Scam Alert

Possible Scam Report: Yieli.com 16 November 2009

Just received this email today...

I suspect it comes from the same people who were scammed my husband...

Everything, their offer, and modus operandi is the same.. the only difference is that they claim to be from a different company and is using a different name...

well, if the website is a scam, then it is considered a scam.. even if the person who sent it out is unaware of it..

my purpose was to ask pple to be careful when visiting the website stated in the email...

If Yliele.com IS a scam site, it's the most sophisticated I've seen- everything is there, including proper account setups, transaction records, tracking etc. I'm waiting to see if I've been had, after thinking a friend of mine had bought an iphone from there and recommended it to me. Time will tell and perhaps my eye for a bargain will have misled me.

Yes, yliele.com IS a scam, as is reveole.com! Avoid it at all costs! I lost US610 in December 09 by falling for it, wanting an iPhone 3GS 32Gb.(570 + freight. They string you along then nothing happens. They went quiet for a while but are back in business with their clever Live Chat robot.Put as many warnings and blogs out there as you can.

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!

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 ...

Unpaid Traffic Fine Scam

Scammers just never fail to run out of ideas. I know a few people who fell for this one.  You will be sent a SMS message that informs you that you have unpaid fines. And so you worry and click on the link.. and you will then be brought to a fraudulent website that looks like a site where you can pay the fines.. and if you do pay, you have to say goodbye to your money..  You can read more about the scam here https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/over-100-police-reports-filed-on-phishing-scam-purporting-unpaid-lta-fines-and-bills?fbclid=IwAR3g6IGM2Mxy5tJ49u_UD-nnU62NQoOCkrKZ_XUGXqufVVDRGz6LuvD3028 While this scam is pertaining to Singapore, I am sure there are similar ones out there. If ever you are asked to pay money online for whatever reason, always be vigilant.
