GUY ACCIDENTALLY TRANSFERRED $200 TO WRONG NUMBER, OTHER GUY REFUSE TO RETURN

0

A netizen shared how he had accidentally made a PayNow transfer of $200 to a wrong number instead of his intended recipient.

However, when he tried contacting the other person for his money back, the other party replied that “your (number) has been reported to the police, have a good day,” presumably thinking that the netizen was a scammer.

Here is what he said

“i currently accidentally transferred money to a wrong number. tried contacting the person via whatsapp but however refuses to return back the money and i really wouldn’t like to make a big fuss out of this and make it into a legal method.

have showed the person screenshots of it but he claimed that i was demanding him for money and refused to check his own bank account if there was a unknown transaction from his end.”

Netizens’ comments

  1. from his perspective it looks like a typical scam
  2. Call the bank u used to transfer, and request for them to reverse the transaction as it was a accident. Be assured if the police ever interview you, just explain it calmly that u transfer by accident and u gd.
  3. He didn’t even mention the fact that it looks like a stereotypical scam text
  4. His response isn’t wrong, although could have been friendlier. From his perspective theres a chance he’d be part of a money laundering syndicate if he xferred back the money. Contact the bank/police.
  5. I mean if someone texted me that I also will sus ah cos lately so many scams and shit.
    But I mean he probs dw to check his bank or maybe check alr have but he dw return lol. So maybe jus call the bank regarding this matter.
  6. He could think you are a scammer. Just report police to get it back. If someone out of the blue message me say to return him money I’ll probably go to the police myself just in case. Too many complicated scams these days
  7. U transferred at the wrong time and era…that’s really too bad..i would have thought it’s a scam too..
  8. He did the right thing actually. Because this is one of the many scam tactics. Police will need to intervene unfortunately. Happened before. U can report too to get your money back. Don’t bother being mad. U have to go through the pek chek way..
  9. just report smol pp to the popo, he will get into trouble for wrongful possession of your money
  10. Anyways it’s your fault never check properly before transfer. People now taking precaution on scams. I don’t blame the other guy, you should call bank instead of the person.
  11. What if this post was part of an elaborate scam to convince people that someone asking for 200 bucks is legit :O

MAID LEFT ELDERLY MAN AT BICYCLE RACK, WHILE SHE SITS DOWN TO PLAY HER PHONE @ HOUGANG

0

A netizen shared how he saw a maid bringing an elderly man on a wheelchair for a walk along a HDB estate in Hougang.

However, she left the old man beside a bicycle rack while she sat down on a bench beside him to play with her phone.

Here is what he said

Happened in 421 Hougang

I’m new in Singapore, I don’t know is this common or is this the SOP of bringing elderly down for a walk or fresh air here. I don’t know whose maid is this, I don’t know whose elderly is this.

But this is definitely not the first time I’m seeing this. It hurts me if this is happening to my elderly.

Same spot, same thing the maid is doing. Playing, swiping her phone. Same scenery the uncle is seeing, the bicycles.

If this is your elderly, this is your maid, I strongly suggest you to stop hiring this maid

Netizens’ comments

  1. It’s a common sight in Singapore. Many maids are doing that. Hopefully the employer is aware of this. Pity the elderly
  2. Why blame the helper? Want to blame pls blame his own children not taking care of him. Don’t expect an outsider to be 24/7 sitting or standing beside. Helper need to have their own space and break too.
  3. Now alot of Maid also behave this way. Use phone while stroll the Dogs/Baby/Old Ppl
  4. There is no perfect / fool proof solution. I am learning how to let go too, if not, i will die before my beloved mum!
    There is no such thing call this disease is easier than that disease to take care. As long as there is someone sick at home, it is never easy.
    Salute to all caregiver be it whatever disease patient you are taking care of.
  5. If you pay a visit to older estates where there are alot of older peoples, you can find that this type of occurrence are very common and normal. When maids gathered together in the void deck, they were chit chat among themselves, leaving older people’s sitting alone by themselves. What’s more can you expect from the maids if older people s under their care are safe and sounds, so everythings should be as per normal.

MOTORCYCLIST CRASHED AFTER MERCEDES CUTS HIM OFF @ AYE, DRIVER BLAMES HIM INSTEAD

A motorcyclist was seen in a video shared online, crashing his motorbike and skidding on the road across 2 lanes after being cut off by a Mercedes along the AYE.

