Mosquito Ringtone

Here's something interesting.  Since younger people can hear higher pitch noise, the following ringtone is targeted for students who owns a cell phone and don't want teachers to hear it.  Cool eh? :)

Another phone scam

Its all started when I received a call from someone claimed that he was Maxis asking me to shutdown phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place. As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question any shutdown my cell phone. After 45 minutes I feel very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly turned on back my cell phone back and I received several numbers of call; few numbers from my family members and the other numbers was from the number that call me before; 3954380.

I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worry asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they received a call from someone claimed that they have 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 asking them to lodge a police report.

MOST of the cases reported that the victim already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get back the money.
Bank can only returned back the money if the owners of the account agree to do so or there is a court order.
