Actually, the victim should first meet the agent and then view the unit together. He is really unwise to just transfer the money without meeting the agent or viewing the unit beforehand. Dumb.

Nornally when one comes across a listing. He will call the agent and then they will meet up to go view the unit together. The agent will present his name card and his ID badge for verification purposes. One can also check online after that too.
Nobody in their right minds (oh okay, save for really dumb folks) will just sign an LOI and pay so much money without viewing the actual unit or meeting the agent concerned. Fools deserve to part with their money

An LOI is a preliminary agreement by a tenant to lease a landlord’s property, as well as the latter’s acknowledgment.
"It had chops and everything," Lim said, adding that the document looked legitimate.
To be safe, he said he did his due diligence and looked up the agent, company and license before proceeding with the deal.
"I did my background checks and everything. I asked my friends who worked in the same company and they said this was a [legitimate] agent," Lim elaborated.

Where this victim failed is that he
paid up without even viewing the unit or the agent. The credentials, LOI and name card of course seem valid when viewed online becos it is through impersonation. But if he had met up to view the unit, if it was a bogus unit, would the bogus agent even be able to show the unit and walked him through the house? If the bogus agent even dared to show up, how could his agent name card and imposter face be the same?
Dumb people deserve to lose their money so they will be wiser next round. They should also not breed
Come to think of it, the way he said he did his due digligence, I think the joker is working for Temasek
