Not again!

Thestar today reported another internet love scam. This time a college lecturer was conned. Same modus operandi as before. How can she be soooo gullible. Didn't she read newspapers?

A COLLEGE lecturer lost RM30,000 after getting acquainted with a man who claimed to be a doctor on the social networking site Facebook,Kosmo! reported.

Pahang commercial crime chief Supt Zaini Jass said the victim, 49, got to know “Dr Bruce Burn” from the United States on Jan 7.

When they were communicating, the “doctor” told her that he was based in the United States and was looking for a companion to settle down with.

He further deceived her by saying that he was prepared to settle down in Malaysia after marriage and would be coming to the country to meet her.

However, Supt Zaini said a man, who claimed to be a customs officer, contacted the lecturer and told her that the “doctor” had been arrested at KLIA for carrying £25,000 (RM121,567) that was not declared.

“The victim then paid RM30,000 to free the man,” he said, adding that she lodged a report after she discovered she was conned when the doctor did not show up at her house.

Scrambled Eggs

I think this is strange.


Wonder how it was when they were dating. Well, I am taking it for granted that this is not an arranged marriage but then what do I know!


Regarding the demand about the money used for their wedding, I honestly think she has a solid ground there provided it was a contract - verbal or written and of course a written contract would be easier to prove. SO moral of the story for the love struck boys and girls planning to tie the knot,do consider having the PRE NUPTIAL contract seriously. It can easily be included in the taqlik.


Anyway read this [taken from here]:- 

Harian Metro frontpaged a report about a man known as Razman who was allegedly suffering from his “gangster” wife’s outbursts.

Razman alleged how his wife, whom he married out of love, has woken him up by kicking him and demanded for divorce more than 10 times whenever they fought over his delay in replying her calls and SMSes.

He claimed his wife, who had also damaged his office personal computer during one of her outbursts, also verbally abused him by calling him either a pig, stupid, obnoxious and “to go to hell or die.”

He claimed his mother-in-law had accused him of stealing his wife’s stuff for witchcraft to make her submissive.

He said when they went for marriage counselling, she had vented her anger and scolded the ustaz.

After their child was born, he said his wife continued to sideline him and demanded the money they used for their wedding, which she regarded as debts that he had yet to repay.

One year into their marriage, he is considering divorce.

Mistakes At Job Interviews

The Most Outrageous Mistakes Made at Job Interviews


On Thursday 13 January 2011, 5:04 SGT
 
The job market may be showing signs of life but competition remains fierce, so if you're headed to an interview, don't blow it.

"The goal of any interview is to stand out from the other candidates and ultimately land the job, but make sure you stand out for the right reasons!" said Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources for CareerBuilder.
CareerBuilder recently polled a couple thousand hiring managers and found out that one of the most common mistakes candidates made at job interviews was answering a cell-phone call or text during an interview. Seven out of 10 hiring managers said they'd had a candidate do that during an interview.
They also cited dressing inappropriately, appearing disinterested, appearing arrogant and chewing gum among the most common mistakes.
That list alone should have you outraged on behalf of American job seekers everywhere, but it gets worse! Here are some of the most outrageous things hiring managers said they've seen candidates do during a job interview:

1- Provide a detailed listing of how previous employer made them mad.
2- Hug the hiring manager at the end of the interview.
3- Eat all the candy from the candy bowl while trying to answer questions.
4- Bad-mouth spouse throughout the interview.
5- Blow her nose and line up used tissues on the table in front of her.
6- Bring a copy of a college diploma, with white out over the name and candidates name written on top.
7- Wear a hat that said "take this job and shove it."
8- Talk about how an affair cost him a previous job.
9- Throw his beer can in the outside trashcan before coming into the reception office.
10- Have a friend come in and ask "HOW MUCH LONGER?"

OK, so we're going to skip the usual jargon of job tips and get back to the basics:

1- Listen to your mother and spit out that gum before the interview. Blow your nose before you get there.   And while we're at it, make sure you go to the bathroom before you leave the house.

2-Turn that phone off before I turn it off for you.

3-No badmouthing of anyone. No candy eating. No cute T-shirts or hats. Actually, no T-shirts or hats of any kind. No white out. No friends allowed to come with you.

And for the love of jobs, no hugging!

Love scam - another angle

Couple remarries but wife takes a second African lover

OTHER NEWS & VIEWS

A COUPLE once divorced because the wife had an affair with an African man. However, they later reconciled and re-married.

But to the husband’s dismay, his wife had not learnt her lesson for she had taken another African lover, he told Harian Metro.

The husband, who gave his name as Johan, said he found out about his wife’s first affair just a few days before Hari Raya last year.

