Falling into scams

Hi members, I recently made a new friend on tinder. He introduced me a platform to earn some money. I felt kind of sceptical about it, so I only put in $100. He told me there were loopholes, I didn’t really understood what he meant by that as my Chinese wasn’t very good. The platform seems more like a gambling page where you bet big or small. So because of this so call “loophole” I made $5 on my first day. The next day I tried it again, and made another $7 before my account got blocked. Tried to contact the customer service, they mentioned that I was exploiting these loopholes and have caused major financial losses to them. So they gave me an option to top up 10x the amount of my current account balance or they will report to SPF for fraud. When I top up my account, I’m required to give them my bank account number, a copy of my IC front and back. Went to Google, and seen similar cases of victims being scams by these syndicates. Anyone encountered such thing as well?

I believe gambling sites are illegal in Singapore. You can make a police report and tell them about the site.

Will I get myself into trouble too? As I indirectly took part in such gambling.

"He introduced me a platform to earn some money. " This should already ring alarm bells and yet you put in $100.

"The platform seems more like a gambling page where you bet big or small." Another alarm bell moment. Gambling. This test if you are a gambler.

"So because of this so call “loophole” " This is to test if you are greedy.

"So they gave me an option to top up 10x the amount of my current account balance or they will report to SPF for fraud" This is their scam. and fear tactics to scare you into putting in more money.

 

If you had top up money and gave them your IC and account no. I think you are the kind of Goondu they are looking for?

Who the hell give account no. and IC to strangers?

 

Better report to the police if you had given them your IC and bank account and money!

 

I am sure the scammers already know you are a sucker.

sadly sg and actually the whole world got a lot of stupid low iq people

 

We are all vulnerable to fall for scams.  

 

So if it happens to you, don't feel stupid or of low IQ.  It can happen to the best of us.   Simply learn your lesson and take more precautions against scams.
