Look! Malaysian – Beware of China People in Malaysia. Ah, damn… sad story, this is another morale of the story. Read it on. Today, after finished lunch with my fellow colleague, I am heading to take ERL to Kuala Lumpur International Airport. I’m about… let me count, I think is 10 foot step, will reach the counter and buy the ERL ticket. Suddently, there is one girl(UNKNOWN) stop me, the language slang from her mouth — Ya, China Girl.
Story goes here, she told me that she is short of cash and need money to fly back to Shang Hai, China. She shown me her passport, china identification card, company name card, fligh tickets to Hong Kong. The story is damn perfect, she told me money is finish using and her credit card already reach the limit. Beside that, she needs some cash from Hong Kong go to Shang Hai, and continue bla bla bla. Finally, the point is here, she wants to borrow RM150 from and she said will TT the money to me when she reach Shang Hai. She get my phone no, name card and everthing which she needs.
At first, of course I don’t believe. Then … “Da Ta!” Her mum show up, a very old woman, which is grandma type. Come to me and said “Young man, we need your help, we are really out of cash and hope you can give us a hand and allow us safely go back our homeland. haih, I am such a good person, the grandma explain til so…… ….. ….. then i take out RM150 and borrow them. Grandma said, once they arrive Shang Hai will give me a call. Let me know they arrive there safely and TT the money to me.
Ok, money on their hand, I am rushing to the ERL. While I am in the ERL, I took out the name card and find out what’s her email address, was thinking to send an email to her and remind her to return RM150 to me. OH MY GOD! FUCK, what the hell. Her email address zhangli@asia.com! Wow, ASIA.com can you believe she works with ASIA.com? I start to suspect is the domain available, since ASIA.com is not a _HOT_ domain everybody want. I made called to my colleague, ask them check is ASIA.com a recycling company(Her name card wrote that is a recycling company). Hahaha.. what is ASIA.COM? Check out your own, next I ask them to host the domain name see wether got MX mail server running or not. Yea, got, telnet to ASIA.COM port 110. Trying send an email to zhangli@asia.com — USER UNKNOWN. Oh…. now I know…. Paul Ooi got cons by one China Mama and China Daugther!
The morale of the story,
– Act you do not know Mandarin when you see China people
– Do not simply give money to people, no matter with old grandma or what
– Ask China people go China Embassy if they need help!
Suck, RM150 gone! Am now in KLIA terminal, AirAsia delay the flight again. This is the 6th times I took AirAsia, 4 out of 6 times I experience with the delayed flight. What to do.. so cheap.. Wait lo.
Safely arrive home, good landing.
Paul, I don’t know what to say and I got no eye see!
LoL..
Poor Paul….. u r too “kind hearted”…oh god

rm150 for me is a big amount lar….

RM150 gone nvm
but my 良心 still here
You are very good man..hehehe next time wanna kuan you liao 😛 joking. Now a day ppl like to use this kind of sympathy to bluff ppl.. very hard to avoid.
Paul, RM150 buy a lesson not so expensive. and imagine if you didn’t believe her, and didn’t give her that RM150, you now might keep thinking what happen to them, are they OK? are they safe, did they manage to get home?
Kena conned RM150 might make you look like loser who can tell the trick, but it also show that you still have your conscience when come to the situation like this.
I’ll look at the good in you on this case, don’t feel bad about it. we can always find money, but conscience? hard to come by.
Poor poor guy… oops… I should mean rich rich guy.. Lucky I don’t carry that big amt of cash. At least if they wanna corn me oso susah a bit.. Pluss, I can’t understand Mandrin! So, cannot kena corn. But anyway, don’t feel so bad. I lost RM200 before just like that after press ATM! Whoosh!.. Gone…

I have the same experience today, 21 April 2007, not in Malaysis, in THAILAND DEPARTURE HALL. Almost got con. Mama talk to me first, say, she lost her daughter credit card, ask me to lend her US100. After that same daughter walk to me, Zhangli, show me her passport, name card (enviromental company) and I spotted the Zhangli@asia.com and become suspicious. How can a China company have an email @asia.com. China email is xxx@xxx.com.cn. I told them I got con once at Thailand, they told me if I cannot help is ok, bla bla bla. I bring them to the internet cafe and I key in the www. asia.com, it is a hotel and flight website. So I told them sorry and they walk away, missing after that.
Beware, they move from place to place, country to country.
I got conned by a man last year claimed to be a Singaporean who lost his wallet in Thailand and needed money to go back to Singapore. I lost $100.
Neo! Yes! Now I remember, the name card is ZhangLi! Walao ei, now they moved to Thailand to cari makan.. Great!
Paul, thanks for posting the story of the China mama and China Daughter. They dress so well!! I feel bad initially not to lend them the money. Now, no more bad feeling as your story confirmed they are cons. Thanks again.
