Weird Things People Do... #2 (And How To Counter Them)

Description:
Coming up to you in NUS and telling your their cock-and-bull story about their long-lost relatives and their dire need of money.

In short, wanting to extort money from you.

What You Need:
01 x Determination (so as to not let them out-talk you into giving your money)
01 x Courage (in case things turn ugly and you need to fend them off physically)
01 x Handphone with the number "6874 1616" stored inside for easy dialing.

With regards to item number 3 in the list of requirements, you can store the number with the name: CAMPUS SECURITY.

How To Do It:

Method 1:
When you are approached in school by these conmen/con-women who wants to cheat you of your money, tell them YES YES OKAY I CALL MY FRIEND TO BRING YOU THE MONEY.

Now call the number you've saved as CAMPUS SECURITY, and then speak loudly in the phone, the below sentence:

"HEY HELLO! SOMEBODY HERE WANTS SOME MONEY FROM ME, CAN YOU PLEASE BRING THE MONEY TO <your current location>?"

Then tell the conmen to wait there with you while your friend (CAMPUS SECURITY) brings the money for them.

Method 2:
Point them in the direction of the nearest canteen or hall residence, citing that you have no money on you, but there will be PLENTY of their native countrymen who will be there willing to give them the money.

Method 3 (applies only if you are approached by the con-women):
Tell them you have no money on you, and direct them to either Geylang or Joo Chiat Road. Say that there will be people there willing to give them the money they need in return for "small favours".

If the con-women acts blur or insists she doesn't know what you mean, tell her DON'T WORRY, JUST GO THERE FIRST. THERE ARE PLENTY OF YOUR NATIVE COUNTRY-WOMEN TO HELP YOU THERE AND GUIDE YOU ALONG.

How To React If You're Caught:
Hmm... wait. There's no chance of you getting caught here! You aren't doing anything despicable here, it's the other party who's doing the despicable act!

In any case, if you manage to execute Method 1, and they are succesfully apprehended, just remember to point your fingers at them after they get inside the patrol car. Then laugh loudly 3 times and be on your way.
