In today’s world, it’s disheartening to learn that not everyone can be trusted, even those we invite into our homes or offices. Such was the case for an elderly couple in Singapore who recently experienced a theft committed by an aircon technician.
The unsuspecting couple hired a technician to service their air conditioning unit, expecting a routine visit. Little did they know that their trust would be violated. After the technician’s departure, the couple made a shocking discovery: S$1,200 was missing from their drawer.
The couple’s plight gained attention when it was shared on TikTok by a user named @airconscammer. Initially, the aircon company denied the theft allegations, creating further distress for the couple. However, their hope for justice was rekindled after they filed a police report.
The turning point in the investigation occurred when the technician admitted to stealing the money. His confession vindicated the elderly couple’s suspicions, validating their decision to involve the authorities. Despite this admission, the investigation is still underway to gather all the necessary evidence.
The victim’s daughter, who goes by the username @airconscammer on TikTok, shared her parents’ ordeal in an emotional video. The video revealed that the couple had received a bouquet made of banknotes worth S$3,000. They decided to store the cash in a drawer below the aircon unit.
Following the technician’s visit, the victim’s mother planned to deposit the cash into the bank. To her utter shock, she realized that S$1,200 worth of banknotes had vanished from the drawer. Even the three torn ones from the dismantling process were nowhere to be found. This discovery left the family feeling violated and betrayed.
The victim’s daughter took it upon herself to contact the boss of the aircon company, hoping for a resolution. Unfortunately, the boss denied all the theft allegations and showed no intention of investigating the matter further. Moreover, he assured the family that they would be refunded for the remaining servicing sessions but failed to fulfill his promise.
Determined to reclaim their stolen money, the family decided to file a police report. They also turned to online platforms, seeking advice and support from fellow users who might have faced similar situations. The outpouring of support and guidance gave them a glimmer of hope in their pursuit of justice.
In a positive update, the victim’s daughter shared that the technician eventually confessed to stealing “a sum of money” during police questioning. However, the exact amount he stole is yet to be confirmed.
