be EXTRA EXTRA careful..

becareful when you're dealing with your important documents such as your identity card, birth certificate and anything which has your personal details on it..
my mom received a letter from celcom which says she owes them RM1,000 plus for her phone bills...but the fact is, she never had a celcom number before..how's it possible that she's owing them so much?? and it seems that the number was applied in the year 2003 under her name in petaling jaya..all the way there just to register a celcom number?!? i doubt my parents know exactly where that place was anyway.. thank God a particular detail was wrong so i guess it will be settled soon..


this is the case when outsiders managed to obtain your photostated ic or birth certificate.. and before going to the celcom office yesterday, my mom went to photostat our house's electricity bill for evidence purpose..at the photostating shop, the paper coming out of the machine was crumpled when the bill was photostated..so she photostated another one and below is the conversation between mom and that lady..

mom : eh, what happened to the first copy?
lady : oh, something's wrong with it, i need to show it to the technician..
( it's o
mom : can you tear it and throw it away?
lady : oh no, i gotta show it to the technician..
mom : can i have it back then?
lady : (in a very rude manner ) nah, take back la!

what else was her intention if it's not to sell it to someone else to commit another fraud?? my dad said that people actually sell or buy these at 10cents per document.. SO BE EXTRA CAREFUL AND ALERT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE PHOTOSTATING IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS..

and if you're using atm cards of any banks besides CIMB to withdraw your money, never ever go to the CIMB atm machine..they'll charge you 9 bucks for the transaction..i don't know why but it's true..i've heard of cases like that so avoid CIMB atm machines unless you use a CIMB card..

hope this long post didn't bore you this time cause i really wanna warn others not to fall for it and it acts as a reminder for myself too..

that's all for now..till then!
