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.
[Updated Recording when they call me again!]

July 12th, 2010 at 10:11 am

Hello, all this are the work of so called African and Nigerian bogus students staying at Pusat Bandar Puchong, Wawasan Puchong and Pusat Bandar Puteri. They look so old entering daily into Malaysia through student visas and all of them sitting at Bus stops and Cyber cafes cheating the Malaysians. The immigration DG and Higher Education DG are taking bribes from private colleges and approving student visas for the jungle Africans. Please read newspapers the havoc the Africans are doing now in Malaysia. Prime Minister Najib is not doing anything about this matter.
August 12th, 2010 at 1:46 am
Fuck those African Niggas!!! Those fucking slaves!!! They should all go and fucking die!!!!
Useless black niggas assholes!!! Lets wipe out all the black niggas from the face of this earth!!!

Hi Dragoncity, thanks for your info…
I received the call from inspector Chong tis morning (exactly the same as urs)n so panic. Luckily i google n found ur link…Thanks a lot!
I will spread the this news to everyone!!!
August 17th, 2010 at 5:50 am
Haha, I had the same experience(17/August 12:50 noon) as what mentioned by dragoncity. The number appeared at my mobile phone is +326163822, the person talked to me identify himself as “Inspector Su” (but sound like a Malay guy).
He could clearly read my name and the place I am staying (I wonder where he retrived my data from?) He claimed that I was involved in a case and has been sent out the letter to ask me to report to Bukit Aman for a long time bla bla bla…
I felt fishy about this and sort of heard the scam story before. I stopped the conversation by given an excuse and would return call to him.
When I ask for the contact details, he provide the following number 26163822 (he told me that a lady will pick up and past line to him) and his mobile number is 016-6178171.
I believed this is the same group of ppl.
Please watch out…
August 17th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
Hi DragonCity
Last two days I have the same experience but this times the local police man is call Mr FOO..
I believe they are not well verse in BAHASA and ENGLISH.. They are target Chinese only.
Thanks for the info. Hope you can link your site to Facebook or friendster or any others social web so we can share it to others.
The more people know about it, they will not have the chance to scam people..
August 18th, 2010 at 8:07 am
HI All,
I just received the call from +326163822, and he claimed he is Inspector Foo, and said about people used my name and identification to opening Citibank account and has RM 250,000 inside. If not I tried to search against this number, I would really go to the Bukit Aman to “see” Inspector Foo tomorrow.
August 25th, 2010 at 6:01 am
Hi Everyone,
I had the same call as well today at 12.00pm, and the caller said he is from Bukit Aman and intentionally sounded very hostile and aggressive. The number appearing on my phone is +326163822. I hang up and shortly after, he called back again. And again in an intimidating tone, tried to say that I am implicated in a money laundering scam involving a Mr. Yap Chi Leong and a Mr. Tan something.
So I asked for more information, and he mentioned he is from Jenayah Commercial Tingkat 17 Block C, and his contact is +03-26123822.
Then I told him that I will meet him in a police station again and asked him where. The line was cut-off, and then he called back three more times; and I do not bother to pick up anymore.
When I called the number he gave, a lady picked up and said it is wrong number.
I am calling Maxis (since I am using Maxis, not sure if you fellas are the same) to report this and expect them to block the incoming call. Will see if Maxis can assist.
Please let your love ones know about this.
August 25th, 2010 at 6:44 am
Bro, we go meet him with our A5 and X7, swee swee on him.. How? Swee and Hoe?? If on, I courier my P99 down from Penang. hehehe..
September 29th, 2010 at 3:03 am
Got a call today from ASP Foo Wai Min from 0326163822. Same story – suspected it was a scam but planned on going to Bukit Aman just in case. Lucky I googled this.
October 12th, 2010 at 2:47 am
I received similar call fr Insp Chong boo khin fr bkt aman yerterday afternoon (11-10-10). The no appeared in my hp is +326163822. He is fr commercial crime D4.He told me I ‘m involved in a serious crime case. The polices have arrested 2 chinese man and these 2 man said I let them use my citibank saving a/c for them to do the illegal activity. I know this is a scam as I don’t have citibank a/c! So I did not panic, the guy seem like “tak boleh tahan” with my “tak apa” attitude, and he raised his voice, try to make me scare. He can spelled out my name and IC no. correctly. I straight away ask him what he want, he did not expect me to ask this question and just repeat the above story. After that he said he will send warrant to me. i said OK. I also told him I will call bkt aman to verify his identity.
What bkt aman police and the government is doing? so many scam is happening every day, repeat and repeat, is our society sick already? why people want to earn this kind of dirty money? they will go to hell one day.
October 17th, 2010 at 3:56 am

