China Scam

I got a call firsthand today by some person involved in a scam. From a China lady. It's definitely a scam, and I'm pissed with her. Sorry frenz, nothing to do with the Chinese, but it's just another rude person I've met. I've read about it in the papers before, but never thought I'll get a firsthand experience.


In mandarin: all in one breath in a mainland chinese accent. put that at a length of 20sec.

1) phone rings
2) Hi Miss, can you understand mandarin?
3) blah blah blah, until now, i have no idea where she is from.
4) mentions that I'm invited to go to Macau to visit some place...
5) and asks me to register it urgently somewhere
6) tells her not interested.
7) She slams phone in the midst of saying something.

Half the time, I had no idea what she was talking about, because of her strong accent, and obviously memorised script.

Man, maybe I should learn to do my telephone script the way like her?! Difference is, I will never slam the phone on someone. Go away u rude people!!!

Just want to warn all of you to be careful. It's no longer a Nigerian scam. Now Chinese scams are the rage.
