There are many variations of scams that target men with “needs”. Here are a few that was lost to scammers.
Locanto Girl
I came across this girl on Locanto ad.
I got tempted. I then proceeded to the place and she didn’t show up. However, another guy called me and told me to buy cards for her. I gave a copy of my NRIC as well.
He kept on coming for more but I got enough of the threaten and took it as a lesson learn. the guy told me to pay him if not he would come my house and threaten my family and I thought after giving some amount of money, he would be gone but he kept on coming so I told myself: “i am very stupid to be scammed by people online” and I would like to advise everyone to be careful of these scams.
I am a victim and I would not want anyone to be part of it as well. report to the police if he/she continues to harass you!
OKC Girl
MEt this girl online call ting on okc changed over to wechat and continued talking over said ahe provided “services”
Asked to meet up with her didn’t know what i was thinking at that time but on that day itself she asked for my contact number after a while her boss called ah long contacted me asked to transfer over the initial fee of 150 through an app that was texted over through the girl razer silver and gold than when the transfer not successful was told to buy iTunes/razer cards from 7 eleven, q50 became 400 400 became 1200 and when he asked for another 2000.
By the time I realize it was already too late and it was likely a scam. Got threatened by the guy saying he would come find my family and i straight reported to the nearest police station headquarters to lodge report. I always thought i would be smart when these kinds of things happened and I guess not.
I hope others wouldn’t fall into the same trap as i did. In total lost 1500 but gained a valuable lesson in life.
