According to a Police media release, Since September 2021, scammers have been posting phony Facebook adverts following the sale of newly introduced electrical devices.
At least 20 people have fallen victim to such frauds thus far.
In such circumstances, victims would stumble across social media postings or Facebook adverts encouraging the purchase of these recently introduced electrical devices at a price lower than the approved retail price.
Victims who click on these posts will be led to the in-app messaging or WhatsApp to contact with the sellers. During their chat, the sellers would say that there are limited supplies and would ask the victims to make an upfront payment or a deposit before the electronic gadget was delivered.
Following that, victims would be instructed to transfer funds to bank accounts belonging to unknown individuals. Victims would realize they had been duped.
A video emerged online showing an accident that took place near Serangoon MRT Exit F.
The victim was seen lying on the road as paramedics tried their hardest to revive him/her.
The traffic police was also as the scene.
The netizen who took the video said:
“Hi, I would like to share this accident that happened at near Serangoon Mrt Exit F.
I have complained to LTA before previously regarding in the delay in the traffic lights. Which causes confusion to the pedestrians. However, they told me there’s nothing can be done due to the sequencing of traffic lights.
For instance, in the video, you see one of the roads stopping first then another road the vehicles are still travelling.
Hence, pedestrians will assume that the opposite road stops and their side can cross too.
Please take a look at this video. I hope you can raise awareness so people in future won’t kenna.
Me and my sister had a near miss once at this traffic light. I also saw others having a near miss.”
Been with my Hubby from r/s to marriage for 10 years with kids and yes after many years of r/s, it can be leading a simple life of just taking care of kids, family and working.Â
I’m standing in a POV in an open-minded state. So my hub started off to be very close with a few female colleagues. They watsapp and even talk alot in work messengers. Initially, it was annoying and insecure that I started to have this thinking if he’s going to stray or had the intention to do so but however, he was devoted to the family and still caring about me despite him talking alot to his female colleague.Â
I then come to a few point of time, started to engage to one of a mummy friend n we talk everyday. We also talk about sensitive things like when how to make babies happily and our daily life encounters. Are we flirting? we are females and imagine, I talk to a guy like this! Then at another point of time, I had common thinking with a guy colleague on work culture and we decided to leave the company. Even after we left, we still talk to each other every other days. He’s interested in TCM and we even shared which acupuncture points can be good to increase s*xual drive after birth. I even know he had s*x while wfh. In texts, it can sound like flirting but in fact, it is actually a way to rant or finding balance in life so when we face work or family, we don’t feel so destress.Â
I don’t have hobby like gardening or sewing so, my only hobby i got is to talk to people and in this pandemic, we hardly meet people. If you spouse has the intention to cheat, here are some hints to lookout for
1. does your spouse want to meet the person who is close with?
2. does your spouse neglect you and your kids/family?
3. does your spouse typed in text that he/she has feelings for the colleague?
if yes to all the above , be prepared for the worst. if not, just leave it as everyone has their own ways to destress nn finding someone they comfort with to talk to. not just circulating around you. i’m just sharing my POV. no bashing pls.
My boyfriend is like the most annoying creature on earth but I still love him, we were bored the other day and we watched Bruno (This funny show).
There was this scene in the movie the actor starts dancing and shaking his hotdog and it even talks. Well, after the movie he has been annoying me non-stop by dangling his one at me.
There was once I was working from home on my computer and he suddenly came to me and start dangling it while I was doing a skype call with my boss. I started laughing and my boss got annoyed.
Another time he got too close and literally d slap me with it that kinds of piss me off but I kind of like it. LOL
But the problem is he is doing too much of it and sometimes even intentionally slapping me in the face with it. Although sometimes Im angry, I just laugh it off.
But I don’t know deep down i like it a bit but I don’t like it as well. Is there something wrong with me?
The Police has published a media release stating that there has been a resurgence of loan scams.
The scammers will pretend as banks or govt agencies to cheat people of their money. The scammers would often say that there is an admin fee before releasing the loan amount to the victim.
But as usual, paying the admin fee will lead to the scammers disappearing from their victims.
The Police said that there were 17 victims from 1 September to 4 October losing a total of more than $130,000
Victims might receive unsolicited text messages or come across websites or adverts offering loans in these circumstances.
Victims would then be instructed to interact over WhatsApp for the loan application, where the scammers would collect personal information from the victims in order to process the loan application.
Following that, the scammers would notify the victims that the loan had been accepted.
