Photographer Has Camera Lens Stolen From Around His Neck

The video of the camera lens thieves in action was taken in Saint-Petersburg (Russia). The thieves would target passers-by while the police are unable to stop them.

The thieves work together. One of them will shove something in front of the camera's owner, hiding the camera and lens from his sight. Then, another team-mate will take the chance to remove and steal the lens.

Do take note that similar plot can be happening in other countries as well, and they may not necessary target only camera lenses.

Do not show off your valuable. When travelling, always try to go in pair.

Crime Advisory - "Police Bail" Phone Scam

From Singapore Police Force Fan Page:

The Police would like to remind the public to be vigilant against scams as criminals are coming up with more innovative ways to cheat unsuspecting victims. Police have received reports on the “police bail” phone scam recently.

In this scam, the victims received calls purportedly from China, with the “+86”country code. The caller would claim to be the victim’s friend and allege that he had been arrested by police while in China. The scammer would then ask the victim to transfer a sum of money to pay the bail or fines for his release. Victims who acceded to the scammer’s request would eventually discover that it was a scam after establishing contact with their friends. Thus far, victims have transferred sums ranging from $800 to $16,000 to a bank account in China.

Police would like to remind members of public to be vigilant against such scams, and to adopt the following crime prevention measures:

- Inform the Police immediately if anyone attempts to extort or ask money from you;

- Be wary of messages or calls from unknown people who want to befriend you;

- Do not remit or transfer money to people whom you do not know well enough. The criminal may spend months building rapport with you before asking for money;

- Do not give personal details about yourself or friends when interacting with unknown persons over the phone; and

- If you receive any message or call from anyone claiming he/she is in some kind of trouble overseas and need you to urgently send money over, you should report the matter to Police and not transfer the money.

If you have any information related to this crime, do not hesitate to call the Police hotline at 1800-255 0000 or 999 for urgent Police assistance.

Twitter Account Spamming for Yahoo IDs

This spam Twitter account has caught our attention. It seems to be automatically mentioning other users the exact same tweet, except that there are various Yahoo IDs that are being randomly generated from a list.

@YOUR_TWITTER_USERNAME Random but my friend Adriana seen your pics, is her yahoo name add her online she thinks your hot

The scammer has made it too obvious for dumb Twitter users to fall into the trick as once you open his/her page, you can see similar tweets for other users. How many female friends do this "person" has who, at the same period of time, happen to think so many Twitter users are hot and willing to share with him/her?

We have no idea what is the scam about but it definitely is seeking all potential victims to email or add the "babe" in Yahoo Messenger.

Anyway, some of the Yahoo IDs listed are of following:

stimulating890babe
bieber72chick
adri18stunning
sugar2audriana91
angel89adriana
beach7983babe
animatedadriana826
bad1660female

cute50adriana
bieber26chick
adriana5537ocean
bad1660female
sweet8944sexy
erotic35chick
adrianalove4999
pinkforever11girl

Note that there are some similarities in the user IDs. The Yahoo accounts could be created via certain software that has managed to break into Yahoo's registration spam protection.

We hope this has helped to broaden your skill in exposing fake Twitter accounts.
