修女也性侵 愛爾蘭教會醜聞無人聞問
(法新社都 柏林 26日電) 愛爾蘭 天主教會性侵醜聞曝光,動搖教會根本。1名率先挺身而出的受害者,至今仍能憶起童年時代受虐的驚恐心情。
陶艾爾(Paddy Doyle)4歲被送到教會學校,自此受到嚴重侵害,直到38歲才有辦法跟人談起過去的恐怖經驗。
他接受法新社訪問,被問到為何普遍發生在愛爾蘭各地的這些虐待情況得以持續如此之久,他回憶道:「若透露任何一點事情,都會受到嚴厲懲罰。」
當年陶艾爾的母親因為癌症過世,父親接著又在他和2歲妹妹面前上吊身亡。愛爾蘭司法制度在1955年認定他「沒有適當監護人」。他被送到如今惡名昭彰的聖邁可孤兒院(St Michael's Industrial School),受到嚴重虐待和性侵。
他說:「他們是殘忍的施虐者,我們作夢都沒想過要說出去。你可能會因此沒飯吃,或是斷絕和其他孩子的互動。」
「因此你只能逆來順受。所有的孩子都未滿10歲,情況真的很糟。」
回想起天主教會在愛爾蘭的全盛時期,他說:「大家都噤聲不語。整個國家都是宗教掛帥:學校、醫院,有些人甚至說政府也是如此。」
「教會統管一切,幾乎決定所有事情。當時沒有非天主教經營的學校。」
「事實上,在20年前,若是學校董事會成員沒有教會人士,就無法開辦。」
陶艾爾隨即罹患1種叫做肌張力障礙(dystonia)的嚴重神經障礙疾病。他被送到多所教會醫院,接受他所謂的「手術實驗」。
他說:「我走著進去,出來時坐著輪椅。」他的雙腿再也沒有恢復行走能力。
當陶艾爾終於感到有能力揭露發生在自己身上的事情時,他擔心別人會怎麼反應。他回憶道:「我坐在電腦前面,跟它說:『我想要告訴你一些事』,它沒有回答。」
最終他將所有苦痛磨難寫成The God Squad一書。
他聯繫的第1家出版商「說這本書很棒,但是要出版太冒險了」,但另1家獨立書商願意冒險,此書在1990年正式問世。
最初反應很平淡。他說:「大家都充耳不聞。愛爾蘭人心理上不想相信。」
人們似乎更有不相信的理由,因為陶艾爾在書中披露的侵害者並非男人,而是經營學校的修女。
他說:「很多人不敢相信女人也會施虐。」
陶艾爾的書不僅大賣,他還在書中教導受虐者如何克服恐懼。
政府隨後展開一系列調查,1950到1970年代許多教會機構有不同程度的施虐情形,教會也同謀掩蓋事實的整起真相才得以水落石出。(譯者:中央社戴雅真)990426

南非發現190萬年前人類骨骼化石印證進化論
2010-04-09
科學家在南非發現一百九十萬年前的人類骨骼化石,研究後認為這兩具化石的體型特徵處於古猿和現代人類的過渡階段,印證達爾文的進化論,有助解開人類進化之謎。
南非斯泰克方丹化石遺址有人類搖籃之稱,零八年八月在這裡出土的兩具人類骨骼化石是一男一女,估計男的是八至九歲的少年,女的大約是三十歲的成年人,但同樣只有一點二七米高,即大約高於一道門的門鎖位一點,生活在一百七十八萬至一百九十五萬年前,科學家估計他們差不多同時死亡,埋了在雪崩沉積物下面亦是至今發現保存得最完整的原始人類骸骨。
科學家將其所屬物種命名為南方古猿源泉種,特別的地方是跟古猿的身體特徵有很多相似的地方,少年男子的頭骨有猿和人的混合特徵,例如頭部很小,大腦只是比南方古猿大一點,還有突出的鼻子、凹陷的顴骨,相對較小的臼齒。另外他們的手臂較長和彎曲顯示善於爬樹,亦開始有站直起來行路的能力,甚至懂得奔跑。
以上種種的特徵印證了達爾文的進化論,即是人類是由猿慢慢進化,由在地下爬行至站起來用雙腳走路,腦部增大,演化成現代有智慧的人類。這兩副人類骸骨正正處於三百九十萬年前的南方古猿和現代人類的過渡階段,亦填補了人類進化史的空白。
不過,有古人類學家質疑靠一具還在發育的少年骸骨推論整個人類進化過程,理論基礎可能不夠穩妥。

