Do you think this is a scam? Is there a place that can check up on scams in Hong Kong?

Question

This Hong Kong agency called me today and said that I won money from a drawing from T-mobile cell phone services. The main office is in Hong Kong but their company supposedly operate in the United States too. I am super hesitant because they need my Social security number and my bank information. My mom was aware of the drawing and she knew about this contest. We talked to the lady on the phone and she said they are a company and she would not want to lie to us. I was wondering if there's an agency I can call that can check if a company is a scam or not esp. in Hong Kong. Their website is called www.jcsan.com

I don't know if they are a scam or not. I wan to research them but they don't show up on google or online. I need the authorities to check the company. Is there a website or a number I can call to check up on them? They are in Hong Kong.

Answer 1

It's a scam anything from another country is a scam! DO NOT ever give out your ss or personal information to anyone you do not know.  That website isn't even in english. There have been a bunch of T-Mobile scam calls in the past couple months. Don't fall for it or you will be in trouble. Don't fall for any scam not just the T-Mobile ones. Check bbb.org that might help.

Answer 3

SCAM SCAM SCAM

Why would you win if you never participated? Whether the call/email/letter came from Hongkong or Nigeria, as long as they:

- tell you that you won something you never joined

- ask for your SSN

- ask for your bank account info

- ask for other personal and financial info

RUN AWAY and never ever believe them. Just don't even think about it - simply delete the email or hang up the phone.

Remember, there are no scammers if there are no suckers. Don't be one :o)
