Disclaimer: This is what I heard from my friend, I do not hear it directly from the person himself. Anyway this disclaimer is to protect myself from ISA ruling(just in case, since freedom of speech is limited in our country ). Let’s call the person X.

This happened when X was around 15 years old. He was from a rather rural area in Malaysia, and suddenly some of his friends got really rich. They went clubbing every night and earn about RM2k per month. That is a lot for a 15 year old boy and he got really interested to become rich as well.

When asked, they told him they found a job at KL and they recommended him to join them. Obviously this job is to become a part of this scam.

So he said everyday they were trained to practise their acting and lying skills, and he said it is not weird when we got cheated because 9 out of 10 person who listened to what they said would be successfully persuaded to part with their money since their acting skills have been perfected everyday.

They would be given RM300 when they successfully cheated one person. They would then be treated to clubbing activities every night. In conclusion, their lives are very relaxed and money is easy to find for them. They can get about RM2k per month as mentioned above and they would be given a car once they reached the supervisor level(if I am not mistaken).

Here comes the part where disclaimer is really needed, I seriously have no idea whether this is true or not. X claimed that he has been locked up in “lokap”(what do we call this in English by the way?) a few times by the police when they got caught for their cheating activities, but someone would call the police and the police would be scared and immediately let them go. According to X, that caller is actually someone who is a government official. Okay, most probably this scam has nothing to do with our government, which I would seriously want to believe so. Maybe this person is just one of the corrupted government officials who give our country a bad name? I don’t know. That explains why police don’t do their jobs in combating them I guess.

X felt guilty after working for a couple of weeks and quit the job. It has been a long time since he worked for them and he has turned over a new leaf.
