Today afternoon at about 2pm, there was a fishy call. Both my mum and I felt that it might be a phone call to con people. Anyway, below is what happened.
My mum said the caller was a boy who seemed to be sobbing badly and crying for help (in chinese). Sound quite real actually.
Boy cried: 妈！妈！快点来救我！我被人抓了！快点来救我！
My mum: 妈你的头！不要乱乱叫！你不用来骗我！
Well, my mum had that reaction because she doesn't have a son and I am her only child. Furthermore, I was home at that time but that doesn't meant that it was fake. It might have been real and the boy keyed in the wrong number due to panic.
Well, if it was real, even if the boy called the wrong number to seek help from his mother, he would have continued to cry and beg for help. Yet that did not happened. Instead, he kept quiet immediately at my mum's reply and immediately hung up.
Told my uncles and they said that my mum maybe should have asked what happened and said she would help contact the police. My mum also went to inform our neighbour just now as she does have a son who is just in Secondary 1. This was to alert her in case she received such call.
Just now, I checked the phone caller ID to check if there was any number from the phone call. Yet, the last record was yesterday's as there were no other call today. There was not even a record for that call stating a private number, no number or local number or number from overseas. I checked on the 2 phones' caller ID record in my house and both have the same result. That is why I said that call was very fishy especially nowadays there seemed to have an increase of con-man.
My advice was to stay calm, ask or say something to clear your doubts and confirm how true the situations is rather than believing it straight from the start.
