Around 30% of Singaporeans are vulnerable to scams


What does it take for the govt to act and prevent scams from happening.

[sgbuffett]

least 1,399 job scam victims have been conned of almost $20 million since May this year, said the police in an advisory in June.

least 1,399 job scam victims have been conned of almost $20 million since May this year, said the police in an advisory in June.

There are 1399 cases 

Singapore until now has not prevented fraud prevention that is common in other countries.

For such large amounts customers are required to verify identity of transferee and the purpose under money laundering laws.

The law already exists to prevent this and the police and authorities are just doing nothing.

Many of such transfers should be blocked

[Buffybuffy]

Why would one transfer $60k to a stranger?

[sgbuffett]

UK govt has implemented law to make fraud prevention responsibility of large corporations like bank.

Among the various measures they have to implement one of them is to block  large transfers to other accounts and preventing back to back transfers from transfee account overseas

Why do our authorities not have the competence to do anything when other much larger countries can

[starbugs]

Maybe all sinkies should be forced to complete a scam awareness course every year before they can use the internet. It's like in many companies where such mandatory training (but in IT security) is enforced. Those who fail or don't do can only use a dumb phone.

[Goldmine]

He's looking for a job. Why he so naive to transfer $60,000 over?  Why it never strike him that this a scam

[hansamu]

Blame digitalisation...155k is a lot of money.

No wonder more and more mental cases even for younger guys who have been scammed.

Can understand fully the excruciating pain and frustration of being scammed.

[wendychan]

he was greedy

[hansamu]

Could be unemployed for long time....so desperate so just comply obediently. 

44 years old...

Actually it can solve easily

There's google app store, apple app store, etc

Singapore should create Singapore app store

Any app in Singapore app stores is screen and safe
Any app in Singapore app store must have Singapore address and registration
That will make Singapore phone users save from scam

Stupid are those overpaid farker never think of that

 “a fool and his money are soon parted” 

This guy's story sounds more like an idiot than scam. 
Where got people come out money upfront to work for others? 
Who in the right frame of mind would transfer such large sum of money to an online website without even physically seeing who is receiving the money?

Actually out of curiosity, I also makan the scammers monies a few times already last year.  $6 each time.  Because they will pay $6 to respondents just to answer their silly surveys.  Then I refused to go further when they ask me enter their telegram chat groups

I think they are wiser now.  No payment until you answer survey AND carry out further tasks for $12

[Pass-by]

They are lazy earning fat salaries just like those bankers, why should they care about others? They only busy during elections?

[mikotan]

[Oasis]

[Cmpunk]

Not only this type of scammer also must be carful on those expensive courses that promise you to become millionaire by investing such as options and shares.

[RiseofAsia]

Must be karma lah?

[Cmpunk]

Nowadays Gov agencies also cannot really help to do any job matching that why many fall into the scammer hand.
