Modelling Scams in Singapore

Becoming a model is many girls' dream. Isn't it good that people are paying you because you look good? It definitely makes you stand out from the rest of the common people. Besides, you will get quite a good pay!

However, not many models can really make it to the top. Many local models are simply doing freelance photo shoot and events.

Scammers start to take advantages of the desires of young girls online. Fake social media profiles, such as Facebook accounts, are created and the scammers start hunting for their preys.

Which modelling job will require the client to touch the model?

We have no idea why scammers are doing this when they can pay for willing parties at Geylang and probably at cheaper rate that they have offered to the models online (if they are really paying). Perhaps, they find models more appealing?

We hope everyone would continue to warn model-wannabe friends of such scam. Note that this can and has probably been happening in all around the world.

Heather Chua Scam

A Facebook profile by the name of "Heather Chua" has become a sensation of the internet. The person behind the female account is a male who has been insulting many groups of people. We are quite disgusted by him for cheating photos from models by faking modelling jobs.

According to Yahoo:

Man, 22, under police probe for posting racist remarks under pseudonym ‘Heather Chua’

A 22-year-old man is under investigation by local police for a string of offensive remarks he allegedly posted under the fictitious name “Heather Chua” on Facebook.

In a statement issued on Friday, police said several members of the public have filed police reports against his posts, which angered many Internet users. The first, police said, was filed on 3 January this year.

Police said they determined the 22-year-old’s identity through “extensive investigations”. The man is now assisting police with their investigations.

Police warned also that any person found guilty of promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion or race, and carrying out acts that undermine harmony, can be jailed for up to three years and fined.

Using the moniker “Heather Chua”, the man allegedly posted comments insulting the work of National Servicemen, ITE graduates and Malays, among a series of other things. “Chua”’s posts, which were frequently geotagged to Sentosa Cove, ignited the ire of many Facebook users, prompting the efforts of some to track down who “she” was.

In a recent post, "Chua" told a lengthy story of a friend of hers from Raffles Girls' School who got married to an ITE graduate. "She" claimed that her friend's parents disapproved of their relationship "because of his poor family background and where he came from", adding that they did not attend her wedding while saying how "extremely disappointed in her" "she" was.

Several bloggers accused him of creating fake modelling events in a bid to trick aspiring models to send their portfolio pictures to him. They also said in various posts on Facebook that the photographs of luxury cars “Chua” posts on “her” Facebook profile contain digitally altered licence plates that do not exist on Singapore’s vehicle listings.

The female images used as “Chua”’s profile pictures were also allegedly stolen from Thai actress and blogger Pimpatchara Vajrasevee. The latter also previously took to her Instagram account to call “Chua” out for stealing her pictures, but she allegedly denied doing so in comments on Vajrasevee's pictures.

According to screengrabs of “Chua”’s account, “her” birthday is 25 July 1973, and listed the University of Phoenix, National University of Singapore, Temasek Junior College and Raffles Girls’ School among her places of education.

By Wednesday, the man’s Facebook profile had been taken down.

Beware of Online Selling Scam from Foreign Countries

Recently, there is a growing number of advertisements from suspicious users posted in our local forums for sales of photography gears. The prices that they have offered are quite amazing and the items are new (the forums' sections are actually meant to be for sales of refurnished items). Their member accounts are also new.

When we tried to clarify with one of them, the person told us we had to make payment online while the actual item is located in foreign country.

As a matter of fact, parallel import goods may be cheaper than local ones, partly because of non-local warranty or lower tax; however, if the item cost less than 50% of local price, you should really beware of the catch.

As our local police force may not be able to deal with criminals in every foreign country, we advise everyone not to try luck in all the cheap offers. If it happens that you send the payment via online transfer and the seller does not mail the item over as promised, it may be beyond anyone's help.

Will you purchase electronic items via online from Kazakhstan or Pakistan?

If you have purchased items from such sellers and realised you have been conned, do post your encounter in the comment section below. Meanwhile do spread about this and encourage your friends many things are too good to be real.

Travel Agent Scam

From reader JC:

Hi Guys,
anyone know this freelance travel agent - Ms Kee Kim Noi? (aka Bambi Kee)

Ms Kee Kim Noi, who is a freelance travel agent, claimed that she has linkages with certain airlines and agents, helped several people to book air tickets or packages.

