Taktik Penjenayah

Kes-kes jenayah yang kita menjadi mangsa kepada keadaan. Di sini saya ada memetik beberapa kes yang berlaku bukan kerana kesalahan kita tetapi kerana keprihatinan kita sendiri.

(http://cikwiduri.wordpress.com/2008/10/08/fraud-tactics)

(1) Today I passed by a building which has an ATM machine. There was an old man looking at me. Suddenly, he called me. He said he didn’t know how to read, so he gave me his ATM card and asked me to help him withdraw money from the ATM machine. I answerd ‘NO!! If you need help, ask the security to help you’. Then he said ‘nevermind..’ and continued to find other people to help him.
REMEMBER: ATM machines have CCTVs. If you help him he will later claim that you have robbed him or stolen his ATM card. Besides, his ATM card could be a stolen one. So please be careful of these tactics.

(Hari ini saya melalui sebuah mesin ATM. Di situ ada seorang tua yang mencari saya. Tiba-tiba, dia memanggil. Orang tua itu mengatakan bahawa dia tidak pandai membaca, jadi dia memberikan kad ATMnya kepada saya dan meminta tolong untuk mengeluarkan wang daripada mesin tersebut. Saya menjawab "TIDAK! Jika pak cik perlukan bantuan, mintalah kepada pak guard (security guard) untuk membantu pak cik. Orang tua itu membalas "Tak mengapalah," dan mencari orang lain untuk membantunya.
PERINGATAN: Mesin ATM mempunyai kamera CCTV. Jika anda membantu pak cik itu, mungkin dia akan mendakwa anda merompak dia ataupun merampas kad ATMnya. Lagipun, mungkin dia menggunakan kad curi. Jadi, berhati-hatilah dengan taktik ini.)

(2) Suddenly your house lights go off. From your window you find that your neighbours still have lights. So you go out of your house to check the Meter Box. But once you open the door, a knife will be pointing at you and preventing you from closing it. This is when you will be robbed and injured. REMEMBER: Even though your electricity suddenly goes off, DO NOT open your door immediately. Look around to see if there is anything unusual or if there is any noise around.

(Secara tiba-tiba, rumah anda black-out. Anda boleh perhatikan rumah jiran masih mempunyai elektrik melalui tingkat rumah anda. Jadi, anda mungkin akan keluar dan memeriksa meter elektrik. Tetapi, apabila anda membuka pintu, anda akan ditikam dan anda tidak berdaya untuk menutup pintu itu (untuk menghalang mereka daripada masuk). Keadaan ini menyebabkan anda cedera ditikam dan rumah anda dirompak.
PERINGATAN: Walaupun black-out, JANGAN SESEKALI buka pintu rumah anda terlebih dahulu. Perhatikan sekeliling, pastikan tiada sesuatu perkara pelik atau bunyi-bunyi yang mencurigakan.)

(3) This is another incident. You may have heard it before, it is about a lady who she saw a kid crying by the roadside. When she spoke to the kid, the kid told her he was lost and wanted her to take him home. The kid even gave her a paper with his house address. So she took him home. But when she rang the door bell, she had an electric shock. Later when she woke up, she was naked in an empty room.
REMEMBER: Being such a compassionate and helpful person might not be a good thing these days. Pass this on and girls, please be careful.. DON’T BE TOO KIND!!

(Anda mungkin pernah dengar sebelum ini. Ia melibatkan seorang wanita yang melihat seorang budak menangis di tepi jalan. Bila dia bertanya, budak itu memberitahu bahawa dia telah sesat dan meminta tolong supaya dia dihantarkan pulang ke rumahnya. Budak itu tidak memberikan apa-apa dokumen yang tertulis alamatnya. Jadi, wanita tersebut membawa budak itu pulang ke rumah yang didakwanya. Tetapi apabila wanita itu menekan loceng, dia terkena kejutan elektrik dan pengsan. Apabila sedar, dia telanjang bulat dalam sebuah bilik kosong.
PERINGATAN: Kebelakangan ini, menjadi seorang yang baik dan tolong-menolong (secara membuta-tuli) memungkinkan anda menjadi mangsa kepada jenayah. Sebar-sebarkanlah terutamanya kepada wanita. Jadi, JANGAN JADI TERLAMPAU BAIK.)

(4) One day, there was an old lady outside my house holding 2 packets of sweets. At first I thought she was our neighbour and wanted to give us these packs of sweets as a gift. But then when she spoke, I can realised that she was foreigner. I could not understand what she was talking about. I guessed she must be asking for money.I sensed there was something wrong and immediately closed the door and ignored her. Later, I found she and an accomplice robbed someone else down the road.

