Almost everyday I am getting unsolicited calls offering me all kind of things. Money, special cards, holidays etc. Most of the time I will just say no politely and they will understand. However, there are some that are persistent and will keep on calling.
I have also received my share of wins, through sms or calls. I remember one caller called me and said I have just won a car in a lucky draw. Another sms me with the news that I have just won rm 15,000. Yet another caller called to say that I have been selected to a special invitation that promises expensive gifts if I show up.
I knew off course that all these are just scams. They are trying to get your money through devious ways. Just ignore them and you'll be allright.
The trouble is they can come to your house while you are away and try to cheat your wife and children. It happened to my wife once. Although she was skeptical throughout, they can be very persistent and she almost took the bait. They wanted her to follow them to their shop in order for them to hand over the car that she has just 'won'. Luckilly she called me to say that she and one of our son were following them in her car to their shop to have a look and possibly collect the car. I told her to turn back immediately which she did. Otherwise, only God knows how much money they would have lost.
