I read with disbelieve a Malay gossip paper, Kosmo, about a man who was put in a trance through a phone call, headed to the ATM and transferred almost MYR3000 to another person.
I don't know how true this is, though a police report has been made, but previously, my aunt did tell me about stories like this, where people would do something in trance-like just from receiving a phone call, which she has read in Chinese papers. You know how exaggerating Chinese vernacular papers could be.
In this case that was reported in Kosmo, the victim lost MYR2999 (odd amount) to the caller, a woman who identified as a staff of Bank Negara. She explained that his credit card had been swiped in Singapore for a charge of MYR7500 and told him to change the PIN, guiding him on what to press at the machine.
Before he knew it, he has lost money. How strange!
