There have been many netizens complaining about receiving calls or emails from various banks that ask for personal information such as passwords or even credit card information.

A netizen received a Whatsapp call by a caller that starts with +1 which is the country code for the USA, Canada and secondly if the bank is real why would they call you on Whatsapp and from overseas.

A few netizens who saw the post stated that they have similar encounters and warn others to be careful and not too trusting.

“Caller claimed to be from DBS bank Chinese customer service. I spoke in English and he hung up.”

Calling an all-out war against scammers

For those who receive such scam calls, if u are free please play along with them and drain their energy. Also, scammers have lesser time to cheat others

A netizen shared a story on how she was cheated by a furniture store on how she received the wrong goods and the shop owner went MIA after the delivery of the goods.

Here is her story:

Hi, I just want to share my story now at #megahome (615 Toa Payoh Lorong 4). I bought the bed and wardrobe there on 16/01/21 and requested for delivery on 05/15/21

But the item they delivered was wrong with the item I ordered. I contact the seller then he asked me to use the bed first and will make a new one change for me but till now they don’t have any news.

No one gives me the answer on when they will deliver. They used the reason because covid could not send the stock to Singapore. I understand a lot of Covid effects but they are open for business can’t use this excuse to reply to customers.

and I’ve also waited for 4 months without any news from them. I contacted them again and asked to return it but they also never replied to me. After they took the money from the customer didn’t care how long the customer needs to wait.

I share this so it does not happen to others everyone, be careful if planning to buy furniture at MEGA HOME

A netizen has shared a ghostly encounter he had with us while he was staying in a Hotel in Malaysia.

Here is his story

”I used to travel to Malaysia very often for work and my company always makes room reservations at this particular hotel for us.

This hotel is known to be “dirty” especially the rooms at the 8th floor.

I reached the hotel quite late on this particular evening and there were no more rooms in the other levels.

Feeling fatigue, I decided to just accept the room and proceeded up and fell asleep.

I remembered waking up to the sound of the toilet door creaking at around 3am and saw the toilet door opening by itself.

Remembering what my Mum used to tell me when I encounter such incidents, I sucked my balls in and shouted “F*ck off” and the door suddenly slammed shut but started open again.

It was then I realised that maybe the “ghost” might not understand English since I am in Malaysia hence I shouted “NBCB mai sng liao” which loosely translate to “f your mum pussy stop playing” in english.

Miraculously, the door stopped moving and I did not encounter any more haunting incidents in the room anymore.”
