Looking for victims who got scammed by this guy named Shafiq Ravi / Shafiq Jade. Basically we just found out he’s a serial scammer and was last seen driving and posting on Instagram with a Nissan GTR.
Act 1) Amount involved: $7k. (2019) Shafiq used my credit card (CC) for his GTR car repairs amounting to $7k since Aug 2019 and promised to pay in cash. But has since MIA-ed. I lent him my CC as he’s a friend of mine for 13 years and I trusted that he would return me the money.
Act 2) Amount involved: $4k. (2019) Shafiq sold “his own Honda Integra” to a guy named Sean Kwan in Oct 2019. Sean paid $4k for the car but Shafiq then later admitted he had earlier transferred ownership to his other friend already. As ownership is no longer transferable to Sean, he demanded for the payment monies of $4k back and this was agreed by Shafiq. However, Shafiq has since MIA-ed without paying back the $4k.
Act 3) Amount involved: $25k. (2017) Shafiq borrowed $25k from a guy named Darren Ng in Nov 2017, whom they got to know of each other in a Lancer car group, of which promised to pay back while giving a different excuse each week and eventually MIA-ed.
Act 4) Amount involved: $2k. (2018) Shafiq borrowed $2k from a guy named Ng WX, whom is a friend of Darren, on Jan 2018, and has since MIA-ed without repaying again.
Act 5) Amount involved: ~$100k. (2019) Shafiq worked at a car rental company, RK Performance Pte Ltd, where his job scope was only to maintain the cars and do the paperwork. Without company approval, he had transferred all the cars to his name and had them towed away overnight. According to Raj Kumar, owner of RK Performance, he had sold off at least one Maserati and a few other cars and is currently being sued in court for selling away company cars without official approval, amounting to ~$100k in company losses.
What intrigues me is how after at least 5 victims (with an accumulative amount of $138k exposed online so far), and possibly others as well looking at the time period between 2017-2019, the Singapore Police Force was unable to have prevented this sooner when the FIRST, or even SECOND victim reported such acts of fraud, and classifies all five cases as civil case and unable to intervene.
Personally, what is even more appalling is the fact where I had received a follow-up call from the assigned Investigation Officer in-charge of my case, on the same day I had reported it (at 07/11/2019, 11:05am) just merely 13 minutes later (11:18am) calling me to tell me that nothing could be done on their end as it was an “isolated incident”. I was thus highly skeptical if ANY form of investigation was done.
If I had not shared my story on social media and found the other few personnel’s who got scammed by this same guy too, I would never have known that this is NOT an isolated case. There were also official police reports made previously from past victims, on the same guy at different timings, but none of the victims knew one another so they were all treated as civil cases. Up to date, all are opened cases meaning none of the victims got their money back. Yes even the one from 2017.
From all the five victims I am in contact with now, had police reports made, where Shafiq used the same form of methods of excuse to continually promise to return at a later date due to whatever reasons, and eventually MIA-ed.
Initially we thought he had blocked us, but a quick check found he has deleted his Facebook, Instagram, and even WhatsApp photo while number still in service.
The respective victims as stated mentioned their Investigation Officers feedbacked the same, “one to one case of breach of agreement, not categorized as criminal offence” and thus unable to intervene in any way as it was only an “isolated case”.
The goal of this post is fairly simple, I would like to reach out to other victims, in hopes to be able to escalate these “isolated cases” to an “social issue”, thus allowing our police force, which has the mission to prevent, deter, and detect crime to ensure the safety and security of Singapore, to be able to take action. Kindly pm me if you were/are also in a similar situation as ours. The amounts in context are not light..

A Malaysian netizen advises drivers to always lock the car even if there is someone in the car.
The incident happened on the 17 November 2019, the driver was with her family and were driving along Muar Bypass(near the second bridge). They went to Petronas a petrol station at the location.
At around 9 pm, her husband went to use the petrol station’s toilet, while she waits in the car with her son. A man suddenly approaches the vehicle, the woman who was worried about what the man might do immediately locks the vehicle.
The man in the photo tried to open the car door, even after realizing that its lock. The man tried to force open the door but failed to do so. She immediately calls her husband and tries to get the attention of passersby by waving at them.
Although there were not many people at the petrol station, a young male notices her and she opened a small gap at the car’s window and shouted for help.
“I don’t know this person! He wants to open my car door! Please call the Police!”
This did not deter the robber at all, even after the husband returns from the toilet the robber was still trying to open the door.
The husband then asked what he is trying to do?
The robber responded: “Trying to start the engine”
The robber later ran away after another customer steps out from his car.
The woman claims that the man waits and petrol station and find potential targets.
