Job Scam
I received a friend request notification on Instagram from someone named "Shirley Tan." She claimed to be from KL and working in Clementi. We moved our conversation to WhatsApp, where she mentioned working in Clementi and doing part-time sales jobs for Courts after work. On a day when I was feeling emotionally down due to relationship issues, we had been chatting when suddenly she asked me to help her with a Courts order on her behalf. I started feeling suspicious about the Courts customer service merchant when she sent a WhatsApp message to them. It's worth noting that for the first transaction, she said she would handle it, but for the second one, she pressured me to take care of it. Luckily, I stayed alert.

Please remember not to trust unknown individuals on social networks too easily. Stay aware and cautious!
