A netizen was shocked after her phone line was cancelled by another man who is not authorised to do so.
Here is the story:
This morning my Starhub phone line was down with no signal at all. Upon verification with the Starhub call centre, I was shocked to be informed that I had called in early this morning to terminate the line.
The agent even keeps emphasizing that termination was done with verification and per call instruction. I am pretty sure that the call was not done by me. After further insisting to check, I was told that the termination was from Mr Chan.
My question to Dear Starhub:
1) The phone line is registered under my own name which is a female name, how did Starhub let Mr Chan terminate the line when he was a guy??
2) For this kind of serious security breach issue, StarHub needs to take 3 days to investigate and to get back to anxious customers??
It makes me worry much about the security breach from StarHub for such ridiculous error and doubt on sincerity from StarHub to investigate and prevent for future occurrence for the benefit of your customers. I still waiting for the agent to get back to me.
A netizen shared her story which sounds like she has been scammed, a delivery came in expecting to get COD from the customer.
Here is the story:
Hi everyone, hope you can help to give some advice. We received a parcel not belonging to us and paid the delivery guy from Roadbull. We did not check and thought my mom ordered it (her name and address on the parcel).
After a while, we checked with her and turned out she did not order the item – then realising there was a suspicious sticker (The yellow box below).
We tried to tear off the sticker and apparently it’s for another recipient. We tried to contact Roadbull the entire Sunday – Monday and the customer service officer says that they are not responsible for anything once the parcel is delivered. which is a very irresponsible thing to do and say when we tried to reach out to them to let them know that there is possibly a COD scam going on.
We also tried to contact the original recipient but she seems suspicious as well – as she did not clarify the situation and simply blocked our number. We are thinking it could possibly be a COD scam.
Reaching out to those who have similar experiences for help! Thanks
Some netizen said that Roadbull don’t do COD
“Roadbull NEVER does COD.
I dont think any other courier companies do COD either. As their job is to only be a courier.Why would companies even trust them to be COD?? Sorry to say but you got scammed. This scam has been happening for quite some time already”
A story was shared online of how a man was told by his girlfriend that she was a conservative woman but ends up sleeping with other guys.
Here is the story:
I am a 22-year-old guy. I have never had sex. Actually, I have never even kissed a girl before. I have only ever been on 1 date in my life. And honestly, I feel really depressed because of this. Whenever I think about this, I am always reminded that I am the guy that has never been worth kissing or dating.
This is not even because I am conservative. I am actually very liberal. I am up for anything. It isn’t even due to a lack of trying. I am on 4 dating apps and honestly, it’s exhausting. I barely get any matches and most people I talk to don’t even proceed beyond a few messages. I usually just get ghosted. IDK what I am doing wrong.
My only romantic experience was with a girlfriend I had for 6 months 5 years ago. She told me she was conservative and therefore wasn’t comfortable doing anything sexual. But she cheated on me by sleeping with one of my friends while we were together. So clearly she was uncomfortable about me and not the activity itself.
I have a lot of close female friends with whom I have very platonic relationships. But I really crave something more. I really crave intimacy. It’s not just sex but just to feel loved, feel cared for, to feel like someone in this world actually gives a shit about what happens to me.
I want some level of exclusivity in my relationships. I also want to have sex with someone I love and someone who loves me and to feel that connection. I want something more than just friendship. When I see other people in happy relationships, it makes me sad, jealous and envious. I am severely depressed because of this and IDK what to do. I have been told to just focus on improving myself and that I will find a girlfriend when it is time but that is clearly bullshit advice because nothing good seems to be happening.
Following the saga of Nick Mikhail’s unhappiness with the officers who inspected his home.
