Hong Kong Scam: Strikes again!


Ladies and gentlemen, now I'm about to fore told my first hand experience on facing this tremendous Hong Kong scam. Here's how it started.

Week 1:
I was having semester break at the time being. Suddenly, a phone call rang on my hand phone. There's this lady calling from a company saying that this company is a group that deals with holiday resorts, hotels, and other leisure activities. She said her purpose for calling me is to conduct a survey. At the moment I did not really pay attention to what she said. All was in Chinese and I just go along with the conversation. She also asked me to note down this membership number A63328.



Week 2:
During this week, my new semester starts. I receive another private phone call from this group. I supposedly felt that it is the same lady again from the last week phone call. This time, she told me that on 15 September 09, Astro will have a program which their company will conduct a lucky draw session. She said that the program will start at 6pm and ask me to watch. Well since me and my family do not have Astro, I did not care much bout it. She also asked me what is my membership number and I replied her I've forgotten then she told me my membership number and advised me not to lose it again.

Week 3:
It was Hari Raya during this week and again I'm having one week of semester break. Another call came from this lady again. With her own excitement, she was announcing that I had won cash prize worth HK$380,000.00 which is converted to RM176,000.00. She said that since I did not claim the prize on that day, the company had my cash prize on hold. In order to get the cash prize, I need to give her my account number which I gave to her. She also told me that her manager will give me a call to confirm my details. She also gave out her office number which is 00852 3065 7232.

The next day, the manager did called me. He congratulate me and asking me to confirm my details and so on. He also ask me to call up Hang Seng Bank (fake) with the number 00852 3065 7232. Details given tome is that my account number is 3069 6909 7398. Password is 158158. So, I called up this "Bank" and the person who received me call had confirm with me my account balance is HK$380,000.00.

Week 4:
This week, yesterday, (Tuesday, 29 Sept 09) I called this group up since I'm curious why I still did not received the cash prize yet. This was what I was told. In order to received the money, I have to deposit an amount of RM4,400 for the bank insurance in order to proceed for the cash prize transaction and this deposit have to be cash into Public Bank account holder Kee Yong Guan (4562 5163 28). I was also told that once the transaction is successful, the deposit will be given back to me. I eventually believed him until I called my uncle whether is it reliable for this case to happen. My uncle said, as long as if I need to transfer money to them, they are related to financial fraud.

I did my research on this company named Yihao International Leisure Group provided with URL:www.yihaogroups.com What i did was using WhoIs to domain scan the URL to obtain it's IP address 202.65.207.245. As you know static IP address will not tell lies and traced down their location to Lok Shan Building, Ting On st., Ngau Tau Kok, HK. Compared to the address given on their website, it says they are located at International Finance Centre, HK. Therefore it is obviously a financial fraud.

My Revenge:
Today, I made my judgment day upon Yihao International Leisure Group. After my class, I called up Public Bank to inform them this financial fraud case and have this account holder Kee Yong Guan to be investigated. Next, I called back to this manager telling him that instead through Public Bank banking, for my convenient, I made a "bankdraft" from Maybank. Then, he asked me to fax the "bankdraft" to him. Well, I asked him is there any other way to send the "bankdraft". He replied saying that through e-mail will be possible and giving me such a lame e-mail, yihaogroups@HOTMAIL.com. I was like "WAD THE FUG?!!! HOTMAIL?"

While having my big laughter for such group using HOTMAIL for god sake! So, here came an idea instantaneously. My subconscious asked me to create my own "bankdraft" which looks like this.
==========================================


=========================================
Of course, I'm curious what is happening, so I called the lady's office number.

So I said, since I'll be having the cash prize after the process is successful, I'd like to pay Hong Kong a visit to meet them up.

Then she asked, did I really complete the process correctly? What stuff did I sent to their HOTMAIL? If I'm not going to take the cash prize then say so. Why treat them like a financial scammers. If that's so, then it's better that we STOP CONTACTING EACH OTHER!!!

With evil laughter, I answered back saying, that's the whole idea!

I'm glad that she was very pissed off... she banged off the phone...

U.O.Sunderland: Another Year's Begining


Now, now, I'll be entering 2nd year with a twinning program of Mechanical Engineering under University of Sunderland. The subjects to be studied will be much tougher as said. But, for me, how tough it will be, I'll try my best to take it all in to my head... Ouch!

I never had a real planning when I 1st join in for the 1st year degree program. So, this is what I plan for my 2nd year.

1. Ban myself from playing PC / MMO games
2. Visit campus library more often
3. Read more articles about the world (maybe Times mag.)
4. Give in x2 effort in studies and make early preparation
5. Improve in writing by writing more blog post

Oh well, i've been trying out time scheduling since I was studying at Curtin, Sarawak campus but wasn't really effective for me since I rarely follow my time schedule. Oh gosh.. any recommendations?

Life just sucks if I just stay the same. : /

My Blog: Amateur Design

As the title said, my blog have to be redesigned. After viewing G-inXane for many times, new ideas comes in but the thing is, how do you code it? I had a history of learning HTML codes since 2004/2005. I learned it myself and with MS FrontPage, I did quite a few own webpages and uploaded it to Geocities. I bet those pages are long gone since Geocities does delete inactive account and now Geocities free user account is close.

HTML isn't sufficient to create a good looking side. HTML is like learning basic modern maths, DHTML is like high school modern maths and come CSS is most suitable to be described as additional maths. I was playing around with CSS codes awhile ago until i managed the third column for G-inXane. After helping my dear old school friend to create her personal web page for her assignment purpose, using CSS coding for the page layout gave me more confident in learning more about CSS coding.

Above page was built using Kompozer (Freeware)

Of course my friend's web page wasn't build by my own coding since CSS codes are readily coded and displayed as templates for beginners to use. As long as you are able to understand the codes, it'll be easy for you to spot errors when you are editing them.

But before proceeding into the next stage. I have to know what topic is interesting for readers and being inspired of it. Basically, of course blogs are mainly to write about your life style, news, scientific topics etc. etc. but it'll be worthless if you write something which Gizmodo had already written right? Well, that'll be decided by the future me.



Without change, there will be no improvement.

My Semester Break: Helping Hands

For some reasons, workers especially the Chinese in Kuala Terengganu do have weird attitudes. First, they promise to come the next day to do the work being instructed. However, we waited for the worker for days to come. My dad was really pissed off with them. So, with the available tools the worker brought, my dad started to hack the wall just in one day. As for me, I helped out with clearing bricks and stones being hacked out and clean up the area after the work is done.

Dad, as always strong in doing these heavy stuffs. Wad'ya expect from someone who worked at offshore platform for many years...

3 bricks down, a concrete beam was found.

After 7 hours of drilling and hacking.

Same time as above. 3pm

Photo taken after cleaning the area. It's evening 7pm

3 days after (today), the worker finally came. He was shocked temporarily cas dad stole his bowl of rice. Well, dad told him to patch up the walls.

Another week, I'll be back to Damansara on September 11. Hope my bus back to KL won't be hijacked by terrorist to be ramped into KLCC twin tower. :D
