Arrived HK on (Sun)23 May.
Rang pick-up van by using Free phone.
Soon realised there's a problem.
Forgot to ask Van's Registration No.
And the pick-up point.
Then, a Bigger Problem.
Couldn't go back for Free Phone.
Had NO HK Mobile phone with me.
Had NO HK money with me.
Had to try to persuade HKese,
Waiting at pick-up zone to,
Lend me their phone for 1 Urgent call.
Told them the reasons.
Told them I would pay for the call,
With OZ Money.
1st one.
A 20+ man.
"NO. I can't let you use my phone,
I'm waiting for my boss's call"
Told him I only needed 30 seconds.
Still "No."
2nd one.
A 40+ airport traffic control woman.
"There's a public phone over there"
Reminded I'd pay her in OZ money again.
She just walked away.
Found public phone.
Yes. At last.
But NOT accepting credit card!!
Then, suddenly found a HK$10 Note!
In my pocket!
Got change from nearby 60+ elderly.
Made the call. Got the van man.
A Happy Ending - by 2245 hrs!
Got Confused.
If people worry about me running away...
With their mobile phone,
Why do they NOT worry others would...
run away with their Hard Earned Cash?
Or even Life Time Saving?
Not just a few thousand $$$,
But hundred of thousands $$$,
Or even millions of $$$??
By these Faked Experts?
Is it because these Cheaters are...
Wearing Expansive Clothings/Watches?
Sitting in an Seaviewed Office?
Writing some Financial Articles?
Appearing on TV Programmes?
Or....
Why there is SO MUCH TRUST on someone..
That you've NEVER met before?
That you've NEVER tested before?
Remember,
In these ever Changing World,
Trust NOONE except your Family.

Hi Fate,
I am so sorry to see your experience in the HK Airport. I am one of the person have a similar experience few year ago. Mobile run out of battery, and forgot to bring my wallet with me!!!
Anyway, at that time I already expected it would be very difficult someone would kindly lend me their phone. Personally, if someone asks me the same question I don't think I would lend them as well. At most I may give them a dollar or I would point them to see a policeman instead.
There are so many cheaters in HK, few story happened is about lending phone. One of them is when a person lend the phone to the other and then the gangster behide you stolen your wallet, another incident is after your phone return back. I think they have put some kind of medicine in the phone that make you feel dizzy and then hijack you once you reuse your phone… etc
Sometime I feel sorry to see the society act like that, those people just break our trust between people. Make it harder and harder to build relationship between people.
Regards,
Simon
Hi Simon
Thanks for your Sharing.
It's a good thing that people are Cautious.
But the bad thing is,
Most people Cautious only on Minor issues and Careless on Major issues!
Cheers
Fate