DJ Jade Rasif posted on her insta-story stating that
“so not only do *some* of the male safe distancing ambassadors follow me around and take pictures of me (and it’s not even because I’ve broken rules = I’ve never even received a friendly warning before).. now they come into my house and poke around with no warrant”
She said that there are some SDA’s who take her photo and never face this from female SDAs
“You know I totally understand taking photos and following me if I subsequently get a warning but the fact that I NEVER get warnings OR get treated like this by female officers (who have always been lovely – the ones at ‘ Botanic Gardens even point you to the monitor lizards!) makes me feel like some just use their positions as an excuse to stalk women and now raid their homes”
Following the video of Facebook Nick Mikhail about his unhappiness of officers entering his home to check for COVID-19 breaches. URA has responded and said that safe distancing officers have the power to enter and check without a warrant.
This has brought a number of netizens to be unworried and uncomfortable.
A post has emerged on Facebook about a guy ending his 2.5 years relationship with his girlfriend because the girlfriend is abusive and toxic.
He has been giving in to all her demands, requests and did everything he could to maker her happy.
Now he feels that enough is enough and broke off with her.
However, he felt very empty after he left her.
Here is what he said:
“My gf’s abusive and hence I ended our 2.5 year long relationship a month ago.I really did my best and gave in to all her demands, did everything I could to make her happy, fought for us, yet she continued abusing me.
I remained patient and tried to be calm and caring even when she got violent. In the end I broke. I couldn’t take it anymore and ended things.
For the past month, I have been an emotional and physical wreck.
I have no energy and don’t feel motivated to do anything. I also realized before my gf, I had a very active social life. But since I gave this relationship my all, I have almost no friends now. I am really all alone and feel terrible. I am also now just a shell of myself.
When I emotionally and mentally collapsed a month ago leading to my asking for a breakup, I did not realize how serious the problem had actually alraedy become. It is like my body and mind just gave up. I feel like I have nothing left to give anyone, including myself.
In both school and work, I’ve always been a high achiever, think top 1 percent. I am shocked at how far I have fallen in just weeks. In theory I should be happy, I am finally free of my abuser. In reality I seem to have just become an empty shell.
I thought about getting therapy but after doing some reading it didn’t seem very effective or productive to pay someone to listen to me talk about how bad my relationship was. Like how would it change anything?
I downloaded a dating app but after a few hollow chats, decided it isn’t really for me.
Recently, a girl presumably a Xmm posted on facebook saying that she got cheated by a budget airline pilot.
She said that she first met the pilot on Tinder, and they have been talking frequently and meeting despite his busy flying schedule.
He has made it known to her that he is still close friends with his ex-gf.
She initially felt bad about chasing him away because of his ex-gf, but later realised that they have still been together all the while.
Here’s what she said:
“i got to know a guy from tinder in 2018 and he seemed like a really great catch. He is a pilot flying with a budget airline, so the flights are short and he will text me throughout the day as long as he is not flying. he will also try to meet me after his flights or arrange to have a short coffee even if he might be busy that day.
From the time we met, he was always upfront about being close friends with his ex-gf.
However, there was once i spotted him having lunch with his ex-gf and they did not look like they were just friends.
When i asked him about it, he says that it’s bcos she was still into him and wants to get back together. After that, he started asking me who i was out with when i spotted him and got jealous that i was out with a male colleague for lunch. it was rather sweet, so i did not question his actions further.
A few weeks later, i saw a picture of him and ex on someone’s IG story (cos they were helping out to be extras on a video). i sent him the pic and commented to him that his ex is really pretty and they he should’ve try again with her since she still into him.
He just replied ok and disappeared.
For the longest time, i blamed myself for chasing him away. But i eventually found out that he has been together with his “ex” the whole time we were dating.
He was able to meet me so freely at the beginning because she was overseas! and all that time he suddenly cancelled cos he was “busy studying” was actually bcos she her time was suddenly available.
i am sharing this because i recently found out that i was not the only person that he has told the “ex” story to and dated while being with her. I met someone who said that he tried to ask her out before during the same time frame.
i am sharing this because his gf seems like a really nice girl who doesn’t deserve a scumbag like him. They have been together for so many years and looks like it’s heading for marriage which will be a great mistake for her.
i feel responsible to let her know what he has been doing behind her back. but i also feel bad if i am messing things up for them. Should i?”
