The kettle calling the snow black.Originally posted by iceball:is TS that sgt lim clone? -
I looked at the Caller ID and before I passed it to my colleague, I told her to say she is my wife (the previous day I was telling her about receiving such calls and that I played along) and she asked the woman:
"What do you want with my husband?"
We had such a good laugh... -

Only greedy and stupid people fall for it.
But sadly , there are lots of these kind of people.

Anyone can provide link to the SC thread on the million-dollar salaries abovementioned? Would like to readOriginally posted by LatecomerX:-___________-
It's just 10 bucks, which is going to save dozens of people of their hundreds and thousands who have read this thread.
If you want to make noise, please go to SC's thread on the million-dollar salaries which don't seem to justify itself from any perspective. -

Rise in phone scams in the first three months of 2008
SINGAPORE: Police said that there has been an increase in the number of phone scams reported in the past three months of this year despite police warnings and reminders to the public.
The latest cases revealed that some fraudsters had posed as Supreme Court staff and police officers.
They would inform their victims that they were involved in criminal cases or court hearings and direct them to transfer money into a bank account to clear their name.
Telephone numbers of a police department or courts would show up in the caller ID of the victim’s phones, although no such calls were made in the first place.
The numbers include, 63381034 (Subordinate Courts Enquiry hotline), 64350000 (Criminal Investigation Department’s hotline) and 999 (Police hotline).
Another common trick that the fraudsters employ is to pretend to be police officers, claiming that the victim’s family members had been kidnapped.
Both scams involve tricking their victims into transferring money into their accounts.
The public is advised to be on the alert when receiving such phone calls and to verify the identity of the caller with the agency or organisation concerned. — CNA/vm