The incident took place on 5 August at about 4.15pm along the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), the rider found himself facing a perilous situation as a Mercedes, seemingly driven with little regard for road markings, abruptly cut across his path.

The events that followed unfolded in a matter of seconds, yet the consequences were profound. Dashcam footage shared on the SG Road Vigilante Facebook page captured the harrowing incident in detail.

As the motorcyclist braced for impact, the two-wheeler skidded uncontrollably across two lanes, hurtling towards the grassy road barriers that bordered the expressway.

The Mercedes was positioned beside the motorcyclist when the collision occurred. Rather than speeding away, the driver of the Mercedes came to a halt, albeit after the damage had been done.

The social media-shared footage ignited a debate over the role of the luxury car in the incident.

One of the pivotal aspects of this incident was the alleged crossing of chevron markings by the Mercedes. These road markings serve as a clear indication of a traffic divider, guiding vehicles to maintain proper lanes.

The claim that the Mercedes driver had breached this barrier added a layer of intrigue to the unfolding narrative.

Promptly responding to the distress call, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) dispatched aid to the scene. The motorcyclist, though conscious, bore the brunt of the impact.

He was subsequently conveyed to Singapore General Hospital conscious.

Father’s Perspective

Adding a personal touch to the unfolding story, the motorcyclist’s father stepped into the spotlight. Expressing his concern and frustration, the father disclosed his son’s hospitalization and injuries.

The driver of the Mercedes, according to the father’s account, blamed the accident on his motorcyclist son instead.

He also thanked SGRV for posting the video, which he is intending to use as evidence.

He commented on the video: “Thank you for the video. Need it badly. I’m the father, which my son that involve with this accident. The driver even arrogantly telling me that my son, that knock him (foreign slang). With the help of this video, I will make sure this driver, stay out from the road for long. My son admitted to hospital. And thank god, nothing serious. Once again, thank you for the video and best wishes.”

ELDERLY WOMAN DIED AFTER EATING FRIED RICE LEFT OVERNIGHT, HUSBAND IN ICU

0

An elderly couple in their 80s from China faced dire consequences after eating overnight egg fried rice. What initially appeared to be a harmless meal turned into a harrowing ordeal, resulting in severe diarrhoea, vomiting, and ultimately, the tragic death of the wife, according to China Press.

A Silent Culprit: Overnight Fried Rice

The incident, reported by Chinese news outlet Xiandai Kuaibao, occurred at the couple’s home in Haimen, Nantong, situated in China’s Jiangsu province.

Mr. Li and his wife, Madam Yang, despite their age, were generally in good health. However, their decision to consume leftover egg fried rice from the previous day led to a series of unfortunate events.

After partaking in the leftover egg fried rice, the elderly couple’s health took a sudden downturn. They were soon afflicted with severe diarrhoea and vomiting, experiencing these distressing symptoms over ten times.

Recognizing the severity of their condition, their concerned family rushed them to the hospital for immediate medical attention, hoping to alleviate their suffering.

Upon arrival at the local hospital, both Mr. Li and Madam Yang’s conditions worsened significantly. Their blood pressure dropped rapidly, and their lactic acid levels spiked, indicating the onset of acidosis.

Tragically, Madam Yang’s symptoms proved to be more critical. In an effort to provide specialized care, the local hospital transferred the couple to a larger medical facility better equipped to manage their deteriorating health.

Despite the medical team’s efforts, Madam Yang succumbed to her severe symptoms and died, while her husband had to be treated in the emergency room as there were not enough beds in the ICU.

Unveiling the Culprit: Bacterial Infection and Organ Failure

The attending doctor’s investigation shed light on the cause of the couple’s rapidly deteriorating health. The consumption of overnight egg fried rice had resulted in a bacterial infection that triggered sepsis and multiple organ failure.

The doctor noted that the unusually high levels of inflammatory markers indicated the seriousness of the situation.

While the incident took a devastating turn for Madam Yang, her husband’s health journey took a different course. After receiving intensive treatment, Mr. Li’s condition eventually stabilized. He spent ten days in the hospital.

He was subsequently discharged from the hospital with his bodily functions largely restored to normal.

Lessons Learned and Regret

In the wake of this tragic incident, Mr. Li expressed profound sorrow and regret. He emphasized the importance of understanding the potential risks associated with seemingly harmless food choices.

Reflecting on the ordeal, he shared, “If we only knew how dangerous a bowl of overnight egg fried rice was, my wife and I would have never eaten it.”

