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.

Management Team Scam

 You know how it is if you received an email from your boss, you are likely to follow instructions? Well, it has lately come to my attention that scammers are impersonating management leaders and going to respective employees to ask them to send information over.  A friend working in finance said she has received a WA message from a regional management leader in her company. She was surprised initially because she was wondering how he had gotten her personal number.  But the profile photo was indeed a photo of that particular leader and so she let her guard down and engaged him a little by asking him if he was in town. Following that, he actually told her... "I will like to inform you that we had a meeting with the board of directors." "Decisions have been taken at the level of our subsidiaries" "I'd like to share a letter concerning you personally." "Do you have a personal email?" That was when she got suspicious. So she started to ignore hi...
