Dear Editors,
I would like to make awareness on this online scam to prevent more people from falling into her trap. I know this girl through Twitter last year when I was searching to buy a KPOP concert ticket in Singapore. She said she have ticket for me and requested that I make the payment directly to her account first.
After I paid, she then said the concert ticket was with her friend and gave all sort of excuses and delaying passing the ticket to me. Eventually the concert was near and she then said her friend was oversea and she will refund us the money when her friend returns back to Singapore. This incident happened last year September and till date I still have not received the refund. I had made a police report this year February and I also managed to get her home address from one of her friend and also stated it in my statement to the police officer. But 5 months had passed and police said she is on the run and did not give any update till now.
Recently I had came across a post on Carousell that was searching for a scammer, the name, HP number, account number are the same as the girl who scammed me. So I contacted the victim and got to know that she is collating the information of all the victims and till date there are 20+ victims and total scammed amount is $7,000+. There may be more victims which we are not aware of. We hope someone who know her, or know any information about her to contact the police and help us to get back our money. Most of the victims are very young, aged 15-20 years old.
