[@roundstomache674]

This police detective video is well done and interesting, but weighing balance used, to find out mass of gold ingots, should be an electronic balance , that can read to 0.01 gram , and not an analog balance that can read only to 0.04 kg per division on scale, which is 40 gram per division , which is simply not precise enough

[@mainesobari]

because they "proved" that they are relatives from their hometown in China. My grandparents generation were really in touch w their siblings in China and were always happy to help them whenever needed. (But after my grandparents from my mom side after my grandpa passed on and on my dad side around 2013-2014) we stopped contacting the relatives from China, probably because we had no common topics to speak of but, if both my grandpas were still around, I think I'd have to visit my distant relatives every year during CNY

Why are old folks so gullible? Just because that chunk given was real gold doesn’t mean everything else is real gold. Until u test every single piece, how can u ascertain they’re all real gold & worse still pass a big sum of $ to a total stranger? Anyone can claim that they’re whomever & donates to whichever charity. They know ‘Tan’ is the most common surname in sg & sure enough some folks fell into the trap.
