The Singapore Police Force said in a news release earlier today that scammers are pretending to sell bak kwa products from Hock Moon Hiong, a famous brand with seven outlets in Malaysia, ahead of the Chinese New Year demand.

Many have fallen prey and made payment for their orders, only to have the seller disappear with their money.

One of the red flags was the requirement for full payment via PayNow or bank transfer for the barbecued meat.

The police have thus advised the public:

  • If the deal is too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Only buy from authorised or reputable sources.
  • Verify seller’s profile on marketpalces through rating and customer reviews.
  • Always insist on Cash on Delivery.
