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.

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.

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…

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.

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.
