One look at the email. Anyone would know .. >_> .
For your information sometimes this conman very clever u know. this group will take time to react, for normal people like us may be not their target. for people get use the internet for communication and some professional people is their target. if you read the newspaper many of them are kaya man, sometimes get con almost 100 k, for us who read may think they are stupid easy to get con. but believe me, my uncle get con before, they will use many reason to convince u. if u have blog, email,facebook they will read all your information and use it to kenakan u. my uncle get call from agent for transportation claim that their parcel has been detain by custom, so to settle it must pay RM 2500 the tax and penalty for the item, and need urgent before office hour and if late for one day the cost increase for storage purpose. my uncle don't suspicious anything because his friend from oversea has inform him before want to send parcel. and for information they communicate through blog and mail. my uncle want to confirm with his friend but when look to the time it need urgent response if not need to pay more for them. And to give more confident they will give the account from our local bank. After that tomorrow they call again and claim the charges for transportation due to collect item from custom depot. so need to pay urgent and in the next day they will claim another charges. think that a lot of money have used my uncle stop paying and wait his friend massage, and my uncle shock because his friend told him that item not send yet, and realize get con he lodge a report to police.
may be u all think it easy to settle right
In the police station, my uncle said :
1. why cannot trace phone number, all phone number is register and need to show ic right - the policemen said although all the phone number need to register but many shop do not required ic to register, wonder many PATI have use handphone so how they register.
2. why cannot trace the account number - the policeman said the account sometimes open by drug addict person. this person if con man give them RM100 they will do anything, when this con man got a bank card and pin number it enough to withdraw and this thing happen usually in rural branch like bintulu, kudat etc.
3. why do not double check with local authority -- this group usually make their victim in panic and hurry and sometimes they know their victim is busy men so don't have much time to check.
police said this con man can give any charges they want although this charges seem like ridiculous but the victim still believe like terrorist fee, PBB fee and etc..so be watch out and the morale of this story is please don't expose yourself clearly and sometimes dont be greedy. and clearly police stated that money will not get back..

For those who still doesn't know yet.
BANKS WILL NEVER E-MAIL YOU ANYTHING. IF YOU RECEIVE AN E-MAIL FROM THE BANK(Any Banks) REGARDING ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT. IT'S A FAKE.
PERIOD.
the true online banking usually get padlock icon or key icon below..
