（柔佛‧麻坡）家庭主婦接欺詐電話，心跳100，慶幸未上當！

婦女鄭麗雲（58歲）指出，她是於12月23日上午10時左右，接獲一通意圖欺詐的電話。
接聽電話時就傳來男孩的哭聲，並自稱是她的孩子，還一直不停的說他被打得半死、救他等的說話。當時她幾乎被嚇壞。

“後來，電話就轉交給另外一名男子。我就問那名男子他是做哪一個行業，因為自稱是我兒子的男子叫這名男子為老闆".

當這名男子回答說是電訊公司時，婦女就懷疑男子是在撒謊。她的兒子林德俊（20歲）是名車床技術人員，並不在電訊公司工作。所以她再問這位“老闆”，兒子叫甚麼名字時，他就責罵她連兒子的名字都不知道，如果不想救你就掛電話吧。

婦女就告訴他，是她兒子當然要救，但是也必須知道地點在哪裡才能夠救，不過這名男子卻都不說出地點，後來男子就掛掉電話了。

打電話給兒子證實平安

為了確保孩子的安全，婦女即打電話給兒子，證實兒子平安的在工作，不過她已被這通電話嚇壞了。當時，丈夫林世誠（62歲，食堂助理）也在場。

“週五（12月26日）早上類似的電話又再響起，這次是哭著說要被擄走了。我就告訴男子我已報警，對方才掛斷電話。”這一次婦女還是打了通電話給孩子，確保孩子安全。

婦女覺得這幾通電話令人擔心害怕外，也干擾了她的生活。她也投訴說，電話簿中有租戶的姓名、電話和地址，擔心全家人的生命被威脅。她披露，電話中的男聲都是中國口音。

住家進賊偷走1萬財物

此外，夫婦兩人也披露，11月8日時，他們的住家也進賊。當時是凌晨4時許。竊賊是從百葉窗鉤走放在屋內的鎖匙，開啟大門鎖進入樓下住家，偷走了約1萬令吉的財物，包括女兒剛領的薪水。

婦女指出，她是聽到樓下傳來聲響，但不疑有他。她相信是她的咳嗽聲令竊賊逃走。她是約於凌晨4時30分下樓取止咳藥時，發現屋子進賊。

文打煙州議員魏宗賢在陪同夫婦報警後召開新聞發佈會。他披露，這是警方接獲的首宗電話欺騙投報。他呼吁接獲類似電話的民眾前往警局（06-9526001）報案，讓警方能儘速破案。

他贊揚夫婦兩人在此情況中保持鎮定，才不致上當。他相信這是個欺騙集團，從電話簿中找電話，並專對婦女下手。

他說，馬電訊所出版的電話簿被濫用，電訊公司應考慮是否還要再出版同樣的電話簿。他也告訴坡眾，其實只要繳10令吉，馬電訊就會刪除租戶的名字，只留下地址和電話。

電話簿遭濫用

對此，他認為，在電話簿遭濫用的情況下，馬電訊應方便民眾，在無需付費的情況下，自動刪除租戶在電話簿內的名字。

他也鼓勵民眾使用顯現電話號碼的電話，方便警方展開調查工作，早日破案。他也提醒民眾切勿上當，尤其是婦女須提高警覺。

NEW STRAITS TIME

MUAR: A couple received two telephone calls claiming that their son was kidnapped and that he would be hurt if demands were not met in time.

The first call was made at l0am on Tuesday, followed by another call yesterday around the same time.

Both calls were allegedly made by the same person believed to be a man.

Lim See Koon, 62, a school canteen operator, and wife, Tay Lee Hoon, 58, however contacted their 20-year-old son who worked as a mechanic in Malacca.

To their relief, he told them that he was all right and that he had not been kidnapped.

Suspecting something amiss, the couple lodged a report at the Muar police station at noon yesterday.

At a press conference organised by Bentayan State Assemblyman Gwee Tong Hiang yesterday, Tay said both the calls began with the wailing of a youth claiming to be her son and calling her to save his life.

Tay said she initially panicked and said she would meet all the demands from the kidnapper.

She, however, requested to meet her son before any ransom was made.

"I told the 'kidnapper' that if he did not agree, I would lodge a police report. The conversation then ended abruptly."

The same happened during the second telephone call.

"The youth claimed he was kidnapped and tortured. He said he would only be released if we met their conditions," she said, adding that she later decided to call her son just to confirm the incident.

Tay said the man who claimed to be the kidnapper spoke to her in Mandarin and had a strong foreign accent.

Gwee, who accompanied the couple to make the police report, said this was the first time such a case had been reported to him and he commended the couple for reporting the threat.

"I believe that there are groups on the prowl to cheat unsuspecting individuals. They could have obtained the telephone number from the telephone directory."

Muar police chief Assistant Commissioner Muhammad Nasir Ramli said investigations were under way and advised the public to lodge reports if they received such calls.
