This is not the first time something like this has happened in Singapore. Back in 2016, Police received several reports of fake accident scams. In these cases, the suspect would claim to be knocked down by the victim’s vehicle and request for compensation for his alleged injuries. The victims had paid the suspect between $26 and $50.
