Be Careful Of This Car Accident Scam/Ploy

This happened to my own Dept Manager, she wants this circulated to warn everyone to be careful when on the road, whether dealing with the police or otherwise.
Take care

Dear Friends,
 
I've finally got this down in writing.....
 
Be paranoid if you must be but don't trust even the Police . These are desperate times. I have a story which you should send to all your friends to warn them.
 
I was in a car accident on 15/11/2008 along the flyover coming up from the Federal Highway into Jalan Maarof, Bangsar . My car skidded and went over a road divider. When I came to a stop a few minutes later 2 Malay guys - one driving a blue Satria and the other on a bike passed my car and stopped. They looked very decent - clean cut, well dressed like they worked in an office. Both approached me and asked in perfect English whether I was ok and whether I needed help.
 
I declined of course as I had already called for help. They hovered for a while and then went off. I decided then to get out of my car to check the damage and when I got out, the 2 guys reversed and came back . At first I thought they were nice guys and just wanted to be sure I was ok. Nevertheless, I ignored them and kept a distance.
 
Then the drama unfolded. The guy driving the Satria opened his car booth and took our a pair of black pants which he then threw on the road behind my car. The motorcyclist then sat down on the divider and began to roll up his pants and took off his shoes and socks ! I saw that he had a scrapped knee which was rather red.
 
Realising then that something was very wrong, I asked the two guys while still maintaining my distance from them what they were doing . The motorcyclist then turned to me and said " You langgar saya tak payah bayar?" I was shocked and told them no such thing happened and why they were doing this. The guy then said " Awak jangan biadap, sudah langgar saya nak marah saya !!"
 
I quickly went back into my car and called the police. Call this Bukit Aman No. (03-22626555) - the response is fast. While waiting for help to arrive I kept praying for protection. The Police came within 5 minutes.
 
BUT, you know, the police whom I thought were my heros also turned out to be crooks.
 
The 2 officers approached me and asked me what happened. while I related to them what happened one of them went to speak to the 2 guys who were still hovering around at the back of my car. 

The remaining cop asked me "Sekarang macam mana?"

I said there was no way I could have knocked them as there was no evidence of damage to their vehicles or injury on them. The cop then asked me "Kerja di mana?"

I told them I worked in a Bank and he said " Wah jadi you banyak wang!!!"

Although on hindsight now it was a strange thing to say (at that pt they were still my heroes) to which I responded that I am only a worker , I don't own the Bank so I don't have money ! He then walked to his partner and came back a few moments later and said to me " The guy claims I broke the side mirror of his car" He asked again "sekarang nak buat apa ?"
 
At this pt I was furious and told him that we should all go to the Balai  to make our repsective reports. He kept quiet at my response . I then blurted out some names of ex-Bkt  Aman Inspectors whom I happen to know and then he went to talk again to his partner and the next thing that happened, the 2 guys accusing me left the scene.
 
I was just overcome with relief by then my family had arrived to help. Little did I realise until much later that the 2 corrupt cops were in
cohorts with the 2 malay boys to extort some money from me. They let them go without my consent, did not even record their details or vehicle reg nos. Nothing !!!
 
Imagine the cops who are supposed to protect you are as dirty and corrupted as the crooks roaming our town !!!!

Abdullah Badawi whose mission before he leaves his position says he wants to curb crime in the country and eradicate corruption should go dig out the shit in his garden first.
 
What an experience but God is good.

why the dept. manager never made a police report? why never publicise and highlight to the press? why must such uncommon scams and stories always be written in such a hush-hush way with no real name and identities? if they are scared, scared of what? people who have been raped and physically assaulted are not scare to make police report , why should they be scared? i hate this kind of fooking unsubstantiated story which create all kind of irrational and unjustified fear among the public...
