Child Kidnap Trick in Carrefour, JB (Urban Legend)

The following message has, according to Urban Legend, been circulating since 1999. As the message circulated, the shop and country where it happened changed. With the kidnap and murder of Nurin still fresh in our minds, it does not hurt to send this kind of message to remind parents to have their children close by their sides when they are out shopping together.

But do read some useful information posted by Urban Legend about kidnapping. Like; do you know that a child is far more likely to be snatched by a family member or ex-spouse?

The Professional

A woman was at work when she received a phone call that her small daughter was very sick with a fever. She left her work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication. She got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys in the car. She didn't know what to do, so she called home and told the baby sitter what had happened.

The baby sitter told her that the fever was getting worse. She said, "You might find a coat hanger and use that to open the door."

The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been left on the ground, possibly by someone else who at some time had locked their keys in their car. She looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this."

She bowed her head and asked God to send her help. Within five minutes a beat up old motorcycle pulled up, with a dirty, greasy, bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag on his head.

The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me?" But, she was desperate, so.... She was also very thankful.

The man got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She said, "Yes, my daughter is very sick. I stopped to get her some medication and I locked my keys in my car. I must get home to her. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?"

He said, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was opened.

She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank you so much! You are a very nice man."

The man replied, "Lady, I am not a nice man. I just got out of prison today. I was in prison for car theft and have only been out for about an hour."

The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out loud,

"Oh, Thank you God!
You even sent me a professional!"

Beware of this trick at MegaMall Mid Valley

I do not know if this is a true story but better safe than sorry.

====================================================================

LET THIS TRUE STORY SERVE AS A WARNING

To the men : warn your loved ones !
To the women : remember this !

About a month ago there was a woman standing by the Mega Mall entrance
passing out flyers to all the women going in. The woman had written the
flyer herself to tell about an experience she had, so that she might warn
other women.

The previous day, this woman had finished shopping, went out to her car and
discovered that she had a flat. She got the jack out of the trunk and began
to change the flat. A nice man dressed in business suit and carrying a
briefcase walked up to her and said,

"I notice you're changing a flat tire.

Would you like me to take care of it for you?"

The woman was grateful for his offer and accepted his help. They chatted
amiably while the man changed the flat, and then put the flat tire and the
jack in the trunk, shut it and dusted his hands off. The woman thanked him
profusely, and as she was about to get in her car, the man told her that he

left his car around on the other side of the mall, and asked if she would
mind giving him a lift to his car. She was a little surprised and asked him
why his car was on other side. He explained that he had seen an old friend
in the mall that he hadn't seen for some time and they had a bite to eat
and visited for a while; he got turned around in the mall and left through
the wrong exit, and now he was running late and his car was clear around on
the other side of the mall.

The woman hated to tell him "no" because he had just rescued her from
having to change her flat tire all by herself, but she felt uneasy. Then
she remembered seeing the man put his briefcase in her trunk before shutting it and before he asked her for a ride to his car.

She told him that she'd be happy to drive him to his car, but she just
remembered one last thing she needed to buy. She said she would only be few
minutes; he could sit down in her car and wait for her; she would be as
quick as she could be. She hurried into the mall, and told a security guard
what had happened; the guard came out to her car with her, but the man had
left.

They opened the trunk, took out his locked briefcase and took it down to
the police station. The police opened it (ostensibly to look for ID so they
could return it to the man). What they found was rope, duct tape and
knives.

When the police checked her "flat" tire, there was nothing
wrong with it; the air had simply been let out. It was obvious what the
man's motive was, and obvious that he had carefully thought it out in
advance.

The woman was blessed to have escaped harm. How much worse it would have
been had she waited in the car while the man fixed the tire, or if she had
a baby strapped into a car seat. Or if she'd gone against her judgment and
given him a lift. I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know.

It may save a life. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I
was going to send this to the ladies only; but guys, if you love your
mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it on to
them, as well.

Send this to any woman you know that may need to be reminded that the world
we live in has a lot of crazies in it....better than sorry.

PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!

JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND USE YOUR HEAD!!!

A wake up call from my son.

My son came home from school recently and happily told me that he has scored 91% for his Science subject. I was smiling with pride, until he rattled on the scores of his classmates, with one hitting 98%.

I asked him why he could not hit that mark too. He looked at me blankly and said, "I can easily hit 100%". As I looked at him with an "Are you sure?" expression, he continued, "Just copy", and walked away.

Well, I have been to school before and I know that some of my classmates do copy during examinations. I quickly grabbed hold of my son, and told him that I am so proud that he has done so well without cheating.

So, the next time he tells me his score I am going to shout "Yahoo, well done!", instead of pushing him to copy.

Don't worry if you lose your keys...

... but be wary that it is so easy to OPEN your "zip luggage".

