"Prank call"

After all the fuss, I did not receive any calls today. I still hope that its a 'crank/prank call' and nothing wrong with the girl concerned. Its not nice to use someone to get $$$. Recently also read in the newspaper that the police caught a couple making these call and they managed to get about RM1million. That was sure a 'get rich' fast method. Hopefully no one use it. Lets also hope that this is the couple that makes the call to me!

Prank Call or Real Call?

This morning I received a call from a girl who is in distress crying for help. She keeps on calling me "ma ma please help me! This boss is keeping me in a dark room and I'm bleeding. mama please help me!" What do you all think. I tried to calm her down and ask for her location (In my mind was thinking who is this girl??) She keeps on crying and ask me to help. Finally I ask to speak to the boss. It was then pass to the 'boss' who spoke quite fiercely and telling me to pay him RM100,000 if I want my 'daughter' back and pay within 1/2 hours time. Where the hell to get that amount of money I ask. He said if I dont pay within the stipulated time, he is going to kill her. I was in doubt as I dont know what to do. I told him that I've got only RM400.00 in the bank & if he wants, I can give him but he told me that he need to leave the country so need more money. We talk/ negotiate for about 10 minutes and I thought which kidnapper would talk to you for 10 minutes. I sought the advice of my HR manager and we decided to lodge a police report. I sincerely hope this is not a real case and if its a real case, hope nothing wrong with the girl. Lets pray its a prank call and no one get hurt.
