Got a phone call last Monday from an unknown number.
The lady from the other end of the phone spoke to me with that easily identifiable mainland Chinese accent. Ching chong lady told me from she's from a Hong Kong company, calling me to conduct a marketing survey in Malaysia.
That's sounded alright, so I obliged and I was asked some pretty standard questions like how old I am, my monthly income and stuff like that. The phone call lasted for about 20 minutes. As a token of appreciation. ching chong lady gave me a lucky draw number for a publicity event they will be holding in Genting.
Since I couldn't possibly be attending the event all the way in Genting, I didn't bother writing that number down and just forget about it.
The next evening around 6pm, Ching Chong lady called again. This time she sounded happy and excited, as if China has just won the World Cup. In the background, the crowd noise typical of a big dinner function can be heard.
Ching Chong Lady: Mr Kenny Sia! Are you Mr Kenny Sia!? Listen, are you in Genting right now?!
Kenny: No, I thought I mentioned yesterday that I couldn't attend the event because I am in Sarawak?
Ching Chong Lady: Ohhh! No wonder our emcee called your name so many times and you didn't come up on stage!
Kenny: What is going on?
Ching Chong Lady: Mr Kenny Sia, you just won the second prize of our lucky draw! Congratulations!
Kenny: Oh, cool. *thinking it was probably like a toaster or a fan or something*
Ching Chong Lady: YOU JUST WON YOURSELF $240,000 HK DOLLARS!!!
Kenny: Whoa?!
Honestly, at that point in time I could not believe my luck. I had believed Miss Ching Chonglady completely.
HKD$240,000 is about RM120,000. That is a lot of money.
Ching Chonglady congratulated me further. Before we ended our conversation, she advised me to stay safe and invited me to visit their company when they set up a branch in Malaysia. I agreed. She was so nice and courteous that I didn't even suspect a single thing.
That night, I went to bed feeling elated. I even dreamt about how to spend my prize money.
Very early next morning, she called again to arrange for the collection of my HKD$240,000 prize. That is when I first thought something fishy was going on.
Everyone knows that in Malaysia, it takes FOREVER for prizes to reach the winner's hand.
I should know. I took part in Deal or No Deal Malaysia almost three months ago and until now I STILL haven't even received my meagre prize money!
And these people who called me are handling the prize collection too efficiently. Of course it looked firshy!
The name of the company was a jewellery company called Hong Kong DiFenNi, and the lady who contacted me is Chen Ke.
I was asked how I would like to collect my prize money, so I suggested she deposit the cash into my bank account. She gave me an option to pick up the money in Hong Kong, but I declined saying it was too inconvenient.
Anyway, I gave Chen Ke my real bank account and IC number, placing my full trust in Maybank to protect the whole 20 ringgit I have in my savings account.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Detective Kenny Sia rushed to the computer and decided to do some investigative work.
First thing I did was call up Genting Resorts to check if any foreign company called "Hong Kong DiFenNi" had rented out their ballrooms for an event last night. The nice lady at Genting gave me two company names that had booked their facilities yesterday, and both of them are local.
FISHY.
Fine. Give them benefit of the doubt. Maybe they used a local company to rent out a ballroom on their behalf.
Next, I logged on to the Internet to check out the website address they had given me - www.difenni.com.cn
The URL redirected me to another website at www.weidajp.com
At first glance, their website looked awfully professional. They have a news section and a products section typical of any good company website. The phone number they gave me (+852 6554 6865) matches the one on the website. And eventhough the jewellery they displayed on their website looks butt ugly, I must admit that on the whole their website looked very convincing.
Then I looked up the WHOIS registry of these two websites.
Website is registered on the 20th June 2007. That's only one month old!
How bloody likely was it for an established international export company to not even have a website until one freaking month ago?
FISHY. So fishy, it's fishier than a fish market.
Fine. Once again, I give them benefit of the doubt. Finally, I fired up Google and typed in the some search words.
Apparently, this scam has been going around for a while and a number of people in Malaysia and Singapore had fallen for it. The scammers will convince you that you have won a lucky draw, but in order to take the money out you'd have to pay a certain amount of insurance deposit. The scammers will then run away with the 'deposit' and you will never see a single cent of your winnings ever.
