, i mean theyre just two lovely ladies, but what if those lovely ladies had lovely knives which they could stick in my back? so i just ran all the way home like a humchee kid. better to be safe than sorry. an quan di yi (safety first)
yes, so this is a public service announcement. hope you guys dunt get suckered as well!