用 NLP 洗腦 - NLP 內容
語言影響我們如何思考,行動,反應,感受。例如,一位行政人員在明天之前要做一個非常重要的決定。但他對這個決定信心不是很大,在他的大腦內無意識地出現類似的說話:"真係唔知點做" "真系唔係咁容易"! 事實上,他習慣地透過這些說話使他大腦內的神經網絡封閉。透過 NLP 的訓練,他建立了完全不同的內向溝通程式,他會自然地問自己 "我需要知道什麼資料才能做這個決定"? "可以有什麼不同的選擇?" "如果這個決定最終導致失敗,會出現在什麼地方等......" 這些問題能夠開啟他大腦內新的神經網絡,使他更快找出答案。我們透過五官眼,耳,鼻,舌,身,攝取外界訊息,NLP 學者發現人類透過大腦內的心智模式 (Mental Model) ,把信念,價值,規條進行刪減,扭曲,一般化等程序而成為我們描述外界事物的語言。故此,受過訓練的 NLP 執行師能夠從對方的說話了解他的心智模式,從而有效進行輔導影響別人,改變對方信念。
NLP 提供系統化的語言工具達致上述效果包括:
a. 檢定語言模式 (Meta Model)
是 NLP 最重要的技巧之一,是由 NLP 創始人李察‧賓達拉 (Richard Bandler) 和約翰,葛瑞德(John Grinder) 在 1975年發展出來的一套語言技巧。他們透過模仿完形治療法 (Gestalt Therapy) 創始人費茲士.波爾士 (Fritz Perls) 及家庭治療大師 (Family Therapy) 維珍尼亞沙維雅 (Virginia Satir) 在治療過程當中的發問方式從受導者口中得悉對方的內心世界的運作。同時他們有另外一套的發問方式,令受導者重組他們的心智模式,從而改變對方的心態及行為。運用檢定語言模式在自己身上面,能夠使思考更清晰,有效地修正自己的心智模式,從而更容易解決問題消除困擾。
b. 巧妙回應話術 (Sleight of mouth)
這套語言技巧是由 NLP University Dr. Robert Dilts 發展出來的。他發現人類歷史中出現的偉大領袖,智者,包括耶穌,甘地,馬克思等,均能透過語言展現出非凡的說服能力,改變世界的固有信念。Dr. Robert Dilts 發現他們都有一些共通的語言模式。他透過觀察及模仿整理出一套獨特的語言技巧,能夠在短時間之內改變對方的信念。大大加強說服能力。
c. 其他語言技巧包括米爾頓語言模式(Milton Model), 換框法(Reframming),正面詞語(Positive Wordings)等。
4. NLP 的前提假設
NLP的理論及技巧建築在以下的前題假設(NLP Presupppositions)上 :
1. 沒有兩個人是一樣的。
No two persons are the same.
2. 一個人不能控制另外一個人。
One person cannot change another person.
3. 有效用比有道理更重要。
Usefulness is more important.
4. 只有由感官經驗塑造出來的世界,沒有絕對的真實世界。
The map is not the territory.
5. 溝通的意義決定於對方的回應。
The meaning of communication is the response one
gets.
6. 重複舊的做法,只會得到舊的結果。
Repeating the same behavior will repeat the same result.
7. 凡事必有至少三個解決方法。
There are at least three solutions to every situation.
8. 每人都選擇給自己最佳利益的行為。
Every one chooses the best behavior at the moment.
9. 每人都已經具備使自己成功快樂的資源。
Every one already possesses all the resources needed.
10. 在任何一個系統裡,最靈活的部份便是最能影響大局的部份。
In any system, the most flexible person has the control.
11. 沒有挫敗,只有回應訊息。
There is no failure, only feedback.
12. 動機和情緒總不會錯,只是行為沒有效果而已。
Intentions and emotions are never wrong, only the behavior has not been effective.
13. 有選擇總比沒有選擇好。
Choice is better than no choice.
14. (心靈焦點的力量) 你所注視的地方會給予能量, 無論這個地方是負面或者是正面。
(The law of mind focus) Where your mind focus, where you give energy.
Extract from : wikipedia
Neuro-linguistic programming
NLP originated when Richard Bandler, a student at University of California, Santa Cruz, was listening to and selecting portions of taped therapy sessions of the late Gestalt therapist Fritz Perls as a project for Robert Spitzer.[17][18] Bandler believed he recognized particular word and sentence structures which facilitated the acceptance of Perls' therapeutic suggestions. Bandler took this idea to one of his university lecturers, John Grinder, a linguist. Together they studied Perls's utterances on tape and observed a second therapist Virginia Satir to produce what they termed the meta model, a model for gathering information and challenging a client's language and underlying thinking.[19]
The meta model was presented in 1975 in two volumes, The Structure of Magic I: A Book About Language and Therapy and The Structure of Magic II: A Book About Communication and Change, in which the authors expressed their belief that the therapeutic "magic" as performed in therapy by Perls and Satir, and by performers in any complex human activity, had structure that could be learned by others given the appropriate models. They believed that implicit in the behavior of Perls and Satir was the ability to challenge distortion, generalization and deletion in a client's language. The linguistic aspects were based in part on previous work by Grinder using Noam Chomsky's transformational grammar.[20]
Challenging linguistic distortions, specifying generalizations, and recovery of deleted information in the client utterances, the surface structure, was supposed to yield a more complete representation of the underlying deep structure, and to have therapeutic benefit.[21] They drew ideas from Gregory Bateson and Alfred Korzybski, particularly about human modeling and ideas associated with their expression, "the map is not the territory".[22][23]
Satir and Bateson each agreed to write a preface to Bandler and Grinder's first book. Bateson also introduced the pair to Milton Erickson who became their third model. Erickson also wrote a preface to Bandler and Grinder's two-volume book series based on their observations of Erickson working with clients, Patterns of the Hypnotic Techniques of Milton H. Erickson, Volumes I & II.[24] These volumes also focused on the language patterns and some non-verbal patterns that Bandler and Grinder believed they observed in Erickson. While the meta model is intentionally specific, the Milton model was described as "artfully vague" and metaphoric; the inverse of the meta model. It was used in combination with the meta model as a softener, to induce trance, and to deliver indirect therapeutic suggestion. In addition to the first two models, Bandler, Grinder and a group of students who joined them during the early period of development of NLP, proposed other models and techniques, such as anchoring, reframing, submodalities, perceptual positions, and representational systems.
At the time, the human potential movement was developing into an industry; at the centre of this growth was the Esalen Institute at Big Sur, California. Perls had led numerous Gestalt therapy seminars at Esalen. Satir was an early leader and Bateson was a guest teacher. Bandler and Grinder claimed that in addition to being a therapeutic method, NLP was also a study of communication, and by the late 1970s Grinder and Bandler were marketing it as a business tool, claiming that "if any human being can do anything, so can you". After 150 students paid $1,000 each for a ten-day workshop in Santa Cruz, California, Bandler and Grinder gave up academic writing and produced popular books from seminar transcripts, such as Frogs into Princes, which sold more than 270,000 copies. According to court documents, Bandler's NLP business made more than $800,000 in 1980.[19]
[edit] Applications
[edit] Psychotherapeutic