I called up DAP Sarawak's chairman Richard Wong at his office because his name was mentioned in the Borneo Post report and I told him about my predicament. Talking him further convinced me that this was a tried and true scam that has been going around for a while. The name of the company was different, but the method of execution was the same.
Since I hadn't been asked to send them any money yet, I decided to have a little fun with them.
The next time I received a phone call from the scammers, I was talking to a ching chong man instead. His name is Yang Jun.
Whaddya know? Just as expected, I was told that in order to receive my prize money, I need to send them some money as insurance deposit first.
They said there was a law erected to prevent people taking money above HKD$150,000 out of the country. They claimed its for fear of black market or terrorism financing.
To me, that's just a whole lotta bull.
If they wanna force me to buy some insurance deposit, they can just deduct some off my prize money.
But fine. I told them if its illegal to transfer so much money overseas, just send me the limit of HKD$150,000.
"Sorry, the cheque has already been written and we can't write a new one."
Fine! So I told them I will fly to HK to pick up the money in person. To my surprise, they said they would welcome me with open arms. They even invited me to their "jewellery showroom".
Immediately I regretted suggesting that. Because if I showed up, those people could very well abduct me.
Maybe even sell me off for gay prostitution or something.
My patience was wearing thin After thirty minutes of international phone call, FINALLY I said to them I "agreed" to pay RM3,000 insurance deposit.
You could almost hear the jubilent cheer in his voice.
Jubilent cheer... anyone still thinks AC Milan's Brazilian striker Kaka is cute?
I was asked to contact a Chen ZhenRong who, according to ching chong man, is their "most esteemed accountant who took time out of his very busy schedule to handle your transaction, out of the goodness of his heart."
It's funny how these people make themselves sounded like some patron saint of Jesus Christ, when in fact they are more crooked than Barbra Streisand's nose.
Of course, I couldn't give two hoots about who this Chen ZhenRong is. Everytime he called, I purposely fooled around with Mr Gold-Hearted Saint Jesus Accountant Who Took Time Out Of His Very Busy Schedule, dilly-dallying, time-wasting, and just giving them endless supply of lame excuses and empty promises.
They were persistent. Annoyed, angry, impatient, but still very persistent.
I am touched. Never have a stranger been so desperate to give me RM120,000 before.
What I am REALLY impressed with is that these people are so convincing and so organised. There were virtually no holes in their web of lies.
I was even given a number of a Hong Kong bank to contact. When I called, the automated voice prompt confirmed that HKD$240,000 is sitting there waiting in my bank account. All they need is my RM3,000 insurance deposit.
You can try it yourself. The phone number was +852 6635 7011. My bank account number is 2110 1600 0787 80 and my PIN number is 821127.
Of course, I gave them a fake bank account number. They believed me.
I told them to deposit my prize money into my special company bank account that could handle quicker international transaction. They believed me.
I also told them that my company name was Kanina Chee Bye. And they believed me!
The best thing about all of these? I have recorded every single bit of telephone conversations they had with me. And they didn't even know about it.
Click on it to listen!
Don't worry if you can't understand Chinese. There are English subtitles.
Anyway, I was told to put the RM3,000 insurance deposit into their Hong Leong bank account 023-51-06038-8, under the name Eu Sok Eng.
But after playing with them for so long, I decided I have had enough fun. Yesterday, I visited our local Hong Leong Branch and banked in the money for our friendly HK scammer.
When Mr Gold-Hearted Saint Jesus Accountant Who Took Time Out Of His Very Busy Schedule called again, he was clearly furious at my non-cooperation.
Mr Saint Jesus Accountant: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!
Kenny: Listen, I...
Mr Saint Jesus Accountant: WHERE IS THE INSURANCE DEPOSIT!? YOU SAID YOU WILL BANK IN FOR US BUT YOU NEVER DID!
Kenny: No wait, I already...
Mr Saint Jesus Accountant: DO YOU THINK WE HAVE A LOT OF TIME FOR YOUR GAMES!? ARE YOU TREATING US LIKE A JOKE!??!
Kenny: Listen, I banked in the money to your account already. I swear to you I did.
Mr Saint Jesus Accountant: BY CHEQUE OR BY CASH!!?
Kenny: Cash! Just like you instructed.
Mr Saint Jesus Accountant: WHAT TIME!?
Kenny: 14 o'clock and 5 minute.
Mr Saint Jesus Accountant: WHICH SECOND!?
Kenny: 3 second. The receipt number is 00748.
Mr Saint Jesus Accountant: Ok. You let me check. I will call you back later.
I wasn't lying, you know? I did send him the money. But the accountant never me called back. And I don't think he ever will.
Because as a slap in the face, I sent him a grand total of...
ONE RINGGIT.
FIRST! good on ya kenny

