Blindfold Gag Video Call Scam


If you receive a video of your child being gagged and blindfolded, it is important to stay calm and CALL YOUR CHILD TO CHECK IF THIS IS TRUE.

Lately, there are more elaborate scams happening where they scam the child and asked them to take a "x-ray" via a video call and send the video of the gagged and naked person to their parents overseas to demand for ransom.

And one such case happened to a student in Singapore whose parents were residing overseas.

The said student was told he is involved in some investigation by the police in China.

"He was instructed to remove his top, gag and blindfold himself to take an "X-ray" over the video call. He was also told to isolate himself in a hotel room and cease contact with family and friends."

Also, if any stranger came to you and told you that you were under investigation, the first thing you can do would be to contact the police in that country to check if it is true. If not, at least call the local police force and double check.. especially if they are asking you to do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

DBS Bank Scam

Today I received a call 87592694... which looked like a normal local phone number.. BUT the caller had Filipino accent told me they are from DBS bank. (RED FLAG 1)   Then she informed me that someone had used my acc to transfer money to buy a gaming laptop and asked me if I bought any gaming laptops. I told her NO. And then she kept asking me this same number cos I gave a one word reply. Cos I think most people will panic and want to check this or that.. and she just asked me like 3-4 times till I asked her back "How many times do I have to say NO to you?"  (RED FLAG 2)   Then she said now that she confirmed I didnt make the purchase, she will have to undo the transaction by asking me for my name to verify it. To make me trust her, she asked me if my number is 1234567. Now the thing is.. that is my number but it is my work phone number and it is not linked to any of my banking accounts. But i still wanted to see where this goes... so she asked me for my name to verify my ...

You Run The Risk Of Meeting Scammers Even If You Are Selling Things Online!

I always thought that scammers only target people who are buying things online. Boy, was I wrong!:) Some time ago, a friend said she needed help to sell a branded wallet and I offered to help her post an ad online. Shortly after I posted the ad online, someone replied! He first asked if the wallet is still available. When I replied that it was, he sent this to me: ------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Webster ddwebtt@yahoo.com To: Angel Peng Sent: Sunday, 22 July 2012, 13:01 Subject: Re: Preloved Genuine Brown Gucci Wallet For Sale Ok!

Dating App Scams

I was trying to start dating again after a failed relationship and some friends suggested using a dating app. Turns out that that was the BEST and also the WORST suggestion ever. The BEST because I did eventually find Mr Right on the app.. BUT, not before I met tonnes of scammers online. While I didnt lose any money, it was an absolute waste of time and energy for me and it was such hard work to filter them out! I really almost gave up! Anyway, I thought since I already put in the work, why not share my FINDINGS and SOP so other women who are interested in dating online can benefit from it? Once you have decided which app you will like to use, one of the most important things is the profile that you put up. Do take note to avoid the following things: Do not tell them upfront if you are widowed or divorced or recently broken up (scammers love people with these profiles so you end up wasting alot more time) Do not put just a "pretty photo" and do not use any photo w...
