We have being contacted by a reporter from the Straits Times to look for victims of Internet love scams.
If you or any of your friends have experienced such scam, do step out and share your story because it can help many people to avoid being scammed.
To share the story, please contact us or Carolyn at kcarolyn at sph dot com dot sg.
Please note that the article is due for this coming Sunday (12 February 2012).
I'm Carolyn from the Straits Times.
There has been a rise in internet love scams, up from last year and we're looking at doing a story on victims of Internet love scams and to find out the reasons why they fell prey to such crime.
We're hoping that Scams Singapore would be able to refer us to victims who were scammed before or were close to being scammed. Rest assured we won't mention any names in our story.
By helping us, Scams Singapore would be doing a public service as the stories and experiences would help to serve as cautionary tales for many other Singaporeans.
Hope to hear from you as soon as possible, thanks.
Regards,
Carolyn