hahah nice one kenny!
LOL! I also got a call from them last month & just recently I received a call again with a different version. This time they are not selling jewellery but handphones =.=" The same conversation & the same lady.....(with a different name from LiLi ---> YaPing).
Hi Kenny,
Been here for quite a while 'cause I love your entertaining posts! Never thought I'd actually post something here.. But this is really good! Who'd have thought of using such an ingenious way to get back at those freaking scammers? (:
hahahahahhahahahh !!!! you made me rolled on the floor !!!
BRAVO!! BRAVO!!
Hey Kenny,
Good that you published this scam. I also got a call from them 2 weeks ago but I told them off immediately.
One thing struck my mind after receiving the call was how the hell they know my number? Has my telco sold my number to them? They must have local culprits. Since they have opened a bank account with Hong Leong, you should alert the bank and ask them to get the police involved before more victims fall into their trap.
Old trick copies from Nigerian 419 scam lah.

Kenny, I received a very similar call last month (with exactly the same modus operandi and phone conversation like yours) and have an entry on it.
I managed to get some info on the company that tried to scam me and have sort of reported indirectly to the authority. However, I would like to confirm something with you on the scam, so please e-mail/msn me about this.
Thanks

I don't get it, why didn't you call the police and report this Eu Sok Eng?
Hey...
I received at least 3 calls from those buggers this week and due to my "poor" mandarin, I told them that I didn't understand a word they were saying and hung up on them...Hahaha...
I received one such phone call too last month. I let that Ching Chong man talk and talk and talk until I finished my breakfast... he was still yakking. He still wouldn't give up (like your case) even though the smell of my caffeine traveled through the phone line. It is only when I told him to call another day that he hung up. I've no idea if he ever called again as that call was on the company's mobile which I was assigned to keep that week.
hahahahhahaha....nice prank :D
LOL. HK Difenni ? swt must be a HK Da Fei Nu called instead..haha
i called that number, well it does sound weird. Telephone banking service with a weird automated voice system =.="
I received those calls a few times too.. Usually I just end the call or just pretend i can't speak chinese... =p
I bet this Eu Sok Eng guy will be expecting Police at his house anytime
haha
haha..
LMAO...
haha.. kanina chee bye.... (good one!)
wow wow wow... WOW!! ahahahahha.. WAKAKAKKAKA!! omg. it seriously went to that state ar?!! where the scammers hv to raise their voice orh!!
ahahhaahha.. nice one.
good one kenny!...but honestly U DAMN FREE lor...
haha kenny , this is the one of your best entry this year =D funny
Wow amazing .. I am workin in KL , actually I have seen the real guy in KLcc area .the old technique these ppl ( yes so far I met 3 of them ) 2 in KLcc area and one near Jln ampang (in a Bank ) used was they act like they had lost wallet and ask for some money .these suckers are well dressed and fat ( I wonder how many thousands of ppl been cheated before ) .there was a fair chinese teenager ( again fat ) which i met in klcc lrt station telling he lost wallet and need bus ticket to go back melaka. Bugger he obviously talk with a china slang and expected me to believe he is from Melaka ??and some more pudu and Klcc is quite far away isnt it..so guys and gals ..stay alert ..they have innocent face and looks well to do livin off mone from victims i supposed in KL !!!!
i'd receive such a call as well few days ago, is really frustrated!!! i just hang up without answering. :)
I've been reading your blog for almost 2 years and I must say, this is the first post that really made me want me to comment that badly.
SO hope you get scammed more :p and then be too smart for it.
so to churn out more bloggables hahaha
Good one lar.....but i guess that's more that you could do....play the real real shit out of him mah since you got him on the hook. So that just end like that? Not reported to the police?
LMAO!!! mind to give us those guys number? maybe we can have some fun too.
You noe wat?
i like your company name
"" Kanina Chee Bye "" ,
and they believed its true ..
ohh gosh~!
good one Kenny, good one.
oh yeah
Since they have an account with a local bank, shouldn't you have alerted the bank so they can nab the local connection?
hahahahah damn funny. good job kenny...was about to post saying ur stuff is getting bland again b4 u came up with this.
good job kenny!!
WOW you actually took time to pwn him back! How much time and money did you spend in total (especially on international calls)?
I also received phone calls like this, ask me to attend some grand function cos i won like $500 voucher?I also recorded the conversation..
wow!!!
Why don't you try to cooperate with the police and catch them while playing with them a little so that there there won't be anymore people becoming their victim? It was funny tho but I still think that if you are able to trick them to the police will be much cooler.
LOL lar. Stupid guy.
ei...kenny he still earn your 1 ringgit malaysia wat...but one thing nice is even you pay him 1 ringgit he still not enough for him to pay his phone bill...nice work ..kenny ..hahahaa...
i showed my dad the conversation!
awesome one!
This should be posted up in the news or summarized in the newspapers.
Although common, there are numerous people who fall for it. Stupidity or not, there are a lot of gullible people in this world and I am sick of the police saying that people should not fall for this trick and instead do something about it like explaining their modus operandi like Kenny did.
the case is almost like urs.. they claimed that u need to pay the insurance payment.. n ask u to call the bank whether there's an account with the money in it waiting for u to claim...
omg! their tricks almost similar..
but the best thing to listen is when this guy told them that he knew everything was a scam n ask till they were not able to give any explanation but to keep quiet on the another side of the phone..
Malaysian be careful! chin people thinks we very easy to get fool by all these scam!
LOL THIS WAS FUNNY.
That was a good one! Serve that Mr. Accountant right!!! Hahaha.. if only we can see the look on his face when he received RM 1......... LOL.. 33 cents HK? lol
eh can the police track them and catch them all?
i did receive those call too about 4 months ago...the same thing they tell me n invite me to the event held in KL..they call me 2nd time said i won n faster come to get the prize....in the end the line cut off cos im in overseas...
now that i listened to the phone conversation, i really cant stand that accountant who shouted like he is so damn right... should have even him rm0.01 instead la...
wow.. u bother to entertain them..for days on end..all i do is to take the opportunity and curse them on the phone n slam the phone, destressed.
They need to be caught.
But lucky you're pretty sharp.
The next time that happens I hope someone could cooperate with the cyber police that has been established in various of countries.
-_-" i thought this con/scam through chinamen/women is alrd been around for quite sometimes.. hrmmm...but how can you -.-" hahaha.. anyway, it's good to share all this news to everybody here :D
haha, u go the website n see their email address, abcd@weidajp.com
god, you so rock.
LOL! good! but then 1 RM too ex. give them 0.05 RM.
I really hate those China people that does all these thgs! Good on ya Kenny!

