Pls be aware of such cases going on in your estate by some youths. Earlier today I encountered 2 youths claiming to be from Singapore Poly and doing D2D collections to raise funds for SingYouth Hub.
They quickly raised a few eyebrows when I saw them holding on to “off the shelves’ receipts” which can be easily bought from any bookstore. I asked them to explain more about this donation drive and how I can donate. They merely told me I could just give any amount of money.
However upon checking their permit which they happily produced. It shows discrepancies as the original name has been ‘blanco’ and written with another name. And he claimed that the licensee is him and he is the chief promoter. Both earlier claimed to be 17 and are currently students.
How can one apply for this license? I told them what they did was not according to procedures.
2 red flags and they tried to convince me that what they did is legal and even tried to call their team leader.
I told them to stop whatever they are doing right now and leave the premises. I asked them if what they did was right and they remained silent. I told them to ensure they know exactly what they are doing before they get themselves into trouble. You never know who you are talking to. Someone might know the law better than you.
Soon after, I decided to check online and found discrepancies and the fundraising has already been over since Sept 2019. And a quick call to SingYouth Hub to check, and true enough the campaign is over and the person in charge mention there are no collections today. A search online and you can check the validity of the real permit in the attached photo (which the youth conveniently ‘blanco’ it off.
Some points to note when giving out donations. As much as we love to contribute and help the needy. There are sadly too many scams. 1) Check the details of the event. 2) See their collection license permit. Original must be produced and cannot be tampered. 3) Ask them to identify themselves. 4) Receipts if any, got to have their organization indicated.
Remind the elderly at home not to simply give money to strangers without knowing what is going on.
*Pls beware of anyone going around your residential area looking for you to donate.
