For now.

Once scammers break into these stores, you'd never know which App is ever safe anymore.

Large number of Singapore population are ageing or not familiar with IT and IT security.

Singapore is a hotbed for scams and people lose their life savings due to scammers and hackers


I have moved all mom's funds.off line with nk Internet access.

The danger is too high with govt dishing out digitalisation courses to senior it makes it even more dangerous because I don't think seniors can understand all the security risks and are put online after the course.

Those guys have skin thicker than elephant ...it is useless.

They are located jn Phillippines China and India where law enforcement is weak in such areas.

Other than spewing out the crudest vulgarities , what else can we do to  vent our anger and unhappiness at them.

Looks like for the rest of human existence, this scam stuff will continue forever. 
These freaking scammers will be "JILLIONAIRES" for generations. 

Really easy money every day !!!
