打錯了 - wrong number

today i received a phone call from again, the dreaded fake calls... the person started off with the usual line...

me :       hello...
fake:      你好。你會講華語嗎?(hello, can you speak mandarin)
me:         i'm sorry... i don't understand...
fake:       你會講華語嗎?(can you speak mandarin)
me:         i'm sorry... i really don't understand... what are you talking about??
....
after a while, the lady said this...

fake:      OK, sorry. Nevermind. (in english... no translation needed)

-the end-

then the office was saying how there is some scheme going on in chinese medical halls.. these people will wait in front and if they see you going in to one of these chinese practitioner, their act will kick in... they will start a conversation in your presence...

the content involve... how someone is sick... how they are looking for this miracle person who can cure illness... etc... and finally if you are sucked into it, they will somehow get you to give them lots of money... this poor woman apparently gave them 100k before she knew what was going on...

anyway, here is a song to lighten the mood... enjoy's faye wong's 打錯了, even though i don't think these people dialed the wrong number...
