Cheats have taken large amount of money out of trusting Japanese in 2003 by phoning and pretending to be relatives in trouble, Japanese police said. In what media are calling the“Hi, it's me”trick, victims（受害者）receive calls from cheats who call themselves only as“me”and say they are in great need of money to cover anything from an uninsured traffic accident to an unexpected trouble. Victims think the person on the telephone must be a close relative and often agree to send the money to bank account specified by the cheat straight away. There had been 3 807 reported cases till November 2003, with victims paying out a total of almost 2.3 billion yen ($ 21.1 million), according to police figures. Many of the victims were women over 40, according to domestic newspapers. Police said they were recommending that people check the identity of people asking for money on the telephone. In a more shocking development, some telephone cheats now force money by pretending they have kidnapped a victim's child, with 76 such cases in October alone.

At last they saw a light in one of the upstairs windows. It flashed once, twice, three times.
“That’s the sign,” Lacey said. Both men got out of the car. They were wearing dark clothes. They now put on gloves. Lacey had a small bag of tools. “Can I bring the gun?” Bames asked.
“How many times must I tell you! No guns!” Lacey said angrily. “Not while you’re working with me.” And they entered the garden through a small gate.
“I hope there aren’t any dogs,” Bames said as they climbed round the edge of the garden. They were going towards the back of the house.
“There are no dogs and no people here,” Lacey told him. “Except for our friend upstairs. Now keep quiet and follow me!”
They entered a big yard at the back of the house.
“That’s the window over there,” Lacey said, pointing to a small window near the kitchen door. “You wait here. I’ll get through the kitchen window. If I can’t open the door, you’ll have to climb through the window too. ”
Lacey crossed the yard. He opened the window without any difficulty and climbed through. But the kitchen door was locked and the key was not there. He went to the window and whistled to Bames.
“You’ll have to climb through the window, too,” he said.
Just at that moment they heard the sound of a car. It was getting closer to the house at great speed and its lights lit up the house as it got nearer. People got out and they could hear voices.
“That is the police!” Bames said, “It is a trap. I knew it. ”
“Don’t be worried！” Lacey told him. “Now listen to me. Go back to the car and wait for me there. I’ll join you as soon as I can. Off you go and keep well in the shadows. ”