That's farking funny man.
I called a call from ms ching chong too but i told her couldn't speak chinese and she hung up.
You have to give it to them though, such intricate planning. It's no wonder people do actually get scammed.
LOL funny shite. i got that too...i almost believed them and almost told them my details but i realised it before i did.
i played around with them for some time before i cursed the hell out of them and they were like "eh i trying to give u money why u scolding me?" haha after that no more calls from them!!
haha.. I really enjoyed your CSI game. Can't believe that you actually fool with them till the end. thanx for sharing it with us
way to go kenny!!! very smart move!! yet you're still calm and collected...geez you're quick to act :)
Same here. Got the call from ms ching chong too. Told I don't speak mandarin, n she hung up -.-'

what if it was true and tat u threw away rm120,00 away?
KNN CCB, so this is the number that is unknown that called me during seminar and got my ass whoop even i didnt answer it...was wondering who called me...
Kenny, I received a similar call on Monday, I just cut her short and said - "no time".
The key point I wish to raise with you is, since the scam involves a Malaysian bank account and probably a Malaysian Mr Eu Sok Eng, you should lodge a police report. (you should video your police report experience.. i can imagine that turning out to be a an interesting source for you next great post).
:-)
hahaha bodohnye those dumb scammers...nice on la kenny!
Haha.. This is your best thriller.
Thanks for sharing Kenny, you are doing a good job to educate people about these scams. Ive been a victim of one such scam and lost 3000 in the process, but it was not via telephone, but in person. If only I wasnt as gullible back then.. :(
ha ha ... got the same call but was a lady same damn company mtherfkrs ... but ur simply the best lor ... you pawned the pawner ........

anyway, those ching chong people really deserve to be slapped. they are like wasting money calling. lol. kenny you rock!
You should have called them up and said that THEY won a prize of HK500,000 :P
Will be funny if scammers met a scam.
Well done.. kakaka
Dude...have you reported this to the authority especially the bank account number and holder?
why did u even bother to give him the RM$1
I tried not to be prejudiced but I can't help distrusting and disliking those mainland people. China. Fuh!
hahaha! now da joke is on theirs! good one kenny! luv u ar... hahah..
wahahahahahaha.
but why you bother giving them RM1.
only RM1 but still. lol.
what a waste of time. xD
WOW. I knew I didn't make the wrong choice by lub-ing you deep deep.
I am all for you to bring this to the police. I don't think you've kicked their asses enough (though this whole entry was amazing still).
well, i do hope there's a reply from the china guy again
Mr Kenny Sia, I hereby say that you OFFICIALLY ROCK!!

Eventually I realised it was a scam I became defensive giving a whole lot of excuses after.. thinking back when the lady asked whether I was at genting, I should've said I WAS there, just to see how they'd react haha.. ;P

well done Kenny Sia, Fool around them as easy as a piece of cake..hahaha :D
walaueh! really hillarious. Company name KCB...kakakaka..it's worth the RM1. I wonder what will the sucker think when they discover the meaning of KCB
Wah!
Quite an unexpected situation but it's a good thing that I don't understand mandarin nor cantonese. =)
Hence, I'll usually end the calls when someone speaks mandarin. lol~
haha! good one! should give them a test of their own medicine!
damn you rock!=D
K-A-N-I-N-A C-H-E-E B-Y-E
ROFLMAO
Funniest post, ever.
Hii..its my first time comment in ur blog...ur blog always seems so funny and interesting..
I also got received such similar call before..but the china gal said is from Taiwan..and need Rm5000 insurance deposit to safety transfer USD100,000 amount claim that I won..hahaha..so funny..I directly told her that I very familiar with banking & finance matter ...and no such things as insurance to telegrahic transfer to malaysia..well done..Kenny..but u waste ur RM1 'donate' to them like that lol...better u give beggar roadside than give such person like them......748 with them....
Thank goodness you had your wits intact!
My friend and I had a listen to the phone conversation, and the guy Yang Jun didn't sound to Mainland Chinese to us!
Wah! Your voice so sexy! Can I marry you? Haha~ Jk jk
You're so funny!
LOL! that's so funny!!!
Smart kenny. xD
Just take a second look and notice something.
The Hong Leong Acc : Eu Sok Eng.
sounds like you so "eng"(free).. XD
Take them to the police Kenny
Lol thats a nice one
LOL. They got tricked. You have a very solid evidence to put them to court. Tell our PDRM to trace their call location. :)
send the hong leong account to the police or report to the govt official that u spoke to earlier then they can investigate.
WoW!!!
Nice one!
i like this “将计就计†method...
good job :D
Oh ...Kenny Baby!! Good job!!!! STUPID ppl, using this kind of scam, my sister got one, similar to this.!!!! SMACK THEM kenny. Should have call the police, and the Celcom, or hotlink, or digi ,..which ever line ur using. Coorperate with them, & get them ended up in jail.
Wow, Kenny... it is shocking how professional the scam ring is. I'm glad you shared this account to create awareness, as well as give us a great time seeing you kick them in their balls!
Fantastic!!!! You earn my biggest respect!
This is better than watching a movie! Oh yeah, this is the feel-good kick-ass kinda movies I love!!!!
I hope everyone will read this and be cautioned.