The early books about NLP had a psychotherapeutic focus especially given that the early models were psychotherapists. As an approach to psychotherapy, NLP shares similar core assumptions and foundations in common with some contemporary brief and systemic practices,[25][26][27] such as solution focused brief therapy.[28][29] NLP has also been acknowledged as having influenced these practices[27][30] with its reframing techniques[31][32] which seeks to achieve behaviour change by shifting its context or meaning,[33] for example, by finding the positive connotation of a thought or behaviour.
The two main therapeutic uses of NLP are: (1) use as an adjunct by therapists[34] practicing in other therapeutic disciplines, and (2) as a specific therapy called Neurolinguistic Psychotherapy[35] which is recognized by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy[36] with accreditation governed at first by the Association for Neuro Linguistic Programming[37] and more recently by its daughter organization the Neuro Linguistic Psychotherapy and Counselling Association.[38]
[edit] Other uses
While the original goals of neuro-linguistic programming were therapeutic, the patterns have also been adapted for use outside psychotherapy for interpersonal communications and persuasion including business communication, management training,[39] sales,[40] sports,[41] and interpersonal influence,[42] used for coaching, team building, public speaking, negotiation,[43] and communication. The UK Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development includes a number of NLP courses including an application of NLP to coaching in its 2010 training programme.[44] A range of books have been published related to the application of NLP to coaching.[45]
[edit] Criticism and controversy
[edit] Empirical validity
In the early 1980s, NLP was hailed as an important advance in psychotherapy and counseling,[46] and attracted some interest in counseling research and clinical psychology. In the mid-1980s, reviews in The Journal of Counseling Psychology[47] and by the National Research Council (1988; NRC) committee[42] found little or no empirical basis for the claims about preferred representational systems (PRS) or assumptions of NLP. In an article published in 2005, psychologist Grant Devilly stated that at the time it was introduced, NLP was heralded as a breakthrough in therapy, and advertisements for training workshops, videos and books began to appear in trade magazines. The workshops provided certification. However, controlled studies shed such a poor light on the practice, and those promoting the intervention made such extreme and changeable claims that researchers began to question the wisdom of researching the area further.[46]
The experimental research that does exist was mostly done in the 1980s and 1990s, and on the whole was unsupportive of the central assumptions and core models of NLP.[citation needed] It consisted of laboratory experimentation testing Bandler and Grinder's hypotheses[48] that a person's preferred sensory mode of thinking can be revealed by observing eye movement cues and sensory predicates in language use.[43] A research review conducted by Christopher Sharpley which focused on preferred representational systems, in 1984,[49] followed by another review in 1987 in response to a critique published by Einspruch and Forman,[50] concluded that there was little evidence for its usefulness as an effective counseling tool. Reviewing the literature in 1988, Michael Heap also concluded that objective and fair investigations had shown no support for NLP claims about "preferred representational systems".[14]
A research committee[42] working for the United States National Research Council led by Daniel Druckman came to two conclusions. First, the committee "found little if any" evidence to support NLP's assumptions or to indicate that it is effective as a strategy for social influence. "It assumes that by tracking another's eye movements and language, an NLP trainer can shape the person's thoughts, feelings, and opinions (Dilts, 1983[51]). There is no scientific support for these assumptions."[52] Secondly, the committee members "were impressed with the modeling approach used to develop the technique. The technique was developed from careful observations of the way three master psychotherapists conducted their sessions, emphasizing imitation of verbal and nonverbal behaviors... This then led the committee to take up the topic of expert modeling in the second phase of its work."(Druckman, 2004)[52] Von Bergen et al. (1997) state that "the most telling commentary on NLP may be that the latest revision of his text on enhancing human performance, Druckman (Druckman & Bjork 1991) omitted all reference to Neurolinguistic Programming."[53] These studies, in particular Sharpley's literature review, marked a decline in empirical research of NLP, and particularly in matching sensory predicates and its use in counsellor-client relationship in counseling psychology.
NLP practitioners and academics Tosey and Mathison have argued that the experimental approach is not always appropriate for researching NLP, instead proposing that NLP should be researched phenomenologically.[54][55] Gareth Roderique-Davies (2009) stated that "Phenomenological research is free from hypotheses, pre-conceptions and assumptions, and seeks to describe rather than explain. Given the claims made by proponents of NLP, this adds little to the credibility debate and would produce reports concerning the experience from the perspective of the individual rather than confirmation of the claimed efficacy. The fact remains that NLP proponents make specific claims about how NLP works and what it can do and this compels providing evidence to substantiate these claims." He argued that the proposal to conduct phenomenology research using NLP modeling "constitutes an admission that NLP does not have an evidence base and that NLP practitioners are seeking a post-hoc credibility."[56]
[edit] Scientific criticism
See also: NLP and science
