A Middle East man trying to cheat....

4 years ago at Damansara Height, Kuala Lumpur on 06 May 2009 reported by ck

I was in a car with my colleague when this Middle East man came to approach me. He is slim and tall, maybe about 180cm height. He came down from his car and told me he need to exchange $100 to 2xRM50 for collection. Out of good deed, I agreed for the exchange. I pull out two RM50 notes from my wallet, but then he said his Rm50 note got a signature at the corner and wondering do I have any of the same. After checking all Rm2k notes in my wallet i can't find any. This man want to have a look of my wallet when i told him i dont have any of that.

He keep telling me he just want to have a look, he will not run away with my wallet cos he is a rich guy and even show me his wallet filled with a stack of US dollars and show me his family in the car (a man, a woman and 2 kids). He leave his wallet on my car and insist me to show him all the RM50 notes in my wallet. While talking he was trying to snatch my wallet, this really pissed me off. At last i ask him to get lost from my way.

I guess this is the new tactic to snatch $$. So please be careful if you encounter the same approach.
