Received from a friend, just to share.. Bros Beware!!. I almost fall victim to a scam deployed by china nationals over the weekend. On Sunday early morning at about 1am,I was having supper with a friend at a coffeeshop at the junction of Joo Chiat/Duku Road. Meanwhile,I was waiting for my wife to call me to pick her up at the airport once her plane touch down. As soon as my wife called,I went across the road to fetch my car whilst my friend went to the counter to buy a pack of cigarette.At the carpark,I need to reverse my car abit to drive off and suddenly,out of nowhere,a guy in the mid twenties and quite well built,came pounding at my car saying that I injured his foot whilst reversing.I was his target as he saw that I was alone.He was threatening and aggressive and demanded that I get out of my car to “settle it”.My immediate thought was how could I injure him at a quiet carpark in the wee hours and he should have known if I was reversing!!.It could be a scam.I refused to get out of car and told this guy that I have a friend with me who is buying cigarette and will arrive soon to check on his foot.When my friend was there and upon hearing what happened says that this guy is drunk and not injured at all.We told him that in Singapore,if someone is injured,we have to notify the police.Whilst he was arguing with my friend,I called 999 from inside the car Within minutes,an accomplice of his came to ask what was happening.We told him that the police is arriving soon to handle this matter.Knowing that their scam is not working and I was not alone,he tried to get the drunken guy to forget the matter but instead this guy went inside my car and wanted to know why I called the police when he did not hurt me.I reiterated that since he claimed that he was injured,the police has to be notified. He then boast that he is not afraid of our Singapore police as he have many “connections” back in China.I then asked him what does he actually wants from me.He replied that since I “injured” his foot,I should apologize.By this time,my wife is already at the airport pick up point and I just wanted to get this over.I apologized and these 2 guys then fled across the road where their getaway car was waiting I immediately called the police who are already on the way,to say that this matter has been resovled and no one will be at the scene as I need to rush to the airport.I confirmed with the police that this matter can be closed since there were no bodily injuries or $$$ paid On Sunday afternoon,I called the police hotline and informed them of such scams in that vicinity and that I am prepared to identify the culprits if any arrests are made Be on the lookout for such scams especially if you are driving alone at night and need to park at quiet spots!!

a good read, just for sharing~~~ http://mystarjob.com/articles/story.aspx?f...job_careerguide It was more than a decade ago when the first Matrix film was released. Yet, I can still vividly recall being captivated by how the movie happily combined science fiction with a Hong Kong action film style. More than that, the Matrix wasn