Michael Corballis (1999) stated that "NLP is a thoroughly fake title, designed to give the impression of scientific respectability".[57] NLP adapted many scientific sounding terms, such as eye accessing cues, metamodeling, micromodeling, metaprogramming, neurological levels, presuppositions, representational systems, and submodalities, which Barry Beyerstein wrote was intended to obfuscate and to give the impression of a scientific discipline.[58] According to Canadian skeptic Beyerstein (1995) "though it claims neuroscience in its pedigree, NLP's outmoded view of the relationship between cognitive style and brain function ultimately boils down to crude analogies."[59] According to Efran and Lukens (1990), claiming that "original interest in NLP turned to disillusionment after the research and now it is rarely even mentioned in psychotherapy"(p. 122).[60]
Heap states that generalizations about the mind and behavior, such as those purported by NLP proponents, can only be arrived at through prolonged, systematic, and meticulous investigation of human subjects using empirical procedures. Heap (1988) stated "There is just no other way of doing this". In general, authors in the field of NLP have rarely expressed an interest in providing a coherent theory; instead, they often state their primary aim in modeling "what works". They also claim there is ample evidence for NLP as an eclectic approach drawing from existing "cognitive-behavioral approaches, Gestalt therapy, hypnotherapy, family therapy, and brief therapy.[61]
John Grinder offers a counterexample arguing in retrospect that the meta-model, for example, drew from his expertise in transformational grammar and empirical work in collaboration with Bandler between 1973 and 1975.[23] Tosey and Mathison state "the pragmatic and often anti-theoretical stance by the founders has left a legacy of little engagement between practitioner and academic communities".[43][62]
Norcross et al. (2006) conducted a Delphi poll of American doctoral-level mental health professionals and academics in psychology and psychotherapy in which 73.3% of respondents reported that they were familiar with NLP as an approach and, on average, rated NLP for the treatment of mental and behavioral disorders between possibly and probably discredited. The ratings given by psychologists from the cognitive and behavioral orientations were significantly less favourable towards NLP than those from the humanistic and psychodynamic orientations.[63] A follow-up study by Norcross et al. (2008) found that NLP for the treatment of drug addiction was rated as among the top ten most discredited of the interventions included in the study.[64]
[edit] Intellectual property disputes
In the 1980s, shortly after publishing Neuro-Linguistic Programming: Volume I[65] with Robert Dilts and Judith Delozier, Grinder and Bandler fell out. Amidst acrimony and intellectual property lawsuits, the NLP brand was adopted by other training organizations.[42] Some time afterwards, John Grinder collaborated with various people to develop a form of NLP called the New Code of NLP which claimed to restore a whole mind-body systemic approach to NLP[23][66] Richard Bandler also published new processes based on submodalities and Ericksonian hypnosis.[67]
In July 1996, after many years of legal controversy, Bandler filed a lawsuit against John Grinder and others, claiming retrospective sole ownership of NLP, and also the sole right to use the term under trademark.[68][69] At the same time, Tony Clarkson (a UK practitioner) successfully asked the UK High Court to revoke Bandler's UK registered trademark of "NLP", in order to clarify legally that "NLP" was a generic term rather than intellectual property.[70]
Despite the NLP community's being splintered, most NLP material acknowledges the early work of co-founders Bandler and Grinder, as well as the development group that surrounded them in the 1970s. In June 2001, the lawsuits were settled with Bandler and Grinder agreeing to be known as co-founders of NLP.[citation needed]
[edit] Practitioner standards
Since 1978, a 20-day NLP practitioner certification program had been in existence for training therapists to apply NLP as an adjunct to their professional qualifications. As NLP evolved, and the applications began to be extended beyond therapy, new ways of training were developed and the course structures and design changed. Course lengths and style vary from institute to institute. In the 1990s, following attempts to put NLP on a regulated footing in the UK, other governments began certifying NLP courses and providers; for example, in Australia, a Graduate Certificate in Neuro-linguistic programming is accredited under the Australian Qualifications Framework.[71] However, NLP continues to be an open field of training with no "official" best practice. With different authors, individual trainers and practitioners having developed their own methods, concepts and labels, often branding them as "NLP",[72] the training standards and quality differ greatly.[73] The multiplicity and general lack of controls has led to difficulty discerning the comparative level of competence, skill and attitude in different NLP trainings. According to Peter Schütz, the length of training in Europe varies from 2–3 days for the hobbyist to 35–40 days over at least nine months to achieve a professional level of competence.[73]
In Europe, the European NLP therapy association has been promoting its training in line with European therapy standards.
In 2001, neuro-linguistic psychotherapy, a derivative of NLP, was recognized by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy as an experimental constructivist form of psychotherapy.[74]
Today, there are many competing organisations offering varying forms of NLP training and certification in what can be a lucrative business. The Guardian reported that in 2006 that a seven day course by Paul McKenna's company for 600 delegates produced £1m of revenue.[75] Many variants of the practice are found in seminars, workshops, books and audio programs in the form of exercises and principles intended to influence behavioral and emotional change in self and others. There is great variation in the depth and breadth of training and standards of practitioners, and some disagreement between those in the field about which patterns are, or are not, "NLP".[47][76]

