Beware..Another type of con case

I heard this from FL and it happened on his friend few days ago at Kota Damansara. Let’s just refer FL’s friend as C.

C had just rented out his studio apartment and he went to collect the deposit from his tenant few days ago, around 3pm. He received RM 3K cash from the tenant and he placed it in two separate partitions in his pouch, front, RM 1200, back, RM 1800.

At first he wanted to go pay the maintenance fees with the money but then the management office was already closed. So he decided to go home. While he was walking towards his car (parked outside the condo), a wira stopped beside him.

There were 3 ppl in the car, 2 guys dressed like middle east ppl, and 1 gal (foreigner). Anyway, that 2 guys speak to C in Mandarin.

So here’s how their conversation like..

C: FL’s friend, M1: Middle east ppl 1, M2: Middle east ppl 2

M1: Hi, is there any nice food around here?
C: Hmm, not really… (continue walking to his car)
M1: Oh, does restaurants here receive singapore dollar?
C: No, only take RM.
M1: How does RM looks like?
C: (took out his pouch and show them a RM 50 note) this is RM 50.

Suddenly, M2 walks down from the car..and wanted to grab the RM 50 note from C. As for C, he was holding the RM 50 in one hand, and another hand pressing hard on his pouch. C did not let M2 touch his money. Then M1 continue to speak…

M1: oh, what about this? (showing C a 1000 Baht), restaurants here take this?
C: (a quick glance at the 1000 Baht, at the same time, both hands still grabbing hard on his money) No.
M1: Ok then. Thanks.

M2 walked back to the car and then they left. After they left, C realized RM 600 from his pouch was gone!! These ppl were FAST! How did M2 took his money from his pouch right in front of  his eyes?

When I heard the story, I asked FL, why C go show him RM 50? He should have just ignore them, right? Anyway, these ppl really good in these tricks, so dun ever show ppl your money!! And guess what, we can’t be good ppl nowadays, so, the best is don’t even talk to strangers!!

~sigh, what kind of world we’re in now? Full of con cases…
