Writing this to bring some attention to recent scam calls from Lazada. The scam calls sounded son legit as the caller said they were from LAZADA CS and found a third party accessing my account. The scammer was able to read out the last delivery address (which is not my house address) and my email.

Following, the caller mentioned to bloacknmy account and cancelled the purchase made. He than ask for the authorisation code sent to my phone number. Luckily in the SMS, LAZADA highlighted not to reveal the OTP (including LAZADA staff). I hanged up the call and the scammer tried to call back 3 times within 4mins.

He stopped after the otp time expired.I must thank LAZADA to remind their members not to reveal the OTP or any code.

At times, when a person panic, he was lost and follow what the other party said, especially when it sounded so legit.

Netizen’s responds:

Netizen A:

yes. never never never let anyone know the OTP that shown on your handphone.not only lazada, even Bank, Telco, Gov, God also cannot. remember OTP. OTP. OTP. OTP. OTP. OTP. OTP OTP OTP .

Netizen B:

Basic rule is never share OTP. Some years ago, the bank will send you OTP and ask you to enter it, when you wanna make account enquiries. With technologies today, the scammer can also ask the same from you. They can use a tone decoder software decode what number was entered… so its never hurt to be more careful

Photos emerged online showing a couple of guys having a picnic on a cycling/running track at a park.

They were seen blocking half the pavement, with bicycles cycling past them.

A netizen expressed concern, highlighting how all it takes is one rider to lose control in an accident and they would become past tense.

Norazlan Abdul Aziz, 44-years-old, a station inspector with the Singapore Police Force, pleaded guilty to causing the death of an 84-year-old pedestrian Lee Swee Huak by driving negligently.

He was subsequently sentenced to 2 weeks imprisonment and banned from driving for 5 years.

What happened?

On 21 September 2017, Norazlan had exited a multi-storey carpark at Block 808 Choa Chu Kang Avenue 1.

He was driving along a service road towards the main road.

The victim was crossing a junction at the time but Norazlan failed to keep a proper lookout and hit the woman with his car.

The victim fell in front of the vehicle and Norazlan then stopped the vehicle for about 3 seconds before driving forward again.

This resulted in both the front and rear tyres of the car running over the victim.

The victim was conveyed to NUH where she died 2 hours later from multiple injuries.