懷疑偽冒公司「綜藝社群」與「The Purple beauty & Spa」關係
一間名叫「綜藝社群」的公司,懷疑聯同「The Purple Beauty & Spa」之美容公司聯繫,多名受害者表示該公司將受害者介紹至「The Purple beauty & Spa」,該美容公司又利用以代言人的名義,利誘受害者加入成為其公司代言人,並以豐厚的獎金作招徠。有部份受害者更被該美容公司以分期形式騙取其一筆款 項,期後該公司並沒有替受害者分期。事先,亦沒有向受害者表明需要繳付實際的金額,當該公司完成擦卡的程序,給予受害者簽署時,受害者才知道要繳付的金額 多過與公司事先說明的金額,該美容公司更以催促的手法,要求受害者簽署...
請各位網友注意!現在綜藝社群已將業務轉營至另一間公司,請大家小心留意這公司的行騙公司!本網主估計,「The Purple Beauty & Spa」亦快將改名。
而本網主又估計,「The Purple Beauty & Spa」不只與一間偽冒公司聯繫的,所以請網友小心!偽冒公司可能來來去去也只是同一班人經營。
請各位小心偽冒公司的欺騙手法!
偽冒模特兒公司 - 實例
想做 Model 變做 Facial模特兒陷阱男女照呃
【本報訊】模特兒公司詐騙新手法,包括口頭聲稱可以分期付款,事實是事主一次過付數千至數萬元購買美容療程;訛稱已接到 2萬多元的廣告合約,卻要求事主先付逾萬元作為影相費。消委會指有關手法屬「蠱惑招數」,希望政府盡快落實規管不良營商手法的條例。
付 16800元拍硬照
20多歲的陳小姐表示,前年有模特兒公司介紹她做美容代言人,見工時美容院職員指該公司是香港十大名牌,並向她推銷美容療程,「佢問我一個月畀唔畀到 800蚊」。她以信用卡付款後才發現支付了 2萬元,療程分 24個月,沒有免息分期,「佢話分期要自己去銀行搞,唔係佢負責」。
代言人合約沒有訂明陳小姐的酬勞,但一年可以做 200次療程,代言人酬勞相等於免費使用療程。合約並暗藏條款,指當事人沒有被高壓銷售。陳小姐做過兩次療程後,仍未有其他模特兒工作,懷疑受騙,向消委會投訴及小額錢債審裁處申請追討,「不過法官話我智商冇問題,簽咗合約就冇得搞」。
另一事主 25歲的李先生去年底收到「著數易」的職員來電,指有一個價值 25,000元的德國護膚品代言人合約適合他,但要求他簽署一張拍攝 500張硬照的合約,並先付款 16,800元。李先生付款後懷疑受騙,打算下周一到小額錢債審裁處申請追討。
先要自資「執靚啲」
據悉,陳小姐面試的模特兒公司叫「綜藝社群」,已被著數易的母公司收購。著數易經理林小姐昨回應本報查詢時表示,自資到美容院「執靚啲」,及自資拍攝硬照是模特兒行業的正常做法。
消委會總幹事劉燕卿表示,去年收到 28宗有關模特兒招聘工作陷阱的投訴,涉及逾 37萬元款項,單一個案最大金額為 38,800元。她指招聘新手法屬蠱惑招數,提醒消費者簽約時要三思。民建聯近兩個月則收到 10宗投訴,涉及近 20萬元款項。
懷疑偽冒公司「In management model agency」已轉名為「THE NIMO」
懷疑偽冒公司名稱:THE NIMO
根據受害者的資料所得,該公司是以「Sam Fashion and Skin Care」的名義去收取費用(以信用卡形式)
公司網頁:http://www.im-perform.com/、http://thenimo.mysinablog.com/
公司地址:銅鑼灣軒尼詩道建德豐商業大廈1101室
公司電話:2836 0877公司傳真:(有待查證)
採用手法:變種手法一
備註:偽冒公司很慣常轉名,企圖以改頭換面的方式再度行騙,因此請大家小心!該公司之前身為「In management model agency」,本網主懷疑該公司職員通知Yahoo blog管理員去刪除本網主將該公司列入「懷疑偽冒公司」名單的一篇網誌,Yahoo blog管理員表示本網主篇寫的那篇網誌涉及人身攻擊,於是要刪除!本網主很遺憾,偽冒公司職員竟然擾亂yahoo blog管理員的視聽,要求刪去該網頁,以圖掩飾其欺詐行為,再者,本網主亦知道為何他們要刪除該網誌的原因,目的就是因為該公司轉名,不想被網友查到他們原先是「In management model agency」,現轉名為「THE NIMO」。
本網主現發出聲明,公開的全是事實,當中並沒有涉及人身攻擊,完全是踢爆偽冒公司的不法行為,是為保護廣大市民利益著想而設立,如果Yahoo Blog管理員沒經過多重查證,但又對本網誌有任何疑問,請先在刪除前先電郵詢問本網主原因。
曾經遇上一些電話騙案的經歷 - 分享實例
分享曾經遇上一些電話騙案的經歷
我經常接到一些電話訪問來電,他們通常要你答問題,答完問題,隔幾天,他們又致電指你得獎取獎品,這類型騙案,十年不變,我於一個月坐底接幾次這類型電話,而這類型電話十分煩厭,你中途斷線,他們立刻再致電問過,最麻煩是當我工作中,他們又致電叫我答問題,你示意沒有時間,他們其後又可以厚著面皮再致電找你,
我記得有次更離譜,他們問我在那裡工作,我沒有回答他們(他們有本事取到我的電話號碼------但不代表我歡迎他們來電,他們也可以取到我更多個人資料),他們更試過說留了一本書給我,要我上門取書,我說:「咩嘢書嚟?」他們說:「投資嘅書。」我說:「我有錢投資,我就唔駛打工,你俾本投資嘅書我,我都唔識睇,我唔要。」他們說:「你真係唔要,留咗俾你。」我說:「你一係寄俾我,如果你要我上嚟攞,我唔要,你幫我扔掉。」
下列是我這些年來遇到一些電話騙案,與貓貓論壇網友們作出分享。
1)一切從BUFFET CLUB開始------------
我於多年前接到一個BUFFET CLUB電話,當時他們指加入了這個會就得到相等於$13000COUPON,但年費$1288,我事後發覺貨不對辦, 從此之後,電話來電立刻敲響我的警號。
2)衰貪心 險禁錮------------
就是接到所謂訪問電話,先答問題,後指得獎,送上門才知道要付$39800包25年年費,我那時差點被禁錮,逃走更被在場男職員兇,從此以後,我已經一刀切,不做任何電話交易(自電接受,來電謝絕)。
另外,有些貸款、保險、電訊網絡商亦經常致電給我。
貸款------我經常向他們說:「我無爭人錢,我唔需要。」更甚者,我試過接過一個電話「有錢借,借唔借」我說:「借咗唔駛還,淨間借你9蚊,你要我還13蚊,我仲慘。」
保險------我通常指不需要,如果他們再煩,我會自動CUT線。
電訊網絡商------我通常比較有禮貌,但當涉及金錢交易,我是不會於電話內進行,曾經有電話推廣員問我「點解」,我說自己曾經遇上電話騙案,因此,我以後都不會於電話內進行任何交易,再者,自稱電話網絡商職員,但其實屬實,我於電話內很難確定,我就算轉服務月費,我自己會致電熱線做更正。
總之,我們要提高警覺,自強不息,萬一中招,廢柴警察都未必幫到你,我有生之年最蒙羞是衰了街頭騙案,成為我的烙印(我不敢與人分享,因為我不想重提),自此之後,我不會做街頭訪問,也不會將自己個人資料給他們(你呃我唔到)。
下列是我提供貓貓論壇一些防騙錦囊給予網友。
1)前往求職不要帶大量金錢與及銀行咭,見工付款勿做。
2)謝絕任何電話交易。
最後,題外話,我覺得減肥瘦身騙案也猖獗(傳聞被騙肥人會被騙金錢),我最近不知道於網上惹了什麼騙子,經常傳送一些減肥瘦身訊息到我的電子郵箱,幸好我的身體長期FIT爆,無需減肥瘦身,我的電子郵箱已經刪除了這些騙財垃圾電郵。
常見騙術
| 街頭行騙手法 |
手法 彩票騙案是一種利用一般人希望贏取巨額彩金的僥倖心態而發 展出來的騙案。騙徒多以電郵、電話或短訊形式聯絡受害人,假稱受害人中了當地或海外的巨額彩金,只要受害人繳交指定金額的行政費或銀行手續費,便可將彩金 匯入受害人指定的本地銀行戶口。更甚者,騙徒會利用銀行未能於週末前夕進行交易的漏洞,假意存入有關彩金支票,令受害人相信經已獲取有關彩金,即時存入行 政手續費。騙徒收到款項後,便會消失,受害人再也不能聯絡到他們,而有關已存入之彩金支票亦未能兌現。 建議

