Clever way to be conned. Be careful, read this.

WooAaHH!! Thank you so much for the BR nanajanet Hug,.. I didn't think i can win but somehow i do this prevent from home. Exactly. many things happen befor that,.. when i was at high school my watch been stolen when i wear it I remember it was casio. and my mom when she traveling with my dad, inside metro mini ( kind of mini bus city to city) someone has enter his hand at her bag! and my dad stop him. Still scarry though... One more story of rubering into my life, is when i finish walking from book store at the mall i enter the mini bus to go home, i sit in the corner. with my heavy jaket that have secret pocket inside. I was the only girl there that not fancy. Maybe look more poor than the others, i remember not a drop of powder before i go to the mall even check my face in the mirror. Iwas so tomboy. Everyone there have "bling-bling" and cell phone outside. dresses so nice but un save. Then 3 young man come inside and rob all the girls accept ask to me. cause i look have nothing and maybe poor and naive so they spare me? one of the girl yelling and have one cheek bleeding by his knife. I was unbelievably protected thanks God. They jump into a bride behind the mall. And the driver took us to the police station. I called my dad that i was in the police station, an he wasn't worry at all. He said , if you finish, just take the becak and go home. I want my dad to pay attention to me that time i remember... i just can't steal him from what ever he was doing, stil. But i know he love me hats the mather right? From all clips, my mind tell me to be careful. And now im alone at Bali. got friend but far,.. i live in the roof of a hotel at kuta beach with a cute dog,.. I got to protect my self. From bad man and robber too. I even prevent sexy dresses too. I just wan to be safe.. of I scare away people?

I carry my ATM card but I also have all the items, that I carry in my wallet, photocopied, front and back, in case they are lost and stolen. I have a copy in my safe, my sister has a copy, a copy on my computer and one in my saved email, so I can retrieve it from anywhere in the world. When I travel, I keep a copy me, and my husband carries a copy.

I'm glad it didn't happen to you although sad it even happens to anyone. Hope you don't mind, but I copied your post and sent it to my family in an email. My mom had her purse stolen at a gas station 2 years ago. Thank you again for letting us know about yet another scam/con going on. I hate that people would rather spend time thinking up ways to con innocent people out of money when they could just go out and get a JOB! Thanks Nana

The funny thing is that they think of it first!! It's amazing how smart these crooks are. Imagine if they used their skills for doing good, huh?
