Crimewatch 2024 EP8 - Government Official Impersonation Scam and Investment Scam!

[@hjarron5168]

I have recently received a call from a Chinese national speaking in Mandarin claiming to be from a local bank, I instantaneously knew it was a scammer. I spoke to him in Mandarin to advice him to cough once if he has been tortured by someone and was forced to make the call, I said confidently that I know the situation they were in, and would seek help for him if he did so. To my surprise he paused for a second, coughed stealthily before deciding to hang up on the call. (I believe they were on a constant scrutiny). The entire call was placed on loudspeaker on my phone in the presence of my colleagues, it was shocking to witness. I believe many of them had been a job hunt victim and were abducted into Myanmar/Laos and tortured if they do not scam a certain sum of money per day.

Lmfao 😂

[@andrewseed7184]

report it

[@ShhhHhhhz]

banks keep calling me for the past few months but i just ignore them... until the repo man came knocking lmao

[@AlvinCydis]

Waited a long time for an episode that feels unconvincing. Comes across more like an anti-scam advisory than an actual story.

[@RongxiangLin]

I trust MAS and SPF. Thank you for safeguarding our peaceful way of life here in Singapore.

[@Bagellatte]

Recently I received many spam calls, immediately I hung up and blocked them. WTF. These scammers should find a decent job please, don’t go around scamming innocents

[@CognitoTanKhaiiHuitkh9917]

Maybe none were voluntarily doing this

[@Isaacswaggy]

Hi, I understand how u feel Maybe some scammers are forced to do this by syndicates

[@CognitoTanKhaiiHuitkh9917]

And also the one who voluntarily did this for all I am to guess they must have first been through some very nonsensical problem to become like this so in a way involuntarily too just like some of us only want to work and get our paycheck but unnecessary obstacle keep getting in our way and we end up feeling fedup and decided to scam as either revenge or get income hence could explain why they don't feel anything since they could have been be once victim to something too

[@dolphinplee1874]

Me too

[@Artistic20061]

DUN EVEN BOTHER TO ANSWER THE CALLS, JUZ IGNORE AND BLOCK THEM STRAIGHT AWAY.

[@dennisbb123]

just ask the police officers to come and arrest. if you are innocent, you shouldnt be afraid they pay you a visit

[@tiny_fern]

i won’t fall for scam calls because i hate picking up calls 😂 even from my own loved ones

[@cloud9sg]

[@CognitoTanKhaiiHuitkh9917]

What is that

[@user-ti6wv2ed3q]

🤣

[@masterpc-9845x]

0:19 the Chinese accent makes the whole scam sound fake, no wonder she didn't fall for it xD

[@-jin-3335]

I like how they are trying very hard to mimic the PRC accent

[@andyinvest]

If you did not commit a crime, you need not be afraid of anything.

[@chockitkat3776]

We've been waiting for months sia

[@LidiaLidiatambah]

😅

[@World_United2024]

Scammer: "You don't want your whole family to get caught for money laundry right?" Me : "Yes i do, come & get me, Lmao"🤭

[@CalvinK-the_old_fogey]

Once a scam caller threatened to send police to arrest me so I thanked him for his kindness. He was shocked and asked why. I explained I thanked him for giving me enough notice to escape. He cut off the call. 😂

[@brawlstars9419]

​@@CalvinK-the_old_fogeyHAHAHAHAHA

[@Artistic20061]

If the first lady who knew about ongoing scams, why did she even bother to answer their calls.

[@nicholasleow6692]

I can't believe I had fallen for an impersonator who used deepfakes to fool me given my first encounter with those who use a different method to execute their modus operandi. Now I've understood how they convince others' hearts; I now know what to do should I encounter a similar situation.

[@ericcheong9189]

I never invest. Only sg gov bond 😂

[@peterstoate2153]

Its always best to ring your bank to check what is going on Remember the number is always at the back of your bank card

[@leonardtangty]

ask the police to arrest you at your place.see face to face.