手法 犯案者的行騙手法十分簡單。首先,一至兩名騙徒會在街上接近受害人,或直接致電受害人,遊說受害人以低於市價的價錢,購買大量看似是真金的飾物(如金戒 指、金元寶、金塊或金佛像等)或假古董。騙徒通常會聲稱那些財物是從他們工作的地盤挖掘出來,但由於他們是非法勞工,所以無法將財物典當。為了令受害人深 信不移,騙徒通常會讓受害人拿貨辦到信譽良好的店舖估價。當然,貨辦是真貨,但受害人真正買入的金飾及古董卻是一批假貨並毫無價值。 建議

手法 這類騙案通常涉及兩至四名騙徒,手法與「寶藥黨」相若。首先,第一名騙徒會在街上接近受害人,請他/她代為看管放置在街上的貨物,並答應給予港幣200至 300元作酬勞。若受害人同意,另一名騙徒便接近受害人,表示對那些貨物有興趣,並告知這些貨物具市場價值,可帶來豐厚利潤,提議待物主回來後與受害人一 同購買這些貨品。若受害人上當,便會白白浪費金錢換來一堆毫無價值的貨品。當然,真正的零售商必定知道貨品的真偽,因此不法之徒不會向他們下手。 建議

手法 這類騙案通常涉及兩名騙徒,發生於設有自動櫃員機之地方。騙徒甲離開櫃員機時,會在途人(受害人)面前「無意地」遺下現金,然後離開現場。騙徒乙出現,迅 速把現金拾起,放進手袋裡,並問途人是否想瓜分現金。 這時候,騙徒甲返回現場,指控騙徒乙偷錢。二人爭辯期間,騙徒甲聲稱要報警,騙徒乙把手袋交給受害人保管,但要求受害人以身上珠寶作抵押。當兩名騙徒離開 現場前往「報警」後,受害人查看袋中金錢,才發現袋中全是廢紙。 建議

