These were what happened recently:-1) About 2 months ago, while walking to the car park to pick up my car, there was this China man (why I said China man? cos of his strong typical accent) who stopped me and asked me if I understood Mandarin. At 1st, I said yes and then he started his story by saying he was from elsewhere, got stranded in Klang, needed some money to take a cab back to his place... blah blah blah. Then once I realised the bullshit, I just told him off by saying "Sorry, I don't understand you".Then about 3 weeks ago, around the same area there was the same guy again and this time around he was with a lady. Again he shouted at me to get my attention, then his partner walked up to me and asked me the same old stuff, that was if I understood Mandarin. As I recognised the guy and I knew this would be the same old trick again, I told off the lady with the same excuse "I don't understand Mandarin, sorry can't help you". Then both of them walked away without saying anything further... I am wondering, why nowadays so many con-men and con-women around? So guys, be careful if such people walk up to you asking the same question. Description of the man: Chinese man in the 40s with moustache and heavy Chinese accent, carrying a hand purse (the A4 size type)... be aware of this guy.2) This one actually happened to me this afternoon. A smartly dressed up (formal dress code) old Indian man (in his 60s) came up to my office requesting to see the Regional Manager. My colleague then asked me to help and see what does the man want. That guy even specifically mentioned he only wanna talk to a male. So thinking it was a walk-in customer, I went to see him. And there he started telling me he was from Seremban, his car battery run flat and therefore have to change car battery, he went to his ATM & he got no money in his a/c, blah blah blah. He said he has just changed a used battery for RM42 and he only got RM12 in his wallet. Therefore, he wanted me to lend him RM30. He even showed me his IC and said he would gimme a cheque dated 12/9/07 for RM30 so that I can bank in the money later. At 1st I wanted to tell him off, but when he said this "On a humanitarian ground, can you help me by lending me RM30?" Wow, great choice of word <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /> Then I was telling myself, what the heck... RM30 only and if he really wanna cheat me, let it be as I just wanna be kind and do some charity work <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> hehe. So I told him to wait at the counter, went back to my desk to take out RM30 and passed it to that colleague of mine and asked her to pass the money to him. Then after taking the money, he went off...without even giving the cheque as he promised. To me, it was ok but it only proved that he is a con-man (I might be wrong) <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> So there it goes again, another con case in Klang...so guys be careful with this guy & his story if he ever come to your office <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Description: Old Indian man in his 60s, wearing specs, nicely dressed up with a tie and carrying a suitcase. He claims he is from Seremban and was formerly an ex-Banker.Oh yeah, these happened at Klang (near Tabung Haji building area).I hope my stories did not bore any of you guys reading this <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> hehe. Take it as a lesson for everyone and for you guys in Klang, take it as a warning...who knows they might walk up to you 1 day.Cheers`</p></blockquote><p></p>