kenny! you're the man!!!
u'r not jz losing rm 1..also ur international call...that's alot .....u must have a lot of free time
i have the same case happening to my friend here, but the difference is that they said that lucky draw prize that need to send out to other country can not be more than certain amount, if its then u need to pay 20% of the prize money. blah blah blah we din trust her instead we are chatting all day long ( sweet girl voice :D )
wow..u r so 'man' lar..can even speak chinese..
did u make any police report?
HAHAHAHA! Good one Kenny! *salute*
OMG KENNY YOU ROCKK!! SO MAN =)
bwak!
Helo Kenny!
I got a similar call as well some time ago. It was a ching chong lady. Haha. She told me she was some Hong Kong company thus I requested her to speak in Cantonese instead because I am bad with ching chong mandarin. But she refused and said it's company requirement. I felt a little weird.
She told me wanted to do some survey. That's okay; I agreed because I know they usually would be turned down.
Firstly she asked my name. That is really weird because for a survey, I don't think they need a name. But then, I thought maybe they want to address me with that name so fine. It took us about 10 mins just to figure out my Chinese name!
I can't remember much we talked about but when she asked about my credit card, I said I don't have. She laughed and said, why wouldn't I have one. Then I just bluntly told her the reason is because I am still a student. When asked of my age, I lied that I am just 14.
Then, she just briefly apologized and cut the line. LOL.
hey!!your voice sounds really nice when you speak mandarin..
you sound esp cute when you said.. " bu yao shen qi har.." anyways,did you try to make your mandarin more "biao zhun" since you know you are recording it?or you memang sound like that 1..
so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
it's like everybody got calls like this. 3 of us in the office and 3 of us received calls like this on our mobile phone.
My 2 other colleagues sorta entertained them a bit... but after they keep asking for full name .. my colleagues started to feel irritated. Why need so much of details if it's just a survey?
For my case... simple.. cuz' the lady spoke in Mandarin... and I dunno Mandarin. The first thing the caller asked 'ni hui jiang hwa yue ma'? (can you speak mandarin?).. I said no... and fui! .. bukan main cepat the fellar hung up.
My colleagues said they should have just said they dunno mandarin.. senang....
but Kenny... how much you've spent on the international calls ah?
Ayyo.. you tricked me already...
What to eat with RM1...
they dun sound anything like hongkies or china chinese, in fact they sound like taiwanese or even malaysians.
are they malaysian scammers instead?or do they employ locals to pretend to be from other countries so tat it might be harder to track?
oh my god!! kenny. you rocks 10000000000 times!! tip top liao. it was damn funny. screw those cheena ass!! hee. im laughing like mad right now. such a retard. YOU ROCKSSS!!! :D
wow.....smart smart kenny....and the guy over the phone is juz too fierce dont u think so....
absolutely have to comment 'ere.
sik tau why o chin chong ppl like to con ppl ho. laz year my fam went to china n the tour guide brought us to this jewellery showroom. again, the stuff was BUTT FUGLY. the self-acclaimed 'owner' came and greeted us and balrdy blardy blahh about Kuching stuff (coz we're from Kuching). and god knows where he got those info from. ==!
many tour groups have been conned by likewise 'jewellery showrooms/factories'.
shit. feel like bashing those bastards. >"
btw, GREAT POST! laughed so hard i got stitches! way to go! :D
kenny sia
u just got conned
they clearly wanted the 1 ringgit from u for tose
haih i tot u would be a lil smarter than that
can imagine his expression when he saw the 1 buck
Kenny, this is a serious matter, not to be taken lightly, there are cases of scammers getting so upset that they arrange some local gangster to rough up the scambaiter. You should report to the police on the Hong Leong Bank, account name holder. That account is a direct link to the people that knows the scammers first hand.
Here are useful info on the so famous "Advance Fee Scam"..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_fee_fraud
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scam_baiting
Waliu. One of the blog post of the year!
WTF Kenny?? You just wasted RM1!!!! You realise how many Hacks sweets you can get with that???!
LOL, anyway, the last part of the audio was funny!
Hey dude, this is really cool trick to pull, I do that all of the time to telemarketer and Scientologists.
But still lot of numb nuts fall into the trap...貪å°ä¾¿å®œ. Everyone suggest the law enforcement to throw the scammers in jail is like..telling your mom to punish your bullish big brother who tricked you: " å°å¼Ÿ/妹, é€™å †å¤§ä¾¿å¾ˆé¦™, 很好åƒ, 來試試一下"
I like this, cool man, you really awesome, :D
Whoooo... good job man, good job!! i couldn't stop laughing...
ha ha.. he was fkin yellling at you... dude, seriously if you dont want the money, give it to me man.. lol good job
LOL. Kenny Sia, you rock man! :D Hahahaha
the last few seconds was great man lolz! tht guy been raving all the way down....
smart man.
u went all the way just to check the website info...smart!
Great post kenny, nice way to create awareness among the public and have fun along the way haha... sad is that there are still people who get conned everyday by these bastards... guess we can't help those who are ignorant of their surrounding or just plain greedy. Nice job probably the best post u created haha!
This cannot be a local guy.. He wouldn't have received the "KANINA CHEE BYE" so enthusiastically... LOL. Way to go man..
I'm really amazed people actually got cheated.
These scenarios are pretty common.
I receive, what I believe, to be the same phone call from a mandarin speaking lady, who asked if I spoke mandarin.
They called twice! First time, I pretended not to understand her. Second time, I just said no, and hung up.
Seriously, I don't get how people fall for traps like these.
Clever Kenny, it sure is always good to mess with Hong Kong Underground!

