Fraud

  This story is my uncle's. This is the one of the worst experiences in his whole life. He was cheated by a telephone con man. One day he was reading a book at home when the phone was rang. He picked it up. The swindler told to my uncle "Hi, I'm a bank clerk. Someone stole your personal information and bank account. So you should protect your money. I'll give you another bank account. You have to send your money in this account to another one." Unfortunately, my uncle is easy to believe people. He is so naive. So he came to bank with his bankbook and stamp. He never checked again. He was totally trusted him. He took out all of his money in that account and sent them another one. And then, he lost his money about $9000. He wanted to his money back. He reported this fraud to the police. But the call was called from China. So they couldn't catch a con man. There are many victims includes him. It took a long time he overcame this terrible experience. Everyone blamed on him. Also he blamed on himself, too. Clearly, he should've been careful at that time. But he learned one lesson. He is more careful now.