October 29th, 2010 at 3:39 am

January 18th, 2011 at 5:14 am
Hi Guys Thanks or this website. My mother just got a number 0322662222 a gentleman spoke in broken malay initially so he insisted if my mother spoke chinese hastily.
“I am calling from Bukit Aman Police station ASP Inspector Foo, you are involved in a criminal case in illegal money laundering, we caught two gentleman who claimed to be friends of yours and was instructed by you. We also found your IC number ….(it was correct) and everything in HK police, now HK police request Bukit Aman police to help. You need to clarify your name spelling correctly….(it was correct). You must remember your IC number go check now! (we lied of course we dont know our IC number).
“If you dont confirm your IC number or give us your cooperation, I will SAMAN you, bukit aman will ISSUE an ORDER to force you to come over”
…..we hanged up.
Please pass this message!
January 19th, 2011 at 4:01 am

Thx Dragoncity n u all guys. I just got a call from 03-22662222 from ASP Foo Wai Min (but sounds like a Malay chap) about the same shit as u guys.
Luckily after talking, I googled it.
April 14th, 2011 at 9:15 am
Received the same scam from this number 0322662222
Is a Malay guy not african. He repeat the story of again and he know my IC number and my passport no.
Why don’t the police doing anything about this.
The story is about money laundering. Becareful people. Especially the eldery.
April 15th, 2011 at 4:06 am
Same Same, received call from 03-22662222 this morning.
Malay guy oso, knows my name and accusing me involving in money laundering, please be alert! I suspect they got this info from bank, I went cimb bank bandar baru bangi day before to perform western union transfer, the info should leak out from there.
April 28th, 2011 at 6:51 am
HaHa, happen to me today. Says his name is Foo Wei Min (He does exist in Bkt Aman. Currently on further studies in Australia)I told him will meet him in Bkt Aman and thats when he became evasive and I hang up.
May 11th, 2011 at 3:39 am
My dad received this similar story in this morning as well. I wondering what police didn’t take action since they provide the m’sia contact number. I though now even we need to register details for our prepaid handphone line? They should investigate the number own by who.. sad case. Please beware all. And thx to sharing your story so we know this is scam call.
May 12th, 2011 at 9:03 am
thank you so much for the sharing Dragoncity. I received exactly the same call using scam technique. Bukit Aman number is different, the number i received call from was 03-2616 3999. Two so-call Malaysia Bukit Aman guys talk to me, one named Tuan Leong, the other one name asp Foo Wei Min, who claimed himself as Comercial Crime dept. hp# given to me is 014-3649985. HK number is exactly the same 85265207072.
June 2nd, 2011 at 8:28 am
I got the same thing this morning, exact same number posted by Ms Kang 03-2616 3999, describing himself as ASP Wong, mentioned 2 names to me, saying caught them in Penang and so on, and these 2 guys mentioned my name, something like that, and asked me to meet them at Level 3, Bukit Aman, and give me a DIGI mobile number – did not recall that number, because I was not paying attention to it, as I guessed it has to be a scam.
Thanks to all the guys and girls here for the tips.
June 6th, 2011 at 5:12 am
Same thing happened to me this morning. Luckily I have been warned by a friend about this scam.
My concern is how these buggers have our particulars, ie name, ic, bank acc numbers etc. What is Bkt Aman doing about it since this has been happening since 2009? Are banks in league with these scammers?
June 8th, 2011 at 2:32 am
Some low life calling from 03-22662222 claiming to be Bkt Aman I/O (investigating officer) and demanded me to go to Bkt Aman on Friday. He even asked me whether I speak Chinese and I say no as I liked to speak in Bahasa Melayu. He threatened to have court issue summons to me if I don’t see him.
Just want to add to comments here so that more ppl aware of this “sampah masyarakat”.
July 19th, 2011 at 6:47 am

I got a call from some one who claimed himself from royal malaysia police interpol. Then i received another call claiming to be from interpol which i checked later on and found out that it is a fax number of interpol malaysia …and i was wondering why would some one call me from fax machine number if the case is really genuine and I see that it is nothing but a scam.
November 2nd, 2011 at 7:11 am

I wonder how they know our IC number?

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
