PLS STAY ALERT

 
It all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from the telephone
service provider and
 he asked me to shutdown my phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place. As I was rushing for a
meeting,

I did not question and shutdown my cell phone. 

 
 
 After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly
turned on my cell phone
 and I received several calls from my family members and the others were from the number that had
called me earlier -
 3954380.
 
 
 I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried asking me whether I am
safe.. My parents told me
 that they had received a call from someone claiming that they had me with them and asking for
money to let me free.
 The call was so real and my parents even heard 'my  voice' crying out loud asking for help. My
parent was at
 the bank waiting for next call to proceed for money  transfer. I told my parents that I am safe and
asked them
 to lodge a police report. 
 
 
 Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to  shutdown my cell phone for
another 1 hour which I refused to  do and hung up.

They keep calling my cell phone until the battery had run down. I myself lodged a police report and I
 was informed by the officer that there were many such scams  reported. MOST of the cases
reported that the victim had
 already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get  back the money. 
 
 
 Be careful as this kind of scam might happen to any of us!!!

  Those guys are so professional and very convincing during calls. If you are asked to shut down
your cell phone for
 updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND! Your family or friends might receive the same call. 
 
 Be Safe and Stay Alert!

 Please pass around to your family and friends!
