Weird Phone Calls


Within 1month i received 2 weird phone calls, from dont know what she says is a china tour agency. Head of the month i received a call from them, they just call to ask 3 questions for survey. Then today i just got their call again, this time is a guessing game.


She will ask a question, then i answer. If got it right, she said i will win a tour for 2 to "Hong Kong"<- (forget hong kong or which part of china which have the disneyland). Dont know right or wrong, my answer is but she say is wrong.


Then she say nevermind, i still can stand a chance to win a jackpot prize in a computer generate lucky draw. She ask me to pick a number within a range, i think 1 to 100/200 ba. Then the first one i pick she say sorry the computer show that someone already picked the number. Then i repick another number, this time she tells me... "in chinese" Gong Xi Gong Xi/Gratz gratz. The number you pick won the jackpot prize of (10k). Then she says she need to record down some of my personal details. Believe it or not, i just give -_-".


Then the thing getting more troublesome. She told me to call a international line, to activate the cheque which they will be sending over. Luckily my phone cant call international numbers, so i did not carry on. Then after around 4hr time, she called again. Saying that i had not called to activate the cheque, and hope i can faster activate it.


After some checking on the url she gave me, saying that is their company url. A little double checking from Chris. I decided to admit this might be a scam, so followed up any incoming "private number" phone calls. I did not pick up, dont know why. When they call, my caller display appear to have no number not even the word "private number". That make me more suspicious is it a scam -_-"


Hope this scam do not affect any other people O.o"', cos till now i never came across any news report about this scam.
