The same night, Mr Wee made a police report and posted alerts on his social media.
The scam has also affected his daily life as it is “a bit troublesome to entertain” the enquiries from the scam listings – though he added that it “is a must” to do so. A third agent who was targeted said: “They probably want to choose a non-active agent … If not, people can verify .” “The scammer provided the client with an invoice with a proper letterhead, everything, so they called head office to say ... ‘How come your agent didn’t appear ?’Mr Goh continued: “Confirm – it’s a scam, because I don’t do any transactions now ... I know I got zero, so I said: ‘No way!’”“I know this type of scammer wants to reach victims from all angles. I’m exposed … to all these calls every week.
Can't the agent or any other business related to money to open an acount with local bank... That way they only trsf thru different local banks, if they're foreigners they can get a money order to that property agent name or account. That will disrupt the scammer.