(Suatu hari, ada seorang nenek berdiri di luar rumah saya sambil memegang 2 peket gula-gula. Mula-mula, saya sangka dia jiran saya dan mahu memberi kami (sekeluarga) gula-gula it, tetapi bila dia mula bercakap, saya sedar yang dia bukan orang Malaysia. Saya langsung tidak memahami apa yang dikataknya. Mungkin dia meminta derma untuknya. Saya berasa tidak sedap badan dan saya tutup pintu dan mengabaikannya. Selang kemudian, dia dan rakannya (tidak dikenali) telah merompak rumah berhampiran.)

(5) I was at the ATM machine to withdraw some money. Behind me, there was an old lady. She asked me whether I was able to withdraw my money because she said she had problem with her machine. Suddenly a small girl came up beside me. The small girl was squeezing infront of me. I thought she was just naughty and playful. But then, the small girl put her hand at the tray of the ATM machine where the money comes out, ready to take away my money. I sensed something wrong aned immediatly pushed her away. Later I realised that the small girl and the old lady worked together. She was trying to steal my money while the old lady was trying to distract my attention by asking me questions! REMEMBER: BE VERY CAREFUL when you are at an ATM machine and be alert. Look out for anyone suspicious around you!

(I sedang mengeluarkan wang daripada mesin ATM. Belakang saya, ada seorang nenek. Dia menanyakan soalan sama ada saya boleh mengeluarkan wang ataupun tidak kerana dia mendakwa mesin itu bermasalah. Tiba-tiba, seorang budak perempuan datang dan bermain-main dihadapan saya. Saya sangka budak itu riang dan nakal. Tetapi kemudiannya, dia meletakkan tangannya di tempat keluar wang dan bersedia untuk membawa lari duit saya. Saya rasa ada yang tidak kena dan terus menolak budak itu ke tepi. Kemudian, saya menyedari budak dan nenek tua itu berpakat, budak itu akan melarikan wang ketika saya dililaukan dengan soalan nenek tua itu.
PERINGATAN: HATI-HATI ketika anda berada di mesin ATM dan berwaspada. Perhatikan sekiranya terdapat orang yang mencurigakan di sekeliling.)

(6) My parents are retired and stay at home most days. One afternoon, a young stranger went to their house and said his motorcycle had no more petrol and the petrol station was too far for him to push his bike there. So he asked my parents for an empty coke bottle to buy some petrol. He said he will pay RM2 for the bottle. So my mum took one coke bottle for him. He really took out the money from his pocket, but it was a RM 100 note. He told my mum he had no small change and asked my mum to give him the change. Luckily my mum was smart. She just told him to take it for free.
REMEMBER: obviously that note is fake!! Who would want to pay for RM2 for an empty coke bottle!! It’s very OBVIOUS that stranger is a trickster.

(Ibu bapa saya pesara. Suatu hari, seorang pemuda asing datang ke rumah mereka dan mengatakan bahawa dia motornya kehabisan minyak sedangkan stesen minyak begitu jauh untuk dia menolak motornya. Jadi dia mahu membeli botol kosong dengan harga RM2 untuk dia pergi mengisikan minyak. Ibu saya memberikan satu botol untuknya. Ketika pemuda itu mengeluarkan wang dari poketnya, dia mendapati hanya terdapat RM100 sahaja. Dia mengatakan bahawa dia tiada wang kecil dan meminta ibu saya memberikan bakinya. Ibu saya kemudiannya memberikan botol itu secara percuma.
PERINGATAN: Wang tersebut sebenarnya palsu. Siapa yang akan bayar RM 2 hanya untuk satu botol kosong? Secara TERANG pemudia itu seorang penipu.)

(7) This happened in Bali. A newly married couple were having their honeymoon at the hotel. When both are in the changing room, the wife suddenly went missing. The husband was very anxious and went around to find her. He asked the hotel staff to help him find her. Then he thought his wife was just playing hide and seek. So he went back and waited for his wife. After a few hours, he decided to call the police. 3 weeks passed and there was still no news about his missing wife. So he went back and was very dissapointed and sad. A few years later, he came back to Bali, to watch a ‘FREAK SHOW’ in an old house. He saw a dirty and rusty metal cage. Inside there was a lady without limbs. Her body including the face was full of scars. When he had a closer look at her face, he was shocked to find that it was her missing wife put there as a means for begging.

(Situasi ini berlaku di Bali. Sepasang suami isteri berbulan madu di sebuah hotel. Ketika keduanya berada di bilik persalinan, isterinya tiba-tiba hilang. Si suami berasa cemas dan terus mencari isterinya. Dia meminta bantuan kakitangan hotel untuk mencarinya. Dia menyangka isterinya bermain sorok-sorok dan mengambil keputusan menunggu isterinya di bilik. Selepas beberapa jam, dia membuat panggilan polis. 3 minggu berlalu, tiada khabar tentang kehilangan isterinya. Dia kemudiannya balik dengan sedihnya. Selepas beberapa tahun, dia datang ke Bali untuk menyaksikan Freak Show (pameran benda-benda pelik). Dia melihat seorang wanita cacat dalam sebuah sangkar. Badannya penuh dengan parutan. Ia dinyatakan sebagai "Peminta" (sedekah, may be). Bila dia perhatikan wajahnya, dia terkejut bahawa itulah isterinya yang hilang.)

