@@msbunny8845 well, if you aren't genuine in the first place (eg u helped today becos u expect others to help u back someday) how can u expect to find someone who will be genuinely good to you? Of all those who had been scammed (which I hv read so far) she is the only one whom I feel is really serve her right. Compare her responses with other victims, I feel that by right she should not be scammed, given the fact that she is far more analytical than others who sounded more gullible. She appeared to be a higher mangement level to me. However she behaved irrationally as she is too blinded by wanting to earn fast bucks. This scammer didn't even need to trap her. She offered herself to him to be butchered by asking any good investment that she can consider.

She got a message from the post office, stating that they were unable to mail her items due to an incorrect postage and that they ask her to go into a link to pay for the postage. Since my sister ordered things from shopee, she went in and lose about $300. Apprenently the scams were located in Korea but we managed to freeze her account, make a police report and retrieve her lost money.

You are a married woman and if some random guy you meet online asks, "do you like me?", it should be a definite sign that you should end any further contact with him. Her stupidity and gullible personality almost destroyed her family.

BINGO! Feels like she lacks respect for her husband and never got much attention (esp. male), or even dated much. I feel she tries to be "professional". She said it herself, the scammer portrays himself in high society. She never bother asking why was I targeted or what he wanted from me. She liked the attention she got from her scammer bc it was a fantasy she never got the courage to meet someone like him irl. So many delusional men/women out there.

Either she didn't say the whole truth to her husband. Or maybe she didn't said the whole truth to us . N because it was emotional affair , that's why he forgave her. U really think her husband picked up a knife just to prove its a scam. Naa, she probably confessed n that's why he may have threatened to kill himself. But then later she realised she got scammed. N was alone , but he forgave her. Because she doesn't want to be judged..

My friend got scam at least $300K! Now she still have not wake up and continue communitcaing with the scammer.

The worst part is she continue to believe the scammer and opened a new bank account and continue to transfer money to the scammer.

The more personal information you share online on your SNS, the more information the scammers can gather and find your weak spot.. like if you have lots of dogs photos, he knows you are a dog lover or if you often post fishing photos, he will say he often go fishing too...

Singapore as a small country should take steps to prevent loss of individual money to scam especially using digital currency. Perhaps we can use some of the traditional security like the trusted "serial number" on old printed notes. This can be elevated to encrypted "serial number" for each digital denomination and if stolen or lost can be rendered void by issuing a new "encrypted" serial number for the specific individual digital denomination. This should be workable if the ASEAN country decides to adopt enhanced security measures for digital currency usage.

[@88feji]

Singapore is targeted because there's a lot of loopholes in our laws and legal system ... For example the maximum punishment for some scam cases, a person who scammed MILLIONS of dollars are only liable to be imprisoned for only up to about 7 years and/or fined something like $15k .... of course its still a good deal for the scammer as they come away still enriched by millions of dollars after serving those punishment ! Look at the case of the chinaman who took millions of dollars from an elderly and stashed much of those money into his China connections .... anther case is the CEO who swindled many millions of dollars with fake wine investment and return to sg only to face fines of a much lower amount, even with imprisonment of 7 years he still gets to live luxuriously on the surplus scammed money that he stash away elsewhere when he gets out ....

LOL. Did anyone find it weird that she was carrying on with this dude online and was initially hiding it from her husband? Was she like having an affair?

[@skirtrunning]

SGD300k.. Thats the same ampunt my mum got scammed about 20 years back. Was by a singaporean scammer, a divorcee with a daughter attending polytechnic. If I see her again, I will really take my revenge. Her crime tore my family apart. My mum has post trauma and her personality took a 180 degree turn. I was a teenager back then and witnessed my dad sank into depression and my siblings and I grew up feeling insecure. Took time for our family to recover. That scammer that scammed my mum, got the easy sentence of serving a short time. Spent every thing she scammed off from my mum and my mum didnt get back a single cent from what she had been cheated of.

[@Cambodia_Love_Scams]

Whenever you are surfing the web, always set your mindset and tell yourself there is no free lunch in this world, whether its buying stuff online or these investment scheme. Always think to yourself that "yes, you are not the lucky one" and just ignore any proposal. People are not stupid to give you free money. Tbh, im unsympathetic towards all these scam victims. Its great that cna insider is raising awareness through these interview but some of victim said that its not they themselves are stupid, but the scammer are too good at scamming. I say bullcrap, who in the right mind will trust someone who you have never seen before and just follow their order and deposited 10-20k and some even resorted to borrowing money from friends. Its baffles me how something so easily avoidable needed to be raised awareness of.

[@CalvinK300]

I agree with you. It’s all too common for people to feel sympathetic towards these scam victims but in reality, they were blinded by false promise of love and fortune. All one needs to do is pause and think then you will see the red flags.

[@Soni-vc4jb]

When something happened, and you are at vulnerable moment, sometimes you want to believe it, and makes you blind. Even if you're saying to you, it's something weird but no, it can't be a scammer, this can't happen, it's immoral. And the stock market is right. Even the bank can tell, looks not a fraud. But do you know what everyone. All data can be manipulated in the background. There is now a complain against a big crypto trading for this type of manipulation. So tell to anyone. Do not invest in Casino.

Why would some CEO be response to me no body like me. So strange and keep insisting we stay on the topic of investing. So I told her all my stocks are in oils (before the war.

Kudos to this woman for admitting how greedy and stupid she was. If it helps others to avoid being scammed, it's worth the humiliation.

[@Soni-vc4jb]

Nasty comment. You didn't follow well the video. She was not greedy, she was forced to add more money to withdraw the cash. Because people are honest they can't imagine evil exist. I hope when you will travel to your best vacation spot, you can count to others to help you, and prevent you from a air plane crash, or a boat taking water, or being bitten by a shark.

@@franz.k You're judgemental. She summarize in few minutes what happened. You don't know the details. These scammers drive, put pressure on the victims, manipulate them in order to put more. Even if you don't want, they push you to put more. They have arguments.

I fell a little while. I was less firm and naive back then. I spent S$500 to learnt this life lesson. Basically it's from making aquientence, talk about investment, then show the very shady trading website with typo error, then he started calling in the middle of the night talking about the trading stuff. Giving pressure and I wad annoyed cuz I was about to sleep. Back then I already paiseh to hang up his call as we had a simple acquaintance relationship formed not like those stranger calls that you can just reject and hang up. So I followed similar steps but I was in sleepy and just wanna get things over and done with. When I woke up in the morning, when my mind cleared up, I realised how dumb I was. And all the red flags came together. So I made a police report. He person was continuing in contact with me on telling me how to operate but my mind came back to sense to prevent me from losing more.

Likely one of those new immigrants. I won't say it is greediness, as one of the current way of making money in Singapore is by investment and not through a job. Many people got a little richer through investments. A few became insanely rich and come to Singapore to park their wealth.

Because the Media and Institutions mostly say, that strangers and poor people can scam, not the white collars. And if they do not write correctly, can be a scammer. This is the mistake that leads to wrong judgments. The scammers can write properly, are graduated from universities, ...and speak very well. For example in Europe, they say if they do not write "I love you/Je t'aime" correctly, it's probably a scammer !
