I had just experience this myself today at 1.40pm, 30th June 2010.
Someone called me from this number: 03-26163822 and claim that he is Inspector Liew from Bukit Aman.
Inspector Liew confirm my name and I said yes.
Then he explain that he calling because there was a case in HK where 2 guys (he mention 2 names which sound familiar to me) had been caught by HK police for drug smuggling.
And they found my Citibank account details on that. (WTF, I don’t even have any Citibank Card or Account).
Then he said that this is now a very serious case and if I want to cover myself, I need to call the HK police at 00852-65207072 to find Inspector Wong Kuan and report the case.
He also gave me his personal number 016-3901947. This start to sound fishy to me as my first thought was it might be my friend playing prank with me through radio station like OneFM.
But then, this Inspector Liew hangs up the line.
So I call back to the originator number 03-26163822. Surprisingly it is really Bukit Aman Police Station. I ask for Inspector Liew and the nice lady who pickup told me that this whole thing is a scam. She said that there were already a lot of people been scam by this. It was an international scam group who hacks and steals the Bukit Aman line. She mentions that when you call the HK number, they will ask you a lot of question about your account number and etc, which will end up; they transfer all your money out. (I really don’t know how they do that by just knowing your account number).
So please spread this news to all your friend to make sure they don’t fall under this stupid scam.