hey! thatsssssss shiok! l0L.
Kenny, i receive their call twice as i have several phone numbers. They are mainly targeting on Digi users as far as i know. As my maxis line belum kena. Their first attempt, i wrote in my blog also. Of course not as interesting as yours. :P I didn't manage to trap them, i directly tell her they are cheaters and they hang up my call.
After several weeks, they called my other digi number. This time i had a big fight with them. The same accountant as u also, Chen Zhen Rong. I scold him, i said, wat a lame accountant, no manners and not educated, dunno how to speak English. End up, he is totally burnt up and hang up my phone.
Haha.. You did a great job. Give them some punishment. Somehow, with your power on blogging, i think that's gonna be a lot of ppl start aware of this. Hope they can stop these scam soon.
love it.
haha pure evil....evil is his nameeee
Muahahahah!! you rock..!
Muahahahah!! you rock..!
a lot of idiots will happily give in to scammers,which is why msia's a hub for all these dodgy activities.i think you're doing us all a favour,reminding us to be extra cautious when dealing with things like this.
kudos.
Maihai, Kenny , your luck really very very good.
anyway, this incident shows that we, kuchingian is very clever, dont simply play play...
That was a great slam!! Really enjoy your attachments on the conversation where he was boiling mad. Way to go! Cheers!!

hey cool thing you did! i think they were really angry when they see your RM1! haha. you should have reported them to the police and let them suffer for what they have done. they must have cheated a lot of people through this method.
such a coincidence the name of the company is DiFenNi... sounds a lot like Tiffany don't you think..=D
Tht's a classic one...
i'm from singapore and i received the call too... when the lady first say she's from HK and want to do a survey with me, i immediatiely told her i'm not interested... coz i don't want to pay for international call for that survey!!!!!!!!! lol... so, it looks like singapore is also their target... haa...
WOHOO! CSI:Kuching! Good job kenny! You''ll be like the grissom or horatio!! LOL.
I got an unknown call aswell early this week. And the lady caller spoke in mandarin to me... I'm not Chinese, so I told her that and she just hung up. A friend of mine also received similar call this week. It seems these ppl are targetting Sarawak's number.
wah...the people actually did sound VERY professional & real...well, except the accountant guy haha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! COOL!!!! Ciken! Kenny, u ROCKZ!!!!!!!
Same as streamyx cheated on slow connection
LoL pwned xD

shld hv deposited only 1 cen for that bugger
i laughed till i nearly choked on my food at the RM 1
hahahaha
i got the call too about 1 month ago and it was from some 'supposedly' multi-international giant electrical company. At first it was kinda believable but when they mentioned the 3k transaction fees i stop picking up the phone. Crazy scams.
The con-game exists in the very early days of civilisation. I had many brushes with con and out-conned the con-artist. All Mr. Sia did was enjoying his grandstanding . remember, only a con can outdo a con. So Mr. Sia is a flim-flam man?
E-mail me at mason2889@yahoo.com as I rarely frequent this blog.
excellent work!!!
Kenny, You rock :)
Only now after reading through others experience I realised I also received "surveying call" to my fixed line some 2 years ago in Bintulu.
During that time I have no time to entertain them because I was late for sending kids to tuition. Too bad no show time for me.
best.prank.ever.
XD

