scam

i was blog hopping just now when i came accross this post... check it out before reading further... "SCAM"

and i actually encountered this same situation.....

two days ago while in office, i saw my h/p ringing with the number +0000 appearing on the screen.... well, i am the type of person who do not like to rcv weird weird phone calls... usually i will just ignore it and let it ring.... but this time i got my colleague joanne B to help me to answer the call instead.....

after joanne put down the phone,

me : joanne, what did the caller want?
joanne : she straight away ask me whether i speak mandarin (the caller spoke in mandarin of course) and when i tell her "NO, I DON'T SPEAK MANDARIN", the caller just said "OK" and then hung up the phone

u see-lah.... really got ppl simply dial our h/p number and ask for rubbish! and i am sure they will be able to get someone to fall into their scam... maybe not many ppl will get cheated by them but surely got at least one or two right?