手法 這種騙案大多涉及兩至四名騙徒,而受害人多是長者或教育程度較低的女性。首先,騙徒甲會接近受害人,詢問對方是否認識一位法師。這時,騙徒乙出現,說她知 道這位法師在哪裡,並帶領二人跟一名自稱是法師親戚的騙徒丙會面。騙徒丙指稱受害人家中有惡魔(或噩運),只要受害人交出財物/現金給法師作法,便可消災 解難。作法儀式完成後,騙徒把用報紙包著的「財物」交還受害人。可是當騙徒離開後,受害人打開包裹,才發現內裡只有一些毫無價值的物品。 建議

手法 這類騙案通常涉及一或兩名騙徒,受害人大多為青少年。首先,一名狀甚苦惱的騙徒會走近受害人,自稱是剛丟了錢包的遊客,請受害人借錢給他,並以手提電話作 抵押。最後,受害人發現手提電話是假貨,而騙徒留下的聯絡電話也是假的。有時騙徙更會自製名片假扮成有名望的人從而行騙。 或者,騙徒會向受害人借用手提電話,聲稱致電親屬借錢。另一名騙徒在電話裡假扮那位親戚,要求受害人先行借錢給第一名騙徒,並索取受害人的銀行戶口號碼, 答應稍後把款項轉賬給他。最後,騙徒當然沒有存錢給受害人。 建議

手法 推廣公司的時光共享計劃推銷員,通常透過隨意電話廣告或街頭問卷調查方式接觸顧客,然後以贈品、優惠券或有機會贏取獎品等理由,誘使他們出席講座。在講座 中,推廣公司會派出訓練有素的推銷員,以高壓銷售手法和折扣優惠遊說顧客參加時光共享計劃及即場簽署合約。由於這些硬銷的戰略通常持續幾個小時,許多顧客 可能會因為一時貪念,或不好意思拒絕對方,又或在疲勞轟炸下,最終簽署合約加入計劃。顧客可以選擇即時繳付全部會費,或繳付按金後再加每月份期付款。 建議

手法 騙徒利用互聯網和傳真函件利誘目標受害人上釣。騙徒會從不同途徑,包括業界刊物、通訊錄、報章和商業資料庫取得目標受害人的名字。 騙徒誘騙受害人參與大型的財務交易,並聲稱有關交易能帶來豐厚回報。當受害人表示有興趣時,騙徒便向他們出示虛假的銀行保證書、承兌票據或存款證,作為投資本金的抵押。 最後,騙徒要求受害人把投資資金或預付款項(墊支款項)存入指定帳戶,作為「抵押」或「信用保證」,或作「不可退還保證金」。受害人付款後,騙徒便會帶同款項逃之夭夭。 建議

手法 有不良文儀用品營銷商在學校或公司沒有訂購用品的情況下,直接經速遞公司把貨品送到他們那裡。學校或公司接待處在未有確定訂單便簽收有關單據。其後營銷商 不肯取回貨品,並不斷要求學校或公司付款,如果學校或公司拒絕付款,營銷商會以學校或公司已簽收貨品為理由訴諸法律行動。雖然這類手法非常有問題,但卻可 以避免。 建議