Kenny, I enjoy reading your blog. Keep it up. Want to share some cool songs: http://www.myspace.com/asianembassy
You have the name. You have the account number. You have his voice.
Why wait... just lodge police report and let them suffer for losing RM1
i just love your wit man
that is like so cool !
if this go to the local papers, then it will be big news, kenny sia actually fooled the scammers big time!
you are going to get yourself into trouble kenny.
What's with the name ching chong?
Other then that, glad that you realize it's some stupid lotto trying to suck money out from you.
Hi Kenny,
so what's the result of this? did you report to the police and all? i would like to know if such scam cheaters who's smart [but dumb in a way] will get caught soon. thanks for going through all that. must report to police and post a blog of the aftermath okay!
I've never come across a lucky draw scam like this before but I did have an unpleasant experience with some credit card related issues. Those bastards tried damn hard to con 400 bucks out of me but with the help of my mom, we managed to outwit them. Let it be a lesson to them! Not everyone's as ignorant as they think.
haha after wasting lots of money on their telephone bill, they got rm1 in return. good deal. lolx those scammer, but why i didnt get called?
hahaha... my sis got the same phone call too. the lady asked her to go HK. then only suggested her to bank in RM3000. My sis told me, and i asked her stop dreaming... kekekeke! But i'm so "sum leong" when u bank in RM1 into their bank account. serve them right! even thought of reporting to the police?
OMG! You mean it's not real? I just banked in RM20,000!!! LMAO! J/k...
Received such call a few weeks ago. First thing she asked, "Can you speak Mandarin?"
I hung up without a 2nd thought. Not because I didn't want to talk further, or I didn't want to win the RM100,000+, it's just because I really cannot stand it at that moment, I was on my way to "pang sai". :D
I also kena - twice. The first time, she asked for my full name. I asked her what for? I asked where is she from because I know from her voice, her tone, she is not local. Then talk and talk, I don't want to give my full name, she pissed off and put down on me. What the........
Second time, another lady (I think) and she asked if I can speak Chinese? I just replied "Hello? Hello? No, I don't know Chinese! HELLO?"
:P
I'm actually surprised this scammer called back with a harsh tone of voice. It blew his cover wide open, didn't it?
ahah! I got the same scam befor! like the rest, everything was convincing until they wanted money from me! Same plot down to the 2nd phonecall from someone else to to confirm their authenticity. I even got to overhear the phone number of this other supposed winner other than me. SCAM! *hates*
Banzai to kenny!
Kenny dear, thanks for putting up the scam post. I got the same call many times too, before they even say anything I put down the phone lar...u know, it's good that people were informed about the it.
my friend had experience the same thing, those people made it seems so real that my friend even called me and asked me whether is she that lucky and whether she should go and take the money, i said " don't be silly! where got so big "gap la" running aroudn the street for u to catch!"
only people who are greedy will fall into this...
@Iva
"Ching Chong" is another racist slur directed to Chinese and Southeast Asian people. It's also used by those with little familiarity of the Chinese language to mock the language.
The term is probably up there with "slant eyes" and "chink".
Geng! You really have the way to treat them haha
That guy doesn't sound like from China. Chinese accent is not like that. Probably just a scammer from Malaysia who has connection in Hong Kong and China. He sounds very much like Taiwanese.
thats just too cool!! U kill them beyond godlike :D
Kenny! Please reformat the video into audio file 'cos youtube is banned here in Thailand. Thank you!!
tried googled HLB a/c name. got to the page http://planetmy.com/ but cannot open -_-
Kenny,
Those people are not from Hong Kong and China either. I don't know about Taiwan as suggested by some here but it could well be Malaysians (Singaporeans?) impersonating as Chinese/HKongers.
Some signs:
- Eu Sok Eng is NOT a typical Mainland chinese name
- Getting HK telephone numbers are easy partly due to VOIP and other stuffs
- You spelt the KANINA CHEE BYE: did you noticed how good their English alphabete prowess was? I have Chinese professors who speak good English who still need to slow down a bit on English spellings.
- Hong Kongers are not terribly good with English either
haha kenny u really make my day!! U did great and the kanina chee bye is the best company i ever heard. haha... legend la u..
First time I have heard people buying traffic to their site using only RM1.00 and whatever phone charges you incurred. :) Bravo. Ho Liau.
And did you notice from the newspaper articel, these scammers are "with underworld link in HK"? Better get Donnie Yen or Fat kor here to protect your delicate hynie. You are a brave man, Kenny. I salute you.
Something else about the scam is that some KNNCCB stupid locals renting out their bank account to these scammers. Police had caught a few. I hope they caught them all.
dear mr kenny sia.
you have wasted our time and money. for your insulting 'repayment' of rm1.00, we will kidnap you and sell your a$$ to our gay community for rm1.00 per time... until you 'repay' us the entire rm3,000.00.
thank you.
Mr. Accountant/Con-artist/Tea-lady/Dispatch-boy
Not need to go far or high tech. In Kuching there are many lucky draw scams too where the salesmen are all trained to act according to scripts. Bet they come from the same school that are churning out these scammers (from Nigerian scams to the latest SMS). However, if they can score on 1% that would still be a lot of money. Cos there are still a lot of gullible people out there who are suckers for easy money.
Hey kenny,
