Phone scam that the writer received, and she almost fell for it, but didn’t, thank heavens! Translated…
Several years ago, I bought a mosquito trapping lamp online, but, not only weren’t the mosquitoes fooled, they’d, attacked with, that blood-thirsty mean, and so, after only a few short days, we’d, put that mosquito trapping lamp, into, the attics.
We’d originally thought, that this would be the end of the lamp, and yet, on the evening a few weeks later, we suddenly received a call from customer services, the individual first, checked my identity, confirmed it was me, then, inquired, if I’d bought a mosquito trapping lamp on a website, as she heard that I’d responded yet, she’d used a more serious tone of voice, “you’d purchased something that’s $120,000N.T. from the website later, if you want to cancel this order, do come to the bank before midnight tonight, to the clerk, and follow the instructions we give to you, otherwise, the amount will be deducted from your bank account.”
I’d asked out of the blue, if I’d not purchased anything else from the website, of course I wanted the order canceled, then the person used that as an advantage, “seeing how you’d, mistakenly ordered, then, you must, go to the bank to stop your bank from paying!”, as I was hesitant, my son heard me, and came over, firmly stated, “mom, don’t listen to them bullshit, this is a scam ring!”, suddenly, I awoke, from the words, and, acted like nothing was the matter, changed the subject, and I’d heard that the woman carried a Cantonese accent, and I’d, started, carry on in conversations in Cantonese with her, then, the scam artist loosened her guard, and then, showed who she was.

bad people who think they can, keep on fooling those who aren’t aware enough…photo from online
I’d warned her, “woman, you are from my same hometown, please, don’t EVER use this sort of a means, to scam others, doing bad things to take advantage of others, it will all, come back to, you. The laws and technologies go hand in hand these days, do NOT think that because you’re calling from China, you can fool anybody, you sounded quite young, go find a formal position that can earn you your living, the correct way!”, then, I’d, slammed down my phone.
Later, as I’d heard that someone I knew got scammed, and lost the money, or mistakenly trusted the scam artists, and ought whatever junk they didn’t need, I truly hoped, that my heartfelt word to that woman with the Cantonese accent, can actually get into her ear canals, to help her stop doing what she was, doing.
And so, this still just showed, how those scam artists are, swarming like them, FLIES, and you can’t just, SWAT them off, because you swat off one, there comes, another, and another, and another, and another, and these scam rings are targeting those who are young, who can’t find work, to work for them, and because the younger generations are enticed by the bullshits of easy money, no hard work, that’s why, they’re all, falling, into the traps, and, working as the scam artists, and, there are more and more of these, phone scams these days, and we must all, be more aware, to NOT fall for the same old trick in that god damn B-O-O-K!