(8) This happened in Shanghai. A few years ago, a lady reported to the police that her cousin sister was missing in the shopping complex. But after 5 years, one of her friends found her cousin sister begging at the road side one of the streets in Bangkok, Thailand. The worst thing is that her cousin sister has no more limbs and her body was tied to a lamp post with a shackle (metal chain).

(Situasi ini berlaku di Shanghai. Beberapa tahun lalu, seorang wanita membuat laporan polis tentang kehilangan sepupunya di shopping complex. Selepas 5 tahun, seorang rakannya menjumpai sepupunya meminta sedekah di tepi jalan di Bangkok, Thailand. Paling menyedihkan, sepupunya tiada anggota badan dan badannya diikat pada tiang lampu dengan rantai besi.)

(9) Let’s just shorten this story. DO NOT open your house door when you hear the sound of a BABY CRYING!! It might be a trap! Women in the house must be alert to this trick. The police said it is the work of a robber or murderer using the recording of a baby crying to attract your attention. This normally happens at night and when you are alone in the house.

(JANGAN buka rumah anda apabila mendengar TANGISAN BAYI! Ia mungkin perangkap! Berwaspadalah terutamanya wanita. Pihak polis mengatakan bahawa terdapat perompak atau pembunuh yang menggunakan record tape (dan seumpama dengannya) untuk menarik perhatian anda. Ini biasa berlaku pada waktu malam dan ketika anda keseorangan di rumah.)

(10) I read an email that was sent by my friend. Her friend, known as A, went to Luo Hu Commercial City with 2 friends, B and C. Luo Hu Commercial City is the Shenzhen counterfeit goods distribution center. There are many people there. It’s also near to the ShenZhen train station and Hong Kong’s Luo Hu Port. C went to the toilet at the shpping centre while A and B waited outside. After waiting for a long time, they felt uneasy and went into the toilet to look for her. When they went in, there was nobody inside. Both were scared and they called C’s phone. There was no reply. So they reported to the police. The police asked them whether they had seen anyboby suspicious going into the toilet. Both said there were none and its impossible to bring a life person out of the toilet without them noticing! Then A remembered seeing a cleaner pushing a trolley in, and then coming out. The police told them that was not the 1st time such a thing happened. The police suspected a gang of criminals who were always attacking women in the the toilet of shopping complexes. They use cleaners to kidnap people to harvest their organs for sale.
REMEMBER: Please be careful when using the toilet. Do not go to the wash room or toilet ALONE!! Please at least have a partner with you.

(Saya membaca satu emel yang dihantar oleh rakan saya. Kawannya, A, pergi ke Luo Hu Commercial City dengan 2 orang, B dan C. Luo Hu Commercial City ialah pusat pengedaran barangan tiruan di Shenzhen. Ramai orang di sana. Ia berhampiran dengan stesen kereta api dan Pelabuhan Luo Hu di Hong Kong. C pergi ke tandas di sebuah pusat membeli-belah manakala A dan B tunggu di luar. Setelah sekian lama mereka menunggu, mereka masuk ke dalam untuk mencarinya (kerana terlalu lama menunggu). Tiada sesiapapun di dalam tandas. A dan B berasa takut lalu mereka menelefon telefon bimbit C. Tiada respon .Jadi, mereka membuat laporan polis. Polis bertanya sama ada melihat sesiapa yang mencurigakan masuk ke dalam tandas. Keduanya menyatakan tiada sesiapapun di sana dan mustahil ada yang membawa C keluar tanpa pengetahuan mereka. Kemudian, A teringat melihat seorang cleaner menolak troli masuk dan keluar. Polis memberitahu mereka bahawa ini buka kali pertama berlaku. Pihak polis mengesyaki terdapatnya sekumpulan penjenayah yang menyerang wanita di dalam tandas shopping complex. Mereka menyamar sebagai cleaner untuk mencolek dan mengambil organ badannya untuk di jual.
PERINGATAN: Berhati-hati ketika menggunakan tandas. Jangan masuk ke dalam tandas BERSENDIRIAN! Sekurang-kurangnya bawalah seorang teman bersama anda.)

Tinta mencoret: Tak tahulah apa yang nak dikatakan. Cuma satu sahaja, kepada wanita-wanita, berjalanlah dalam kumpulan. Lebih selamat dalam kumpulan daripada berpasangan sahaja... Dan ke mana sahaja kita pergi, ingat Tuhan, jangan lupa Tuhan dan berdoalah ketika kita ditimpa musibah...
