Ever been approached by ex-convicts?

Alvis.. now you know where our $ gone to?

Apparently, those so called ex-convicts selling pen in Orchard Road are… nothing but scammers. If you have ever donated to them, and got a stupid pen, then just treat it as a lesson learnt. Unless, the pen they gave you isn’t working. Then you ought to be banging your hand on the table and screaming out…

Actually, I shouldn’t label those people collecting money/selling pens scammers, according to the article they are unaware of the ‘charity’ activities/background at all. So basically they are just the victims of a larger scam organisation.

To those who have yet to click the thumbnail and read it, do so now!

If you want to donate, the best way to do so is by doing it online or giving the money directly to the organisation.

There are a lot of other scams going around Singapore (mostly MLM related), for example putting in $6000 and getting back 100000% or a gazillion percent of your $6000. That’s sort of stuffs, similar to Ponzi Schemes. Or even on a smaller scale, like this $2 scam.

Again, do not donate to people on the streets without tin cans, even with a license, it may not be genuine ;).

Here’s a better way to donate, just a phone call away to Mercy Relief:
