Technorati Profile
Conmen in NUS
Amazing. I thought I was stupid to lose my stuff in the changing room, but how gullible can you be to fall for such an old trick? Maybe the victim was a bleeding heart. Or maybe the conmen threatened to give him/ her a bleeding heart. Or maybe The Stupid Fairy just made a surprise visitation to NUS as well. She sure does get around on campus.
In any event, NUS should make it a habit to give more security alerts like this, especially when they plan tocon students raise fees in the near future (by the way, that means next year).

SECURITY ALERT - CONMAN STRIKES AGAIN!
Campus Security has received a fresh report of a conman and his accomplice operating
on campus. In this latest incident, the victim (a NUS student) had sympathised with
the two suspects and handed over some money - only to realise later on that he was
conned. The suspects (a plump 1.7m tall Chinese male in his 30s with his hair dyed
brown and his partner a plump Chinese female in her 20s who acted as a lookout),
were well dressed in black and claimed that they needed money for accommodation and
meals. The tricksters suggested to the victim to use his ATM card to withdraw money.
They even provided a fictitious business card to the victim.
We strongly advise all staff and students to report strangers asking for money or
behaving suspiciously to Campus Security at 6874 1616 or the Police at 999. DO NOT
hand over cash to strangers or provide accommodation to them.

Anyway, there's another recent case. My HYP-occupied brain smells a good sociology thesis lurking somewhere.
Kind of wish the scammers will approach me. I need someone to take out my stress on.