[@uria480]

With all the impersonation scams going around, it's making the work of real police officers even harder in different ways. A while back, I got a call from someone claiming to be a police officer, saying I was involved in a case. I actually told them to f*ck off because I thought it was another scam. Turns out, they were an actual officer, and I had to go through the whole hassle of going to the station, only to find out they needed my witness statement. So, is there anything the police can do to prove they're legit right from the start?

[@jackolee9459]

Thank you for your advice, Miss Ong-Ang Ai Boon.

[@axolotlityhello809]

singapore has gone too far with the chinese accent😂😂😂 sounds abit like steven he😂

[@SeanCombs-D]

As a scammer myself, we will get all of you❤

[@CalvinK-the_old_fogey]

Ah, you are just bluffing. How I know? Genuine scammers do want to get “all of you” (where got time?) … we just want 1-2 out of 100 cold calls to take the bait, enough Liao (we send out thousands of automated calls daily) … oops did I out myself as a scammer like you? 😂

[@SeanCombs-D]

@CalvinK-the_old_fogey go check on your mom. She's on the phone with me

[@alexoncher]

Ms Leong is sentence 10 years imprisonment. Mr Hassan is sentence 5 years imprisonment.

[@TRANSLASLionsCityMovia]

The truth is, there's no criminal offences for this episode. Not even on TV Same goes to 2023 Ep 7 & 2022 Ep 9

[@imransaghira6161]

Won't bother the unknown call when I'm busy but, when got time I just texted them.. A middle finger 😁

[@Terence380]

6:28 Is you IC no S00369- wait a minute 💀

[@stevenheng3336]

Mr Hassan, ur arrogant is what that will make u lose yr $ but in life, we do have such people like Hassan

[@rudylopez5060]

Wah jialat.. previous crime watch episodes from year 2016 to 2023 got featuring money laundering scams. Now they replay again but with different actors. Crime watch producers running out of ideas?

[@saraleigh7424]

This is to remind all public not to fall such scam.. but getting more and more scam is going on.. Not because of out of idea.. you dumb..

[@faizalkamal8035]

Yet people still losing their money everyday every year... So no harm in repeating the same drama again for better awareness.

[@jonieboy5490]

Yessss it's very super jialat tat until now 2024 there are still so many dumb cb still kana scammed despite crime watch showing since 2016!!!! Tats d reason y it's still repeatedly showing do u understand????? 😮😮😮

[@ckchong8858]

I know law enforcement are working hard and doing their best. Takes 2 weeks to flag out the suspicious transaction is a little too long, by then the funds are long gone so does the elderly's hard earned savings. Hopefully there's AI going forward to speed up the process of the flagging for all this scams.

[@buitrung80]

If we not doublt or careful we can be fooled by them

[@ferdinandmarkrivera2305]

Gardenia loaf bread Skimpy peanut butter

[@thegardenranger]

Those scammers are so evil to innocent people. They shed innocent blood. This is why they will not escape punishment. In the name of Jesus.

[@clee266]

Yes I was a victim. I told scammer I written off and move on. They got very upset.

[@thegardenranger]

@clee266 I actually once fell victim for a scammer too, and I lost around S$7000. After that I became a prayer fighter against those scammers. I hope every victim will receive back double, and those scammers shall not steal anymore, but work with their own hands to get an honest living.

[@thegardenranger]

@clee266 I am sorry for your bad experience with them. Yes, those scammers are very insolent. I once lost around S$7000 to a scammer once. After that I became educated about them, and I really hope they find an honest work with honest wages, and pay back their victims. But if they do it not, those scammers will enjoy evil now, but pay a much higher price later.

[@thegardenranger]

@@clee266 I am very sorry, they were so insolent to you. I became their victim once too and lost about S$7100. They will get their punishment sooner or later, because evil will never pay off in the end. And their covetousness is evil.
