Loan Scam
I saw a loan Advertisement on Facebook and click interested. Shortly after, a man named lexus WhatsApp me to ask more details eg. Loan amount, salary, ic, cpf statements. He mentioned he will process the application and let me know soonest. Within 1 hour, he called to say that the loan is approved. He Whatsapp a screenshot of the transfer into my account. However, when I checked, the amount was not in. I called him and he mentioned that I need to put in an advance payment of $1040 1st before he can release the funds. I made the transfer and he mentioned that i need to pay another $1000 for GST and admin fee. That's when i realised i have been scammed.
