Anyone got calls and your handphone shows the location Hong Kong, Panama, Secylls Island etc? I don't know what's their issue when they just hang up once I take up. They get any benefit from doing that? Of course I am pretty sure they are scammers, but phone rings non stop and I wonder what tactics they are going to use.

One more thing, if you are not staying with your parents, please tell them not to disclose anything even if the caller claims they are from bank.

My mother at hometown received a call once from "Maybank", she freaked out. Start calling me if I owe Maybank money, cause the caller said I owe money. I never owe Maybank any money. I warned my mum not to talk to stranger anymore cause I will never give out hometown number.

Second time, a caller claimed to be my former classmate call up and chatted with her. Mum basically told her everything about me, where I work, which area I stay, whats my phone number etc. Mum only told me about it recently and I was shocked as I never knew anyone called 'Susan'. Once again, I remind her, anyone wish to call me will know my handphone number, not home number even if it's classmate.

Now, I remove all documents that contain my IC number etc from my hometown, so my mum will have no information to accidentally feed the scammer.
