BEWARE: CON MAN THAT CHEATS BY DOING “HOME RENOVATION”
Hi, this is Raymond representing Fineline Design Pte Ltd. Please help us to share, this con man is still cheating around. Hope you can help us to educate ID firms and home owners, many thanks.
https://www.facebook.com/pg/FINELINE.FDS/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1469…
To All ID Firms/Dream Home Seekers,
We would like to warn the public with regards to the following guy Mr Lum Yew Khuin(a.k.a Eric Lum who is currently in his forties). The Police have reviewed and we noted that this serial ‘con man’ have been
associated with a number of similar scams with different ID firms, their staffs, suppliers, contractors, sub-contractors and unfortunately the customers. He was recently employed under our firm since Nov 2016, and during his stint here, he had been discreetly borrowing money from fellow colleagues and workers alike in the context that his feeble old mother is in the hospital and required immediate medical treatment.
Suspicion arose when he started giving excuses for not showing up at work, and missed important appointments with customers. We also made multiple calls to him, but he remained uncontactable to our calls. It was only when we made a visit to his registered address to check on his well-being, that we found out that Eric Lum had sold the unit years ago. The current owner also informed us that there had been a number of unknown visitors that came knocking and looking for this same person named Eric Lum.
After further investigations, we found out that he was also employed by another ID firm whilst being under Fineline Design’s employment. He had been using the same tactics to con customers and absconded with the deposit, from the basis that he can get cheaper material elsewhere thus for the cash/cheque payment to be made to his name directly. His line is currently still available and it seems like he still can be
contacted via his mobile (HP : 8543 3132). Therefore we have reasons to believe that he might still be under the employment with other ID firms who are still in the dark, and possible individual home owners that might be still dealing with him.
After serious consideration, we decided that it is only appropriate that we share this unfortunate incident to warn the public against him. We have lodged a police report as well and it is currently under investigation. We would also to take this opportunity to inform all home owners out there to never ever issue any cash or cheque payment payable directly to any Sales Designer (be it with Fineline Design or with any other ID Firms). The only way to protect and safe guard your interest is to strictly issue cheque payment payable directly to the Company’s name. Please verify and check through all terms and conditions thoroughly when signing the contract as there will always be important information on the appropriate payment method and procedure.
Lastly, please be informed that Eric Lum is no longer a staff associated with Fineline Design. For affected customers, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and will work towards completing your project. Please note that as this case is already under police investigation, we shall not make further comment after this post. Thank you for sharing.

3 NEW MRT STATIONS AT TUAS
Netizen Tawfik Daud’s facebook post went viral after he “exposed” the 3 upcoming MRT stations being built in the Tuas area. Tawfik took a picture of a peeled off MRT Map and underneath it revealed the stations Tuas Crecent, Tuas West Road and Tuas Link.
Were you aware of these new MRT stations or was it just as surprising to you? Tuas residents are you happy that your home prices will rise soon because of these increased transport connectivity?
Man Steal Over 200 Cans Of Milk Powder. Got So Hungry For Milk Ah?
A 34 year old man have been arrested by the police for his suspected involvement in a series of milk powder thefts from supermarkets all over Singapore. This all stemmed from a police report lodged on 6 March, that indicated that 24 tins of milk powder had been stolen from a supermarket along Turf Club Road.
Now, the question is, how did the man managed to steal 24 tins of milk powder and walked out of the supermarket? Surely someone would have seen this? And surely, carrying 24 tins of milk is a bit ridiculous? Who would use 24 tins of milk in a short space of time?
Incredibly, when police raided the suspect’s residence, a further 200 tins of milk powder were also found. Possible case of stealing the milk powders and selling it to make money? So desperate to make money to live in expensive Singapore?

Nicknamed the “Sunglasses Auntie” for her habit of wearing sunglasses even at night, the woman has been terrorizing her neighbors by throwing salt, oil, litter and even urine outside her flat.
She even placed used sanitary pads on her bicycle and use her bicycle as a trash bin.
Initially, she threw the urine at her door till her door rusted. So she had no choice but to barricade that area.

SG MAN GOES TO JAIL FOR STABBING WOMAN TO ROB $30
Did you know?

“It was hard to believe that a 16-year-old was carrying around a knife and stabbed my daughter even after she gave him money.”
Singaporean to CPF: Stop shifting the goal post, I entrusted my money in you because i was not given a choice.
Dear CPF Board,
You are the appointed agency to manage my retirement fund, which comes from my monthly contribution from the day I started working. I had no options to self manage my fund, or to appoint better fund manager. In short, I was forced to work with you. Nonetheless, I thank you for the hard work all these years to provide me an impressive 2.5% interest on my contribution. I ought to be grateful that my money is still there. If not, don’t tell me about it. Don’t drop hints either. That is a bad habit you have acquired over the years and I am highlighting it today as feedback.
When we first began, we agreed for a complete withdrawal when I get to 55 years old. That would be more than 3 decades from my first contribution. It was an absolute peach to you. Even the worst local bank would offer me more than 2.5% for a crappy structural deposit on a 10 year term, capital guaranteed. If I use them, I would be able to do an early withdrawal my funds before maturity, albeit with a penalty charge. You could certainly do better than 2.5% for a complete lock in for no withdrawal option for 3 decades. Never mind about the yield. We are friends and it hurts our relationship if we get too calculative. That is why it is unacceptable for you to charge me an interest for any loan I take from my own money. We should give and take but unfortunately, you are the only one enjoy the taking till now.
Things turned a nasty corner when you begin to think it is rightful for you to dictate my retirement age and how to live my life. We agreed on a complete withdrawal at 55 years old at the beginning of our contract. You revised it, because you told me you cared for me. So you suggested 60, then 63 and now you are urging me to stretch my non-withdrawal to 65 years old, by giving me a bonus of $1,200 for a 2 year extension. that would amount to a total of more than 40 years of keeping my money with you. Oh, is that how things work around here? I would have offered you $12,000, to withdraw my money 20 years earlier. I would if I could, if you have the money to return me in the first place.
I must apologise for my lack of faith in you but that has been lost ever since you told me I would not be withdrawing my retirement fund at whatever age you decided, and the goal post is still shifting as we speak. Instead you told me I will receive only payouts like an unemployed working receiving handouts from Centrelink in Australia. The key difference is, the Australian Government pays the unemployed from tax receivables and the money I left with you, come from my pocket. Despite that, you think you have the right to hold a bulk of my money in which you called Minimum Sum, and even tell me I will receive no payouts if I fail to accumulate enough money beyond your Minimum Sum. Thus, I cannot help but wonder if the Minimum Sum is created to keep me alive or to keep you afloat.
Over the last 15 years, you have dropped too many hints to suggest things are not exactly in a pink of health within. I do not want to interfere with your affairs but do not make me pay for your mistakes. I entrusted my money in you because I was not given a choice. It is more than a privilege for you, an entitlement in fact. Do not abuse it. This is not a warning, just a simple advice from a friend.
Sincerely,
Your friend
