Scammers of the world unite!

Sick, you’d better bloody well believe it. Plumbing new depths, thieves have discovered a new scam to make a fast buck, become a doctor, and ask for cash….

Ibu Sillycow received a phone call from a man saying he was a doctor from a local hospital. He told Sillycow her daughter was dying in the hospital and needed an operation. The man asked her to transfer some money for the lifesaving procedure or she would die.

Sillycow lost the plot and demanded her husband transfer Rp 14.7 million (US$1,580) to a bank account, as specified by the Doctor. The stupid bastard did so!

The daughter had supposedly been in an accident and required immediate surgery to implant a heart pacemaker.

Right, you guessed it…a fucking scam. There was nothing wrong with her daughter and the hospital had not called!

Meanwhile, the local plod responded to the Jakarta Post with "I understand people panic when they hear their loved ones are dying in the hospital, but they have to be careful because it is probably a case of fraud," vice head of the criminal division at the city police Adjutant Senior Commander Sergeant Major Dixon of Dock Green said.

No mention was made about tracing neither the Bank Account Number nor the Bank that received the cash…wonder why!

Meanwhile, showing how fucking stupid some Jakartans can be a teacher claims she was hypnotized on her way to work and Rp 10 million (US$1,075) was stolen from her.

The Indonesian language teacher (supposedly well educated) said she met an old man called Zakaria, (funny that, Zakar is Indonesian for penis) who claimed to be the general manager of an oil company in Brunei Darussalam.

Apparently he explained that he needed assistance in changing some money, which he claimed he would give to charity.

Here’s where it all goes Indonesian. As quoted in the Jakarta Post “A veiled woman named Dewi approached the two people, showing sympathy to the old man, while her friend approached the group in a car.

Sugiyanti said she agreed to take the group to her house in Pasar Minggu. She took her bank account book and cashed it in at Bank DKI on Jl. Panglima Polim in South Jakarta, but did not know why. She now believes she was hypnotized. “

Come on for fuxxsakes. Am I missing something here or is everyone in this city as gullible as these victims. Anywhere else in the world I think that people would know when a scam was getting pulled, but apparently not in Jakarta.

Better dash, I have a triple bypass to get paid for and a golden fob watch to buy, oh yes, and when I count to ten you will wake up and remember nothing!