手法 尼日利亞人/"4-1-9"騙案之所以得名,是由於犯罪集團絕大多數來自尼日利亞,而國際間亦以尼日利亞刑事法典中針對這類騙案的條文稱之 為"4-1-9"騙案。騙徒通常自稱是高級「官員」,代表西非的外地政府或機關,並表示有需要清洗前政權的一筆錢財,故欲將錢調往國外戶口。受害人答允 後,騙徒便托詞解釋未能立即將錢匯出的原因,最後更要求他們預付或墊支款項作為各類稅項、費用或賄款,以方便處理和匯出該筆所謂的錢財。騙徒收到款項後, 受害人便再也聯絡不到騙徒。 建議

手法 不法之徒開設空殼公司後,刊登招聘廣告,並註明申請人無需具備任何技能,但薪酬優厚。受害人在該公司工作了一段短時間後,看到騙徒可以輕易地從黃金期貨投 機中獲利,再經騙徒慫恿後,遂同意參與投資。受害人最初能獲取一點小利,經騙徒不斷遊說,便繼續投資。但後來投資失利,騙徒更要求受害人補倉,這時受害人 想離開也難。騙徒利用受害人簽署過的文件要脅他們,聲稱文件具法律約束力( 當然不是事實) 。最後,受害人賠上所有資金並遭解僱。 建議

手法 不法之徒會在街上接觸受害人,或在報章上以空殼公司名義刊登廣告,遊說受害人預繳一筆費用拍攝個人影集或參加培訓課程,以換取一份回報豐厚的模特兒合約。 可是,當受害人付出大筆金錢後,先前的承諾卻未能兌現。騙徒為保障自己,會要求受害人簽署具法律約束力的文件,使受害人受有關公司所約束。在很多案件中, 受害人發覺繳付了攝影或訓練費用後,仍欠有關公司一筆款項。 建議

手法 騙徒假扮受害人的親屬、朋友或業務夥伴致電受害人,訛稱自己有財政困難,需要現金應急,要求受害人把款項存入或轉賬至騙徒提供的銀行戶口內。受害人後來發 現被騙,經警方調查後,才發現騙徒大多利用假/ 被盜身份證人士資料開設銀行戶口。 建議

手法 層壓式騙局又稱為連鎖推廣騙局。當這些計劃崩潰,令許多人蒙受損失的時候,在報章上便可看到有關報導。 其中最普遍的手法是連鎖信,這些信件保證只要收信人付出少量投資,便可獲得巨額回報,方法是收信人須把有關信件和少量現金寄給更多人。有時候,信件更會帶 有恐嚇成分,指若受害人不把信件轉寄,就會交上噩運。理論上,愈多人加入這個「金字塔」內,你的回報就愈多,因為你會「變成」站在塔尖的投資者。可是,要 讓所有人賺回自己的投資,是絕不可能的,因為根本沒有足夠的參加者。部分最初加入的人也許能賺取少量金錢,但往後的大部份人只會蒙受損失。 這類活動有時會以另一種形式出現,那就是層壓式投資計劃。在這種騙局中,「會員」必須先繳付入會費,然後招攬新會員加入並繳付入會費。理論上,那些招攬新 會員的人可在每份入會費中抽取傭金,最初加入的人或可得到一點分紅,但當「金字塔」崩潰後,除了站在塔尖的投資者外,其他人卻會蒙受損失。 建議

手法 科技日新月異,匪徒犯案手法亦層出不窮,信用卡騙案的情況尤其嚴重,全球每年在這方面的損失高達數十億美元。 現在匪徒不一定要取得你的信用卡才可使用你的帳戶。因此,市民必須保護其個人和信用卡資料,防止資料被竊。當使用信用卡時,市民必須小心,不要讓其他人從中盜取或複製有關資料(例如利用非法電子儀器讀取信用卡資料作非法用途)。經常要求店員在你面前進行信用卡交易。 只要掌握你的個人資料,匪徒便可以你的名義向發卡銀行申請信用卡。當你發現的時候,往往已經太遲了(例如當你申請貸款但遭拒絕時)。所以請好好保護郵箱, 因為這是塞滿個人資料的地方。經網上進行訂購活動時也要份外小心。另外應提防有人假冒公用事業公司職員、銀行職員、選舉登記員,或人口普查人員等來收集你 的個人資料。透過電話提供資料時亦必須謹慎,因為我們難以確定電話中人的身份。 最常見的手法就是使用偷來的信用卡。匪徒偷取信用卡後,會在信用卡失效前立即使用。 匪徒通常會從信件中偷取信用卡,或在受害人的手袋或外衣偷去錢包。一些專業的匪徒更配備用具,即時複製信用卡的資料,再在受害人發現前把信用卡物歸原主。 部份案件更顯示一些初相識朋友或性工作者在受害人飲品中落迷藥。 因此市民必須小心保管信用卡,定期檢查帳單。若發現任何損失,應立即通知發卡銀行。 匪徒盜取信用卡資料和櫃員機密碼的方法有很多,包括從受害人身後偷看,以至在櫃員機安裝針孔鏡頭。匪徒利用所得資料複製信用卡,從受害人的帳戶提取所有金 錢。因此,當你在櫃員機輸入密碼時必須小心,盡可能用手遮掩,以免被別人看到你的密碼。 建議
