The world is becoming an unsafe place :(
Last week, something happened at our home.
When i got home last Tuesday, my mum told me that someone would be coming to fix our house phone. Just when i was wondering how on earth my mum knew how to lodge a report, our house phone rang. The lady spoke in Mandarin and asked for my mum. I politely asked her who she is (that's my routine question because my mum always asks me before she comes answering the phone), she said she spoke to my mum earlier about sending people over. She said my phone could've been suspended for non-payment. Then i told her, if my phone had been suspended, how on earth she could call in. She mumbled and hung up.
Immediately, i became suspicious. I asked mum how did she found this lady. My mum told me that the lady called our home herself. Oh, now it was even scarier. Never in my life had TM ever called without me calling them first. I told mum not to open the door if anyone ever shows up to fix the phone.
The next day, my mum called me when i was at work. She said a friend of mine just called our house phone and said he would like to invite Jane and I to his wedding. He told mum that he had lived overseas for years and lost touch with us and asked for my mobile phone number. My mum gave it to him. Again, i was skeptical. I told my mum I have never given our house phone number to anyone and i don't have a friend called Ah Hong. I reminded my mum to not answer the house phones anymore. I think someone must be trying to play a trick on us.
Half an hour later, I received calls from my brothers, asking me where i was. Feeling strange, i told them in office, where else? They asked me to call my mum immediately. So i called, not knowing what happened although everyone sounded worried. It turned out that, someone called my mum's mobile phone, and strangely, it showed my mobile phone number although i had never made the call! A man threatened that he had me in his hand for I'd borrowed money from him and didn't pay up. My mum said there was a lady crying in the background.
OMG, i've read this story online! And the real thing actually happened to us! I told my mum to switch off her phone immediately. My dad insisted to drive behind my car after work. He said, just in case it wasn't a crank call.
For the next two days, he continued to send me to office. My dad, he doesn't speak of love for his children but his actions say it all. It was peace and quiet for the next two days until... my mum's hand phone rang again on Friday evening.
A man asked if the daughter had reached home. My mum thought it was a friend of mine and replied "not yet". The man then said "she will never be able to return home anymore. She has upset my people and we are sending people to pour acid at her!!".
Heard that a lot of people have received crank calls recently. We could ignore them but the scary thing is, how did these people get hold of our confidential info?!
Anyway, we all should be more cautious. Too many wants, desires but too little heart to learn to the proper ways to earn them. Always be suspicious of strange calls or messages... Oh wait, I'm a Scorpio and born to be suspicious hahahaha...(^~^)Y a kind-hearted Scorpio that is~~