Thanks for the alert and blog on scams going around town these days. I suggest that u report the incident to the police for their further investigations. We dont want anyone we know to get conned by these wayward con artists. Thanks. Keep up the good work!
Regards,
Winnie
Serve them right, deposit RM1 to them. Want to cheat other people's money still so fierce, what the hell is wrong with them, crazy china man.
oh my goodness! i kena the same scam but i just ignored the persistant woman who called three days in a row.. they use private numbers to call you.
Kenny,
Your winning only RM120,000 ah? My winning is RM1.3million.
Mine got an added twist into it. They give me another HP no. of another Malaysian who won it and managed to get his winnings. I called the HP no and ask him a few series of questions. I know it was a fluke cause he don't speak a Malaysian accent, the HP no was routed back to some other countries. He claims that he is in Penang. Ask him speak Hokkien - he can't. Which Penang fellow don't speak Hokkien right?
Hi Kenny,
I once read the experience of a person who play a trick on one of the scammers. He kept telling them that he has remitted the money. So after a few times, he ask the scammer to remit the same amount of money to him instead to test if there is something wrong with the scammer's bank account. And the stupid scammer did!!!
You know what kenny... you are rock man!!! hahahaha! I wonder what mr. euk sok eng spend with that RM 1 that you give to him? hahaha.. serve him right.
I sooooo have to thank you for recording this man!!!!!!! Der r so many version of this, i can just DIE laughing my head off !!!!~ your ONE RINGGIT is pricelesss!!!!!
I got the exact same call once, a lady, when she started talking sounding like she's from China,i asked where is she calling from, she said Macau (i ask if she speaks cantonese cos im not fluent in mandarin, which was a LIE) she said she is from China and is transferred to Macau to work. and i say if ur base in macau, why in the world are u calling me with a 012-Malaysian number? she said "really?" and regain her 'foothold' and said "maybe its YOUR local operator bla bla bla.." i said okay, what u want, she said survey, i said okaylo. after the questions,she invited me to this event in Lake Gardens, and say there's a phone exhibition from samsung to nokia and i'll find good phones there, im like, can u email me ur promo leaflet, she's like, "oh i donno how to use email", i retort "and ur working in some international company???" she immediately say, "your lucky number is 0057, go there and redeem ur entry pass," i ask "can i bring my mom, cos she's sending me," she said "no, only invited ones only". i didnt go of cos. lazy.NEXT DAY,she called and i won a grand total of dunno how many HK dollars that sounded like some dream come true.i asked if she has a coverage of the event, she actually said "oh no, we didnt take picture of the winners who won cash, cos they might be robbed" (=_=)lll "RIGHT". anyway, she didnt want me to pay anything, which was quite a surprise, instead she wants my full name, IC and bank account to bank in the money, within 24 hours. i said okay but told her i forgot where i put my card. she called me the 3rd day, pursuing my details, and i just went "u know what, i dont believe u at all." and she hangs up. NO SHOCK one, cheehhh... but sometimes its not the money, its identity theft. soooo if u dont speak english, i think ur luckier cos u wont get these calls.
Kennysia... everybody talk about Kennysia, for someone with such reputation, funny coz it took sometimes before you actually realized it was a scam.
Act of sending RM1 was not so-called a success, indeed you loose RM1 to the scammer.
Real scam buster will actually turn the table around. Convince them to send you "tranfer fee" or stamp fee or whatever for your RM3000. Make it minima such as RM5.
Then the victory is yours.
Hi Kenny, not sure who is the sucker...they are still RM1 richer! :)
priceless
good job...lat time they call me oso...but i say i dun understand chinese n ask them to speak in english (p/s: i can understand chinese)...n they juz hang up my call...haha
Hi Kenny,
Thanks for your sharing and time. But I advise you to stay anonymous and dun show your face cos you do not want any trouble from these people. Jus some words of advice for the service you done to the public.
Cheers.
Dude, you ROCK! those consters are PWNED!! :D
is this for real kenny? but i did get a call from a chinese speaking lady once, who sounds chinese or taiwanese. and she asked me if i could speak hua yi, so i said "yi dian" but she started asking survey type questions in mandarin so i gave up and put down the phone...so weird...i wanted to find out more but my mandarin is terok lah...
This is gonna so piss that guy off... HAHAHA KNNCCB
wah...u contributed RM1 to those idiots.
their company oledi sound fishy: TIF FA NY. good god! cant they think of something else or trying to be smart. hmm...
so any call from them re: ur lack of fund.
this actually happened to my friend today. a woman with a somewhat incomprehensible mainland chinese accent asked her lots of questions. my friend went right out and asked her " are you trying to scam me?" and the woman on the phone acted all offended. she got cut off from the scammer when she(my friend) accidentally pressed the wrong button when i forced her to switch to speakerphone.
too bad my friend doesn't read kennysia.com, otherwise i'm sure she'll probably do the same thing you did.
i received the call to my office on the court case...
when i want to 'play' him by button '9' the phone hang-up and not calling back any more...
no fun :(
LOL!
u're totally cool in thissss.......

Bravo! Well done!!!

Kenny, why not report on that HLB account ? It should be shut down asap
Hi Kenny, I want to thank you for posting this.
Because I got a call of a similar nature right after I read your post and because you have already warned us readers about such a scam, I put down the phone immediately.
THANNKS!
