Guys, Read the mail below, then read what ACTUALLY happened to me also... Subject: FW: Lucky Draw SCAM-MUST READ-New @Kota Damansara & Damansara UptownMaybanDate: Sun, 23 Jul 2006 13:42:00 +0000Lucky Draw SCAM-MUST READ-New @Kota Damansara & Damansara UptownMaybank An important note from a friend..... Very informative...it could happen anywhere ..... I am just gonna make this whole terrible experience as short as possible as i still need to pack up for KK Ok, This happened in Kota Damansara Shell Station (the one opposite Palm Spring condo, very near to the Curve). There is a scam and I was the unlucky target First, i drove into the petrol station to pump petrol. While I was pumping my new (old toyota SEG) car, a very young girl approached me (about 18 years old). She offered me a coupon saying it is a lucky draw from a car servicing company. She showed me a piece of newspaper clipping with the lucky draw advertisement. Well...all she is trying to do is to convince me that this "lucky draw" is real. Well...it could be real at this moment. So i took the coupon and opened it. It said that had won 6 prices + RM1000. The "girl" jumped up and down and congratulated me and asked me why I am not feeling happy winning 6 prices with 1k as it is one of their top price! well...i am still not convinced. Then another girl came and asked what had happened and etc.. she also jumped in jubilation. In less than 30 seconds, another girl came. no difference, she also jumps. And because i was pumping petrol, the tank is already filled and the shell staff was waiting for me to sign off the Visa statement, so after signing it, the girls said that should park my car and continue to discuss the winning process. Ok...i parked my car nearer to the counter. But when i stopped my car's engine, one of the girl opened my rear passenger's door wanting to come in. I realised this and immediately walked out of the car and locked it. (and i also shut the passenger door before i locked my car) -- Note, very difficult to get an unwanted human off a car 
She said she wanted to have some airconditioning inside, but i said it is not healty if the car is not moving, so better we talk outside Ok, she starts to say that there are 2 conditions to win the prizes. I must take picture for the newspaper because I won a grand prize. Second, I must take it with my car. ok....fine. So then they drove a toyota UNSER car plate number WMM 8393 (black colour) beside my car, they said, "get in!lets go! we'll go to the office and get it done! and you get your prizes."Huh?!? I'm going in your car? NO WAY! I responded to them like I am not free, I need to pack and get ready to go overseas. Well...I didnt lie, I am really going to pack for KK and go "overseas" to Sabah So after a while of refusing to get into the car, another guy came and joined the crowd. This is where i confirm this whole thing was a scam. 1st: Why is it now? I asked for the phone number and they said I need to follow them in order to make the coupon valid.2nd: This guy talks like a gangster. and he stared at me like he is going to eat me.3rd: They said I need to take picture with my car but why now, I don't need to??? Thats it, I rushed inside the shell counter and complained this to the staffs and manager. Then I saw the Unser driving off while i was complaining. So everyone out there...you know what to do. please help to broadcast this event. Protect your love ones.
Ok, I also thot this is just another chain-letter-scary-story emails. But, the same bunch of @#$% tried to pull a fast one on me last Saturday (19 Aug).I was at the Kota D’sara Petronas station last Sat at around 6ish in the evening. As soon as I pulled up at a petrol pump, a young Chinese girl walked over and stool next to the pump (outside my car door), smiling. The girl fits the description in the email above, long hair, abt 5’2” – 5’3”. She started talking to me and asking me various questions. I was already a little suspicious and ignored her as best as I can while continuing to fill my car. A second Chinese girl then appeared (like the email above) and stood on my other side. Shorter girl (abt 5’) and looks younger than the first. By this time, the first girl started to offer me Jusco discount coupons. By then, I’d already know it was a scam and called a petrol attendant over and asked him to call the manager to call the cops. I then told the girls that they are calling the cops. Immediately, she started walking away towards the corner of the building (Maybank’s drive thru ATM) and hung around there. I got into my car and drove round the building towards the back. When I passed the drive thru, I saw the black unser (as described in the email), the 2 girls and 2 other Chinese male (one was quite tall – prob 5’10”+ while the other one was slightly shorter and fat) hanging around. They looked like street thugs from those HK gangster movies. As soon as I got home, I called the Kota Damansara Police Station and asked them to send a petrol car over to check. Not sure if the cops actually went, coz when I drove out for dinner at around 7, the Unser was still there and the guys were still standing around. Anyway, just becareful out there when you pump petrol. Also, I didn't have a camera with me, so couldn't take any photos.
