Sammul Chan who lives alone, recently was disturbed by a crazy fan and nearly caused him to have a mental breakdown. The fan constantly messaged him sms messages, one message saying he needs him to guess who he/she is , another time asking him to give them a game console. But the most disturbing comment was that they said they were below his home building which made him feel his life was under threat. If it continues he will report it to the Police.
Normally actors will be happy that they have fan's supporting them but the actions of crazy fan's can cause them to not be able to eat or sleep. Recently Sammul felt his life was under threat because of the disturbance made by the fan. The biggest problem is that he doesn't know what the person's gender is because each time they phone him they will not talk. Also there is no scheduled time, sometimes he will receive a sms in the daytime but would also phone him at night. He asked his friends if they knew who this person was but none of them knew the "Mysterious" person. He decided he will not take any more calls from this person. Since the beginning of October he had received 3 sms messages which include (13th Oct) (Oh, Guess Who I am?), 18th Oct (Get me a Xbox 360) and on the 21st (I am currently below your building". Sammul said angrily "I don't even know them so why would I need to give them a game console?".
Actually when Sammul departed to Iceland to film a travel documentary, he had already received these messages. Although while he was away he didn't receive any disturbance. Sammul said "I am really worried and get more worried everytime I recieve a message from them. I live alone and often ask for food deliveries. When I book for a table I will be asked to leave my phone number and my handphone number can easily be leaked. I will be extra careful because you don't know what they are up to. As well as being extra careful going in and out of my home premises. I have also been very worried when throwing the garbage out every evening. It's Halloween soon so it can be quite scary. If the person enters my building from the back staircase it will be alot of trouble because if it's a male then I can defend myself but if it's a female I cannot attack so I will carry a torch with me for safety".
Sammul has previously checked with his handphone company and they advised that he could request to block someone from calling them but could not block sms messages. If the disturbance continues he will consider to report it to the police. He revealed that in the past he experience a similar matter. A fan actually knew his home phone number. Despite the fan not having any bad intentions and just wanted to hear his voice but he felt it was like the movie Ring and in the end changed his phone number. He said that the current handphone is used for the purpose of work. If he changed his number he will have to contact all his colleagues but this will be his final step.