This video shows how easy it is to break open your zippered baggage.
You may not even notice it until you open your baggage after you
arrive at your destination. It is much better for you to keep your
valuables with your hand carry....

ATM Pin Number in Reverse (Hoax)

If you have been forwarding this message around, please add a note that it is a hoax because the system is currently not in place at any banks. Though the idea is good, it may not be possible for you to be able to recall your pin number in reverse when you are in such a situation.

You can read more about how this idea came about at Snopes.

----------------------------------------------------------------
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321.

The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom used because people don't know it exists.

Please pass this along to everyone possible.

TACTICS OF RAPING

I do not know if this is a true story but the advise posted right at the bottom of this message is very logical and, that is, don't handle such matters on your own. Go to the police station.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

This happen in a remote part of KL. Today after office hours, I heard from my sister-in-law that there is a new way to rape women. It happened to one of our good friends. The girl left the office after working hours and saw a little child crying on the road.

Feeling pity for the child, she went and ask what happened. The child said, "I am lost. Can you take me home please?" Then the child gave her a slip and tell the girl where the address is. And the girl, being an average kind person, didn't suspect anything and took the child there.

And there when it arrived the "child's home", she pressed the door bell, yet she was shocked as it the bell was wired with high voltage, and fainted.

The next day when she woke up, she found herself in an empty house up in the hills, naked. Condoms were all thrown around with semens flowing. There were at least about 20 condoms! She has not even seen her assailant. That's why nowadays crimes are targeted on kind people like us.

Next time if the same situation occurs, never bring the child to the intended place. If the child insist, then bring the child to the police station. Lost child are best to send to police stations.

Two elderly people living in Trailer Estates, he was a Widower and she a widow, had known each other for a number of years.

One evening there was a community supper in the big activity center. The two were at the same table, across from one another as the meal went on, he took a few admiring glances at her and finally gathered the courage to ask her, " Will you marry me?"

After about six seconds of ' careful consideration' , she answered "Yes. Yes, I will. "

The meal ended and, with a few more pleasant exchanges, they went to Their respective places.

Next morning, he was troubled. "Did she say 'yes' or did she say 'no'?" He couldn't remember. Try as he might, he just Could not recall. Not even a faint memory. With trepidation, he went to The telephone and called her.

First, he explained that he didn't remember as well as he used to. Then he reviewed the lovely evening past. As he gained a little more courage, he inquired, "When I asked if you would marry me, did you say 'Yes' or did you say 'No'?"

He was delighted to hear her say, "Why, I said, 'Yes, yes I will' and I Meant it with all my heart. " Then she continued, "I am so glad that you called, because I couldn't remember who had asked me."

999? The emergency number to call once again.

In August, I wrote that "999" is not the emergency number to call but the government has decided, on 1st October, that there should be a free and common number to use for all emergency services.

Energy, Water and Comminications Deputy Minsiter, Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor launched "999" as the emergency number to call with the motto, "One Nation, One Number", with the promise that such calls will be answered and vetted within 10 seconds.

This is possible because all "999" call handled by trained emergency service staff from TM centres will be channeled to the relevant agencies through a virtual network. Through sharing of information between telecommunications service providers and computer telephony interface, the emergency centres will be able to automatically identify the location of callers through the telephone numbers they call from.

So, pranksters, watch out. Your calls can be easily traced and you can be fined up to RM50,000.00 or jailed for one year, or both.

What's up in Myanmar (Burma)

I have decided to consolidate all messages I have received relating to what is happing in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.
___________________________________________________________

Stand with the Burmese Protesters

When the Burmese last marched in 1988, the military massacred thousands. But if the world stands up and supports their struggle, this time they could succeed. We'll send our petition to United Nations Security Council members (including the dictatorship's main backer China) and to media at the UN, while also alerting the Burmese to our support:

Take action now
www.Avaaz.org

Hi, have you heard about the crisis in Burma?


Burma is ruled by one of the worst military dictatorships in the world.
This week Buddhist monks and nuns began marching and chanting prayers to
call for democracy. The protests spread and hundreds of thousands of Burmese
people joined in -- they've been brutally attacked by the military regime,
but still the protests are spreading.


I just signed a petition calling on Burma's powerful ally China and the UN
security council to step in and pressure Burma's rulers to stop the killing.
The petition has exploded to over 350,000 signatures in a few days and is
being advertised in newspapers around the world, delivered to the UN
secretary general, and broadcast to the Burmese people by radio. We're
trying to get to 1 million signatures this week, please sign below and tell
everyone!


http://www.avaaz.org/en/stand_with_burma/tf.php?CLICK_TF_TRACK

Thank you for your help!

watchmyanmar sent you a video!

Hi all,

Perhaps passing this on might reach the people who matter.



After decades of military dictatorship, the people of Burma are rising – and they need our help. Marches begun by monks and nuns have snowballed, bringing hundreds of thousands to the streets. Now the crackdown has begun...