“Initially, I did not suspect anything. But I began to see she was keeping her distance from me and our five children,” he said.

Johan claimed she was always sendingSMSes to someone and, often, she would be in a remorseful mood.

When he confronted her, she did not deny her romantic link with an African student of a private college in Nilai. Their marriage crashed.

However, after the student returned to his country, the woman asked for a second chance and the couple, both in their 40s, got married again last June.

But barely three months after re-married, the woman allegedly took another African lover, a businessman and a friend of the first Awang Hitam (a term used by the Malay media for African Casanovas).

Johan said his wife’s infatuation with African men drove her to pawn her jewellery to support them.

He has made three police reports against his wife’s second African lover.

> In another report, Harian Metro said five youngsters – aged 15 to 18 – had a night of orgy at a hotel in Keningau and were caught high on drugs by anti-vice enforcers on Friday night.

Among the group caught in the 11am raid was a 15-year-old girl.

Police seized an undisclosed amount of powdered substance, believed to be syabu. Two youths tested positive for drugs.

Keningau district police chief Deputy Supt Zahari Mahamad said all the boys were school-leavers while the girl had just finished her PMR examination.

Internet Love Scam - Again

Just for the record.

This is a compiled news I found on Star.

A Nigerian student, impersonating as an American widower, promised to marry a 45-year-old Filipina after several online encounters.

Making false promises that raised her hopes, he persuaded her to come to Malaysia last December.

The woman’s dream, however, was shattered when she arrived in the country and was taken to a house in Petaling Jaya, where she was locked up for several days.

Early this week, the Shah Alam High Court sentenced Oparaugo Uchenna Samuel, 27, to three years’ jail for confining the woman against her will.

Kosmo!, which dubbed the private college student as a “Nigerian Casanova”, said his local girlfriend, Nurul Atika Baharuddin, 21, was jailed three years for not reporting the matter to the authorities despite knowing about it.

Another local friend of the Nigerian, Khairun Azhan Mohammed Aziddin, 25, was sentenced to six months in prison for also not reporting about Samuel’s treatment of the woman.

More Scams

The news copied here is self explanatory. I pray none of the people I love ever succumb to these unscrupulous men out to clean one's purse. 

200 cheated of RM10mil by Africans claiming to be college boys

By ANDREW SAGAYAM
saggy@thestar.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR: At least 200 people in the city have been conned of nearly RM10mil since early last year by Africans who entered the country on student visas, but never once stepped into a classroom.

Although these so-called “students” are enrolled in top colleges under fake scholarships, they are more often spotted cruising in flashy cars and frequenting nightspots.

These Africans are believed to be conmen who plied their shady trade overseas before dumping their ill-gotten gains in local banks and “settling down” here.

However, once here, they continue their activities by duping Malaysians of their life savings, using bank accounts of locals to cheat their victims, who are mostly single successful women, either divorced or widowed.

Among the most common scams are tricking Malaysians into paying for non-existent gifts, buying coloured water as “vaccines” to keep cattle healthy and disease-free, and “black money” cases.

City Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Asst Comm Izany Abdul Ghany, who revealed this, said it was alarming that despite numerous warnings, Malay sians continued to fall into the conmen’s trap.

He said scams operated by Africans topped the list of commercial crime cases in the city, reeling in the largest amount of ill-gotten money.

the list of commercial crime cases in the city, reeling in the largest amount of ill-gotten money.

“The numbers are rising. Between January last year and June, locals in the city alone were cheated of nearly RM10mil, and the figure could be higher because some victims are still unaware that they are being conned.

“The scams are committed throughout the country but the exchange of money usually takes place in the city,” ACP Izany said, adding that over 100 women and 80 men were conned since early last year.

ACP Izany said checks showed that these Africans had committed similar scams in other countries before coming to Malaysia.

“After these syndicates are busted, they enter Malaysia by using fake scholarships apparently given by their country of origin,” he said.

He added that many of the women conned would freely give up their money after being swept off their feet by Africans who lured them with sweet talk and promises.

“The conmen target single women in their 30s and 40s. The victims include doctors and university lecturers,” he said, urging higher learning institutions and relevant agencies to scrutinise carefully the applications of foreign students.

Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department’s Cyber and Multimedia Investigation Division assistant director ACP Mohd Kamarudin Md Din said in some cases, the victims had met the conmen through social networking websites. They would usually post pictures of other people, sometimes of famous models, just to get closer to the victims.

Higher Education Minister Datuk Seri Khaled Nordin said there was a “small number” of foreign students involved in crime here, most of whom had entered the country illegally.

He urged the police to provide the ministry with relevant information so that appropriate action could be taken.
