“I was asked by my friend to download this trading app called *name withheld*.

There was a welcome gift of 500 in app coins and a $200 referral reward, which enticed me.

So i deposited $2k into the trading app and started “trading”, whatever that means.

I had no idea what I was doing, I didn’t know anything about trading and so I just messed around and anyhow pressed the buttons.

I was inside this “equities” page and just playing around with the trading app, buying some stocks that I had no idea about.

Within minutes I saw that the price had grown a lot, so I just pressed sell.

Turns out I had made a profit of about $2478 from trading and I almost sh*t in my pants.

It’s true guys, beginners luck really exists.

Of course I spent the money, it felt like it fell from the sky, and I bought a new iPhone with the money I made from trading.”

Editor’s note: Eh bro, trading and investments really so easy one meh? Guys little word of advice, trading is volatile and unpredictable, so unless you know what you’re doing, please don’t follow this guy and “anyhow press buttons” when trading.

You could lose all your money lol.

A netizen shared on Facebook that she received a text message from the number +6590240000 which is allegedly Starhub’s number asking her to update her MyStarHub app.

Suspecting something amiss, she went to the app store only to realise that there is no update button.

She eventually called Starhub Customer Services who told her that the message she received is not sent by Starhub as if it is from Starhub, the sender name will be Starhub and not a +65 number.

A netizen has shared on Facebook an incident he witness when he went to buy breakfast at a Koufu outlet at Yew Tee Point this morning (5 Oct).

Apparently, there was an elderly uncle who refused to scan the safe entry check in and just made his way into the outlet, ignoring the Koufu staff who chased him to ask him to follow the procedures.

The staff, who is an auntie, could not do anything in the end as she was afraid that the uncle would turn aggressive.

The netizen wonders if there is any way to deal with irresponsible people like the uncle, who refuses to comply with the proper procedures in place.

He also mentioned that the Uncle’s actions will endanger the public in the instance that he is positive or close contact with a positive case, he would not be traceable due to him not checking him.

He ends off by asking if Koufu staff can be empowered to refuse selling him any food for refusal to follow the proper safe entry procedures.
