Beware of voice message from "Malaysia High Court"

No body wants to get in trouble. How you will do if you received a phone call from Malaysia High Court? If you are the one so 'lucky' to pick up a call which is a voice message call from Malaysia High Court, I am now warn you to hang up the phone directly. Here is a forwarded email wrote by the case victim on 18.05.07:

I am writing this e-mail to warn all of you. This is what happen to me on 18th may 2007 at 10.00am. The phone rang and I answer, a voice message stated that the call is from the Malaysian High Court mentioning that i have a case to attend at the KL High Court. Rather curious of what sort of case I have, so i press 9 to talk to the operator.

The operator speaks very ' slow English ' if you know what I mean. She insists that I must give her my name and IC no. in order for her to check what sort of case I have. I hold on for a few seconds and she asks me if that is really my IC no. I confirmed and she also confirmed that I have a case to attend. She says that she will fax the document over to Bukit Aman Police station and the officer will call me in 3 minutes. So I hung up, through enough I received the call less than 2 minutes.

He announced himself as Yeoh Long Wah from Bukit Aman police station. He asks me a lot of questions and say the criminal have use my IC detail to open bank account in Maybank and Public Bank in Negeri Sembilan. He then asks me whether I have a bank account in Maybank and Public Bank. I told him that I have a Public Bank a/c. He says that I have to answer his questions honestly so that he can help me with my case. The questions he ask like have you lost your IC before, did you hand over your IC to anybody for documentaion and how much money you have in your a/c. I told him I cannot reveal the amount in my account and that I will
meet him in Bukit Aman police station. He says fine and meets him before 4pm and gave me the phone no 03-77826222.

I rang my lawyer and ask for advice. She asks me to fix the appointment with the so call police on Sat or Monday since today is Friday and mosque day. I called the no 77826222 and the police answer telling me that this is not Bukit Aman police station but police station in Old Klang Road. I told the police the problem and he told me to launch a police report in Subang Jaya police station because they have been receiving a lot of these calls from people.

I went to Public Bank to freeze all my a/c for the time being. I am sharing all these with you so that you will not go through the trauma I went through.

I am wondering if the victim not aware about the serious of the case, what happen will be the next. This is to advise you all, anything pertaining to legal cases, please do contact and get advise from your lawyer before you take any further action.
