<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->YESTERDAY'S letter, "Take action against phone scare scams", reminded me that I had recently received a scam call as well.
On April 8, I received a telephone call from someone who pretended to be my son. He was sobbing as he spoke in Mandarin, telling me that he was in trouble.
I asked who he was and he said he was my son. When I asked for his name, his reply was: "I am your son, you don't know my name?"
Then the caller hung up.
The problem is, I do not have a son. Can the police advise us what to do when we receive such calls? Ong Leng Mui (Ms)
U asking me? I donch know lah! *chey*
