（2月4日）民青团总秘书刘华才博士今日劝吁民众对诈骗行动提高警觉，尤其是目前横行的网上诈骗情形，已经有越来越多人在网上或面对面的情况下下被诈骗。
"近日有一则新闻报导，指我国人民在过去的3年里总共被诈骗了高达9千万令吉，这确实是一项惊人的数额，特别是我国的一般国民收入并不是很高。"
刘华才认为，有很多因素导致国民不断地遭诈骗，而其中一项原因便是受害人不愿脚踏实地工作，而选择追逐发达白日梦。
"我个人亲自处理过几宗案例实际上是因为受害者不愿吸取过往教训，从一开始遭到诈骗到后来受害者坚持要取回被骗的款项，而因此投资于另一项骗局，以期能取得补偿，这犹如赌徒因不愿放下之前的损失，而不惜一切坚持要赢回损失，而致使他们掉入无底洞，最终弄得债务缠身下场。"
同时也是思特雅国际大学副教授的刘华才博士指出，受害者当中也包括了专业人才，例如工程师、律师与教授。
"虽然受害者当中有些是受过高等教育者，但请不要忘了，这些骗子更是聪明和狡猾，因为他们都是受过训练，擅长玩弄心理战术，并利用不切实际的利润来引诱你作出投资，以达到其诈骗计谋。"
最后，刘华才也促政府通过宣教醒觉协助国民避免遭到诈骗，而同时也提醒民众世上并没有免费午餐，要对诈骗行动提高警觉。
Gerakan Youth warns public to be alert of scams
Dr Dominic Lau says there is no free lunch in this world
Press statement by Gerakan Youth Secretary General
Dr Dominic Lau Hoe Chai
4 February 2013
With an ever increasing amount of Malaysians being conned either virtually or face to face, Gerakan Youth Secretary General Dr Dominic Lau Hoe Chai advised the public to vigilant to scams running amok especially in the internet.
"Through a newspaper report recently, stating that Malaysians have been conned up to RM 90million for the past three years. This is indeed a staggering amount considering the fact that the average Malaysian salary is not high."
Lau voiced out that there are many factors why Malaysians are being continuously conned. One of the reasons is that the victim is unwilling to work preferring to indulge themselves in daydreaming of making it big.
"There are several cases which I attended personally are actually due to the fact the victim refused to learn from their previous experience. Upon being conned initially, the victim is determined to recover the money and therefore would invest in another scam hoping to recoup. This is akin to a gambler saddled with debts after he or she is not willing to let go their initial lost and therefore determined to recover it at all cost resulting them falling into a pit hole instead of a puddle."
Dr Dominic Lau, also UCSI associate professor pointed out that even some of the victims conned are from affluent occupations such as engineer, lawyers and lecturers.
"While there are a sizeable number of educated victims, please don't forget that these scammers are even smarter and cunning as they are trained to play on your psychology and ego to lure you into making an investment, promising unrealistic profits.
Finally, he would like to urge the government to assist Malaysians from being conned through awareness campaigns while giving another advice to Malaysians saying "There is no free lunch in this world."
