No one in my family except The Sis knew about the scamming incident. since my blog post about how i was scammed, i received a couple of phone calls and SMSs from friends telling me that they received the same call from the telemarketer.
afraid that The Mum might be a potential victim to the same scam, i wanted to warn her about such cases so that she will not go for such talks in future if contacted...
me: eh ma... you know nowadays you may get phone calls from companies telling you to attend a talk, afterwhich you will get some attractive free gifts.
the mum: uh-huh
me: then hor, when you turn up at their company they will try to hard sell you some travel/holiday membership and it's actually a scam
the mum: orh...
me: so if you get such calls, don't ever turn up for the talks ok?
the mum: yeah...
me: you dont be kiasu and fall for their trap ok?
the mum: ha-nah..
me: eh seriously, you have to take caution!
the mum: walau you very lor soh leh! this kind of scam 20 years ago also have already! they very nice to you, bring you to a small office room, chit chat and try to know your income level, become like so budddy-buddy, friend-friend with you then try to hard-sell you. only those ignorant aunties then will fall into their trap lor! you think i so stupid is it?
me: .......
