Gratitude Journal - 13th - 16th January 2019

Today, I had a very instructive, but briefly hair-raising, experience where I went quite far along a crime syndicate's scam to convince me to transfer my funds into their account(allegedly under Bank Negara) because I was a supposed suspect in money laundering activities.

Once the very rude & vulgar 'police officer' got to that stage, which I recognised to be the final stage any victim would drive the final nail into their own monetary loss, I ended the call with a vulgar expletive at the conman in the guise of a police officer!

This experience was very instructive because I realised later that I went along at the beginning only because I had feared after I lost my identity card in 2016 that it would be misused for obtaining loans illegally etc.

Now I'm grateful to know that :

i) I am not as sharp as I thought I was about scams because I couldn't recognise the telltale signs at the beginning(no previous letter of formal demand, the fishing for my I/C number in order to get my name etc)


ii) I am indeed uninvolved with any illegal borrowing or money laundering where I was a hapless victim!


I am also mindfully thankful for the lunch treat from my mum today and also the 3,697th day of rent-free living, on top of the gems of wisdom gleaned from binge-watching of Abraham Hicks videos! =)