After she made the booking for us with Farmosa travel, she went missing with our money. As Farmosa travel did not receive any payment from her, the booking was cancelled. Ms Kee, apparently went missing with those money. Therefore, would like to see your help if anyone has come across this person or know anyone who has.

She will usually sell you air tickets or packages and asked you to transfer money to her bank account. After which, she will delay issuing the tickets or the tour packages until you give up and wanted to take back the money. Then, she will claimed that the money is delayed with her "agent" and the refund will keep dragging until you do not get a single cent from her.

Would like to connect with anyone who knows her or anyone who has friends who knows her so that we can go to the police together.

Singapore PA Job Scam

Many "rich" people have been trying to find "personal assistants" online. These simple and high paying jobs do attract many young girls. However, how many of them are real? It seems like some of these advertisements are more of attempting to hook girls into dirty jobs.


Taken from Facebook from Bella

HI GIRLS ATTENTION. BEWARE OF THIS GUY CALLED IVAN TAY.
So I'm currently looking for a part time job, and I saw his post on a fb page for singapore part time jobs that he's looking for a PA (personal assistant).
The pay seemed good, I was interested so I texted him.

As you can see in the first screenshot, he seemed pretty polite. nothing wrong there. And he also provided such 'detailed explanations' about what this 'JOB' was going to be like (pui). He said that I would just be helping him take down notes, calculating stuff, run errands etcetc.he EVEN stated in his post that the girl needed to be fluent in the english language. (lol nice try there). So I believed him.

But after that he went on to say that he'll be treating me to my meals, bringing me out to movies with him, drinking with him, clubbing with him and blah. And that he'd even fetch me from my house and back home wheneer i'm 'working'. That's when I started to find it kind of...weird? Like what kind of job is this LOL got so relax one meh..?

Tonight when I texted him about when I could start work, things just got so fucking weird. He even asked if I could start, tonight. Like the very moment I texted him. Like wtf..? Then he went on and told me about his 'past experiences' with a different PA, that she got drunk and he ended up losing his phone and all his money and waking up with her naked beside him. LOL and that he fired her. Like k dude wtf are you trying to prove LOL that you'd reject a girl that comes for free? Give me a break I'm not stupid.

So he suddenly went all like 'aiya i better not hire you for midnight la scared you drunk then i cnt control myself' like wtf is with that? He then proceeded to ask me 'unless you're okay with mutual sex rs like that with me then i'm cool with it ' EW WTF??? EW EW EW????
AND BEST PART IS HERE. WHEN I TOLD HIM THAT I WASN'T INTERESTED ANYMORE, HE WENT ALL 'oh ok anw you're not gna be pa-ing for me, you're going to be doing it for a singaporean celebrity' LOL THEN WHAT'S WITH ALL THAT CRAP YOU JUST SAID ABOUT SEX WITH YOU?? GIVE ME A BREAK PLS HAHAHAHAA.

Guys like him should just be publicized in my pov, god know's how many other girls he's said such gross things to or maybe even managed to fuck before. So beware guys. Heres his fb : https://www.facebook.com/vandezvouz?fref=ts

Spreading of False Information to Create Public Panic

Although social media has helped people from all over the world to share news instantly and counter false news from mainstream media of countries that are being controlled by their autocratic rulers, there are also attempts of users using it to create public panic.

Accordingly to Yahoo!SG Newsroom, someone has tried to spread rumours about food from Thailand.

We hope the culprit will be taken to court soon.

HOAX ALERT
The AVA has confirmed with the Thai embassy that the following message is untrue:

Emergency notification:
Try not to eat canned food especially those canned fruits manufactured from thailand . There were 200 over HIV carriers instructed by their leader to contaminate the products of the canned food factory by their blood.
The information was confirmed by the government this morning. In order not to let the people get infected after eating, many types of canned food had been removed from the shelves of the supermarkets.such as longan, lychee, rambutan and mango pudding.
Pls send to people you care. Prevention is better than cure! Pls don't buy canned food from thailand.

Please refrain from spreading it further.
