Great show on scams. My mother fell for lots of these and we had to clean things up. This included credit card, phone terrorism, draining bank account. His comment on practicing good hygiene is correct - it's the best way to avoid scams. I've had a lot of computing security training and that really helps but it is some amount of work to learn all of this stuff.

Another suggestion is to keep a separate bank account for online banking for daily transactions and squirrel away the bulk of your savings in a fixed deposit account that cannot be accessed via internet banking

Who else paused the episode to go lower their banking transaction limit HAHAHA great episode! Shame on people who scam tho.. should talk about concert ticket scammers too... saw a lot of videos from taylor swift kena scam damn sad sia especially those that came from overseas.

That "daily ketchup" was smooth, great delivery.

Jared, nice and calm intro until.... the wwf rumble announcement.... 😅😅😅

Thanks for sharing!

Question is when a scammer got arrested and victims money sure there are left over confiscated by the police ...after case ended .. where will the dirty money kept by authority? Will authority traced victims and return them some of their money?

Scammer are rarely or never caught . In general it’s 2 “victim of scam” pitting against each other . Victim A will be duped to relinquish bank account to scam syndicate, victim B will be duped to part with his/her money to victim A bank Acc(which is dissipated quickly) with whichever scam scheme he/she falls into

I always get the singpost sms asking me to pay for delivery 😭😭😭😭

“Victims of scam” are mostly motivated by greed and lust . They fail to do their due diligence and was grossly negligent. In their course of scam, these victims will lie and implicate others in their scam ordeal . Many will relinquish their bank/singpass credentials to scam syndicates. One should always do their due diligence and not relinquish personal credentials to scam syndicate.

Any thoughts on the recent ‘quiet on set’ series ?

Yup important episode. Beyond just being scammed. Do check credit cards and all. For fraudulant transactions. At the end of every month just double check the bill. Had a close person who realised credit card was charged serveral fraudulant $1++ over a long period. Which amounted to severall 100s

React to Sylvia’s podcast please

Well said , I wish to add that falling to scam isn’t merely a fool. Their actions are grossly negligible and display lack of due diligence. It is a crime to relinquish personal credentials to scam syndicates(being a victim is not a good excuse for such relinquishment)

"anyone can get scammed theres no one group of people"- wrong. only rich people can get scammed. If my bank no money how they take :D

Algooooooooooo
