I just got back from my KL trip this morning, when Hubby told me that he was visited by a Filipino family on Sun evening (Hubby didnt go on the KL trip cos he was still suffering from his slip disc and couldnt walk properly, plus he's on MC so cant leave the house!).
Although the Filipinos are our neighbours from the 14th floor (we stay on the 15th), we do not really know them (although Hubby claimed that he had seen them in the lifts previously). Anyway, they asked Hubby whether his wife (me) is pregnant. To which, Hubby said, "Yes". The Filipino lady then said that a pregnant woman, claiming to be staying at our unit went to their house on Sat night and wanted to borrow money to see the doctor. The pregnant woman also said that her "hubby" was working in the afternoon shift and hence she couldnt get the money from "him". The pregnant conwoman took $40 not only from the Filipino family but also from an Indian family on the same floor!
My surprised Hubby told the Filipinos that I was away in KL and will only be back today and showed our wedding photo. After looking at the photo, the Filipinos realised that they had been duped cos' the conwoman looked more Malay-ish and didnt look like me at all. The family said that they were going to make a police report.
I am so angry that someone would use my identity and address to con my neighbours! How dare that woman!! I hope she didnt dupe anyone else and I certainly hope no one else comes forward to try to claim money from us!!! Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh..................
Moral of the story: Get to know thy neighours so thy wont be conned!
