it seems that the two emails is exactly the same, same in spelling and grammatical errors, while the sender seems to kept on reminding us that they have been to other countries, being a medical doctor by profession, and yet write such terrible English!!
and somewhere between the lines, the scammers seems to think that we the desperate tenants will not be able to detect such discrepancies and still think that we will be cheated of their ruthless tactics. the pictures are enticing but a room of SGD500 and located in areas of Novena seems a bit out of place since i did some research on rentals in that particular area and about 10km of radius from Orchard, seems a bit unlikely that such a nice place (as of the pictures) can cost so cheaply. and if you look closer, the structural integrity of the rooms in the pictures taken do not seems to match each other.
i sincerely hope that these scams will stop, singapore government has been trying very hard to promote singapore as a good destination to work, study and live in, and these scams will only spoilt the opportunities from going further.
the following are the email correspondence that i have gotten before i realised it is a scam (luckily i have not sign up any deal since i am not in singapore)

it seems that the two emails is exactly the same, same in spelling and grammatical errors, while the sender seems to kept on reminding us that they have been to other countries, being a medical doctor by profession, and yet write such terrible English!!
and somewhere between the lines, the scammers seems to think that we the desperate tenants will not be able to detect such discrepancies and still think that we will be cheated of their ruthless tactics. the pictures are enticing but a room of SGD500 and located in areas of Novena seems a bit out of place since i did some research on rentals in that particular area and about 10km of radius from Orchard, seems a bit unlikely that such a nice place (as of the pictures) can cost so cheaply. and if you look closer, the structural integrity of the rooms in the pictures taken do not seems to match each other.
i sincerely hope that these scams will stop, singapore government has been trying very hard to promote singapore as a good destination to work, study and live in, and these scams will only spoilt the opportunities from going further.