CASHIER SCOLDED BY CRAZY CUSTOMER FOR NOT SAYING THANK YOU, STUNNED

0

A netizen shared how he was scolded by a customer for saying “have a good day” instead of “thank you”.

Here is the story

Okay so I work at a supermarkert store part-time. Today, I was working the register, and a guy comes into my line.

I ask about his day, and he tells me “I can’t hear you” (I get this a lot). I ask again, and tells me “oh it’s going good.” So far, everything is going smooth.

I served him and after I gave him his change, I told him “have a good day, sir.” And to my surprise, he said “thank you” in a kinda aggressive tone.

He said “you’re supposed to say thank you” and then walked off all mad. I didn’t say anything; I stood there in silence because I legit didn’t know what to do.

So apparently we’re supposed to thank the customers who shop here? Personally, I find that weird… and I can’t just explain why.

No other customer gets mad when I don’t say it. I’ll only say thank you if the customer helps me in any way (like letting me know if I accidentally missed an item before completing the transaction).

But why should I thank them for shopping here? They’ll most likely come back again anyway even if the experience is supposably terrible.

MOTHER DU-LAN CAUSE SON GO DO PART TIME JOB, NO ONE TAKE CARE SISTER

0

My son is 18, He is going to be attending poly soon and is living with me, my husband and his 2 younger half-sisters.

The other day I found out that he found and accepted a part time job without telling me. I was upset with him about it and the reason for that is that first of all, he should’ve told me since we live in the same house and also, and more importantly how I’m left without someone to stay with the girls from 3 to 8 where my shift start-ends. my son is usually the one to stay home with the girls and his new job is during these hours so one way or another we are impacted.

He told me his friend found him this job and it just happened – but I don’t think it did because he knew he had to give up staying with his sisters while I work. my husband travels most of the time (he’s a pilot) and paid child care is a no for me.

My son said I shouldn’t be surprised by him trying to work to save money to be able to pay for himself but that is just absurd since he literally lives with us without having to pay for anything except for his own entertainment. He said he needed the job and he wasn’t really going to stay and watch his sisters for days on end especially he doesn’t get paid for it.

We kept arguing and my husband got involved and he too was upset saying that my son had no respect for us. my son basically had a “like it or not” attitude with us and kept refusing to discuss this with us saying we have no right to be upset with him and should just accept it.

but I’m just…I think that he’s being inconsiderate of my husband’s and I struggle to provide for the family as a whole. this should mean something to him but he acted selfishly.

The babysitter option isn’t ideal and is because my daughters don’t want a babysitter. they’re both dealing with some issues and are uncomfortable being with a stranger at home. besides that my son decided to stay with them and we didn’t ask him or anything.

GF MAKE BF DRIVE HALFWAY TO TOWN & CANCELS THE DATE JUST TO TEST HIM

0

My girlfriend told me that she tested me by cancelling a date when we first started to go out. It was the date when we were kinda planning to hook up for the first time. For context, She lives in town area while I have a 40 min drive.

She waited until I was halfway to town before cancelling. I remember texting her as I got into the car and telling her I was on my way and she still waited until I was halfway to Orchard.

She had a lot of opportunities to cancel before I had driven half an hour. The date being cancelled sucked but she told me she was feeling sick and I told her it was okay and told her to get better. I had also asked her if she wanted me to come over and she said she didn’t want to.

She told me that it was a big moment for our relationship as she found that I am very considerate but honestly I get why she wanted to test me but I really am angry about the way she tested me. She had no consideration for my time and effort. it was as if she really wanted to inconvenience me to see how I would react.

I told her that it was pretty inconsiderate to wait until I had driven halfway to cancel and she had been really inconsiderate in the way she tested me.

She apologized half-heartedly and then said it was not a big deal and it has been 4 months. I told her it was a big deal to me and we had an argument about it. I feel bad afterwards cause it feels really small thing to get mad about.

Here are what netizens think

  • Your GF is absolutely garbage, if she has to test it means she is unsure. If she is unsure why did she get official with you.
  • I really don’t think anyone should do these kinds of ‘relationship tests’, because enough things will happen on their own to test a relationship anyway. You will get sick, you will get tired, you will face stressful times. No need to make up tests for that when those things already happen.
  • People normally do test are insecure and people that will cause problems in relationships so please stay away.

HUSBAND COOKS EVERYDAY, WIFE STILL NOT HAPPY TELLS FRIEND HE DON’T COOK

0

I work at a nice restaurant as a cook and every day when I get off from work I always cook dinner for my wife and our 2 kids at the restaurant before coming home.

The only time I don’t cook for them is on weekends when I’m off and that’s when my wife does the cooking. We usually trade off who makes breakfast and luck for the kids every other day but for the week I’m always the one bringing home dinner.

At weekends we sometimes get together with friends and they come over to the house. My wife usually cooks and I help set the table/clean afterwards. One of her friends “Stacy” asked how come I never do any of the cooking and is it always on my wife all the time making meals for the kids, especially when I’m a cook myself.

Instead of correcting her she sort of laughed and went along with it making jokes about “you know how it is.” And Stacy laughed because her ex-husband was the same way. And then sort of ripped on me in a “joking” way how I better buck up before I become an ex too.

My wife just said well let’s see if he actually listens and starts cooking for once. Joking about all the time I spend in the kitchen at work but won’t do the same at home. It really pissed me off. I’m not the husband that just doesn’t do anything after I’m home from work.

I cook food for her and the kids at work AND on top of that I make separate dishes for each of them (what she wants and what the kids want). All that after standing on my feet all day. We talked about it once they left because I don’t appreciate being told I’m not doing something she knows for a fact I do.

She didn’t want to apologize for it because it was all just to be a funny joke. Even after telling her about how it hurt my feelings being put down like that. My wife said she felt like she has to go along with the joke so there wouldn’t be any awkward vibes (whatever that means).

But I said fine if she can’t apologize for something that was mean just so she could laugh along with her friends then I won’t keep doing something she already claims I don’t do. For the past week I’ve only brought home dinner for our kids and she’s had to make her own food. She’s mad that I’m refusing to feed her over what happened instead of letting it go but I can’t help but feel mad about being made fun of like that when I’m working like a dog to provide for my family and still making sure they have food on the table every evening.

She just thinks I’m a bad husband now for how I’m reacting when she’s already tired at the end of the day but still having to make food for herself . Wth..

HUSBAND KEEPS FORCING WIFE TO BLINDFOLD & SIGN PAPER “LIKE A GAME”

0

Ever since I got out of the hospital for chronic problems, My husband has been introducing me to some games every evening. One game used to be about doing things while my eyes are blindfolded. involving puzzles, ruby’s cube, shaped objects et cetra…. We’d take turns to do it just for entertainment.

Just a couple of days ago, he’s been trying to get me to sign papers while wearing a blindfold. I refused to do it because he never lets me take a look at what I’m signing neither before nor after. He says that he was just trying to see if I could leave the same signature every time I sign but I couldn’t help feel uncomfortable.

I told him I don’t want to play this game unless and until he shows me the papers first, he said “nevermind then” and stopped bringing it up.

Last night, he tried to convince me to give it a try and even volunteered to go first, I asked if he was going to show me what I was going to sign and he made a face and said no, it’s the rules and I should respect them.

I refused and he kept on about how I keep acting worried and suspicious for no reason. he said I clearly don’t trust him and he was hurt by finding that out now after everything we been through. We had an argument and I told him to drop it and not bring it up again, period.

He was mad despite saying it was no big deal, he was obviously upset with me and kept talking about how I don’t trust him and that I was out of line to assume or suspect anything from him like this. I might be paranoid but I couldn’t help it. I do think I was ta to him after he stood by my side when my own family didn’t even visit.

Here are what netizens think:

  • It’s a trick, it could be divorce papers
  • It could a paper for u to transfer all assets to him.
  • He might be trying to let you sign something that will benefit him like it could be a will.

GIRL’S BF WOULD RATHER PLAY MAPLESTORY THAN GO OUT WITH HER

0

A netizen shared how she recently got engaged to her boyfriend, but he spends more time on the online game Maplestory than with her on dates, claiming that he can “earn money” from the game.

Here is the story

Recently got engaged to my boyfriend and although I love him a lot, theres 1 thing which I can’t stand about him because usually after work he is always very busy playing an online MMORPG called MapleStory,

He is always at home and only takes me out on dates usually between once or twice a week, and one day we had an argument because I called him selfish for always playing his games,

He told me that he earns between 1k-2k a month extra from playing maplestory, hence that is why is he always so busy with his so-called ‘extra’ work.

So I am unsure whether he is lying to me or telling the truth.

Assuming he is telling the truth, should I break up with him? Because I feel that he is not giving me enough of his personal time, however if he is lying to me i will definitely break up with him.

Looking for any relationship advice on how to fix such problems, thank you!
