After downloading and installing the application, Teh provided her username and the PIN on the application to the caller.
She still thought that the caller might have held her money tempo 世界杯竞猜下注app rarily for the purpose of his checks but when he did not call back the next day, she reported that her funds were missing to her bank and the Singapore police. |
