African Scam 2 ...

Follow up to my “African Scam Blown”

There's a new scam now employed by Africans often taking place in crowded malls.

This new one's plain simple and straight but even with this, many females somehow have fallen for it. It’s now rampant in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This is how it goes ...

1.   You’ll be approached in a crowded mall with a gift. The gift's usually in a way of glass vase or porcelain china. It'll look expensive. The giver will say it’s a treasure unearthed from a sunken shipwreck off the coast of some god forsaken ocean only a Pirate will know some 100 years ago. And priceless.

2.   You'll be asked to look for potential buyers to do a resale later into the market. All sorts of market gimmicks and connections will be told to you making you to believe it’s real. These Africans will come up with documented evidences to tell you the shipwreck was real and a great team of marine archaeologist spent millions of dollars risking their lives to unearth all these treasures.

3.   As you’re looking at the vase or china, a passerby will stop by you and pretend to know about vases and china and immediately will take an interest in the gift. This is where the scam starts.

4.   The passerby will be so interested in the gift, will ask for the price and pester you to sell. She'll challenge you to give her the 'treasure' if you're not willing to believe in it. This will make you feel the vase /china is all genuine and haggle over the price.

5.   The African will pretend to argue with the passerby and shooo her away then tell you that even people on the streets recognize the “price” and the “genuine” of the vase/china.

6.   Then, you'll be asked to promote and invest into the promotion and the sale of the “treasure” and eventually get cheated with your belongings.

(Do note: At this time, most women who fall for this are those elderly ones with lots of savings and looking for investments. These Africans know where to look for as they're always hanging around banks scrutinizing on the bank customers.)

At the time I'm writing this, a prominent business lady who actually sells vases and chinaware lost RM500,000.00 (USD165,000.00) to the Africans.

So ladies, if you’re reading this… BEWARE of any stranger approaching you with gifts.

Believe me…if there's any vase or china all that expensive, NO ONE will part it with you or with anyone.

Think about it.

I personally believe there's more than just about vases and Chinas.
