But I kept dragging due to the stupid connection that will load for ages whenever I tried to upload those screen shoots. =.="
This post is about some stupid scammer from London (I think) that tried to scam about 4k MYR from me,
and I decided to blog about this after I read the news from China Press last two months. =.="
The person that tried to scam me is someone named Zeal Martin from ahmoi.com.
He kept messaging me at there and asked for my address, and after few times of him asking for my address, I gave him the old address of mine when I'm still in KL.
He then asked for my phone number, saying that he'll call me whenever he can and he gave me his so called UK number as well.
Few days after that, he sent me the first email :
------------------------------------------------------------
Let me know as soon as you receive the parcel ok.

I have sent the parcel containing a new brand HP product lap top computer for you, a rose flower, One Set of Ladies Gold Necklace, One LV Bag and Purse For You and the sum of 4,000 pounds sealed in the same computer pack for you to enable you take care of yourself, and also settle some of your daily needs as, I can imagine how hard you could be working just alone to make a better life. Just accept this token from me. Since there was no time to contact you any longer for your bank account details to do a bank transaction I had no option than to sealed the money in the same pack in a white envelop right inside of a rose flower.
Below attached is a picture of the pack containing the items so that you can identify it.

I then visited the webbie that he gave me, and realised that it seems to be a fake webbie with weird information.
I think they had closed down the webbie because I can't seem to access to the webbie anymore, but I took the screen shoots of each pages at the moment I think this is a scam.
It's just that I'm too lazy to upload everything. =x
Anyway, I then get a phone call from someone that claimed himself as someone that work with the courier company, and he asked me to check my email.

Mr Frank,
I'm Junnie from Malaysia.
I'm not sure about the reference number of the parcel that I should be receiving, and the sender of the parcel inform me that I need to pay certain amount in order for you to send me the parcel.

Mr Frank,
So you are saying that the parcel is still at Malaysia Custom?
May I know which custom is currently holding the parcel?
I said that I prefer to make the payment directly to your office, and you can pick up the parcel directly from the custom so that I can have the parcel on that time.
I know it is not my responsibility but I need to pick up the parcel as soon as possible and I do not wish to spend anytime waiting for the parcel to reach my door step.
I hope that you are able to tell me the location of the office so that I'll be able to make the payment directly.
Thank you.
Junnie

Yes I'll definitely pay a visit to your so-called office without the unit number and stuff.
I know the parcel is not in your office but you do want me to make the payment to you, right?
And I PREFER to make the payment to you at your office.
------------------------------------------------------------
And after that, I never receive any emails from dear Mr Frank as well as the Mr Zeal Martin.
I get my friend from UK to check for me and she said the number that Mr Zeal Martin gave me is actually a fake number.
Well MR FRANK AKA MR ZEAL MARTIN,
please choose your victim carefully next time so that you won't be wasting time on building a fake webbie and replying emails to someone that knows that you're trying to scam her.
Promise? =)
