I have no sympathy for Jerald or any scammers. Whatever circumstances he suffered does not justify what he did to others. It was not a spur of the moment idea. He preyed on his friends and weaknesses that he saw. My family was a victim of a pair of scammers. Using religion, they worked their way into our family and scammed us not only of money but caused my family to break apart and destroyed our lives. We are still picking up the pieces. I was in depression and suicidal. If not for the support of my good friends and regained faith , I would be dead. Can going to jail compensate for the pain and suffering we are still experiencing now? No. To the scammers that harmed my family and all scammers out there. I hope that every cent you scammed brings you nothing but misery and failure whatever you use it for. All the pain, hurt and suffering you caused to your victims, let these haunt you everyday and may these be returned to you a thousand fold over every lifetime
No excuses; and his whole life is about blaming others for his failures. He lacks basic discipline and ownership. Society will teach him what he has not learned either from parents or by himself . I was born into a much, much more dysfunctional family where abuse and violence were the daily diet. I myself had been thrashed and beaten like an animal, into unconsciouness - with skin bleeding countless times . He was a gambler, my father; never worked for a single day in his life. His words were more colorful than the rainbow. I was almost killed when he strangled me with a belt , as I started learning to fight back to protect my mum and 5 other younger siblings. He set a bad example and I vowed I wld grow up well, nevertheless. Today I have raised a nice family, my kids have gone to uni. My house is fully paid and I can retire comfortably. Yet , he is still alive. To me , he doesn't matter since when I was a teen. But I still give him allowance and helped in his medical fees even tho I cant bring myself to call him " father ". There were many times I wished him dead when young, and had thoughts of running away. It all boils down to the self.Jerald lacks morals, discipline and empathy for other's suffering. He will hurt more people when he comes out unless he goes for counselling and perhaps some med. treatment. He could be a pyschopath.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story. I will copy and paste and send to my family group chat where 8 teenagers are part of it. I commend you for what you had done. Great job! And yeah... I think so too - Jerald is a Psychopath (i've watched so much docu about narcs and psychos).
You are an honorable man. Sadly society does not seem to be teaching Jerald. He should at least have been sentenced to pay back the money he stole. Jerald still seems to blame others and he lacks empathy for his victims.
Basically you are abused, bit still not exceed your mental threshold and transformed into psychos, psychopaths. When do you think mental patients comes from?
Jerald is a narcissistic sociopath/psychopath. He is a parasite and always will be, counseling will not change that. Society won't teach him anything, he'll simply adjust his tactics. The whole story about his mother and grandmother are rife with exaggerations and crocodile tears, he only cared about what they could do for him, not the other way around. Pity plays are a verrry common go-to tactic for every narcissist when they get caught: playing the victim, claiming hardships, faking remorse, etc., etc. None of it is real, it's just another scam, and that scam continues to steal from his existing victims by sucking sympathy for their very real suffering away from them in both the courts and the general public. People, don't ever, ever be party to that; you not only help the narcissist injure their victims further, you help them prey on more future victims. So maddening and heartbreaking for all of those people he defrauded and hurt, they deserve far better justice than that measly sentence. They seem like such good, kind people..
I don't believe this scammer , he cheated so much money and never take care of her mom ( look at the house condition ) so much money you do not even ask some cleaner to clean up the house ? after all this he is still using his mom as an excuse !! Jailing him is too light a sentence :(
A lot of respect for SPF for combing through the details thoroughly again to ensure they caught the right culprit. While there may be less victims with a hasty arrest, the integrity of the investigative process should not be compromised, lest the criminal be alerted and dispose of evidence. Hope the victims and their families can process what they've been through and regain trust in other people eventually.
Honestly, it is so so difficult to empathise with him and at the end of the day, he is still so selfish and only thinking for himself -- there's no mention of feeling guilty or sorry for the victims. He has caused so much harm to his victims and it is so shameful and 68 months is indeed too light a sentence. In order to repay debts from hospital bills, there could have been other alternatives instead of scamming people.
Truly a excellent documentary. It can be watched and understood on so many levels. On one level, it serves as a cautionary tale for us common people that could be potentially be scammed. On another level, it serves as a cautionary tale for people whose moral compass is malleable and may be tempted into scamming others. The description of the apartment during raid and the unfortunate passing of the mother points to the fact how guilt and shame destroys oneself - a retribution (bao yin) - consumes our soul, our mind, and our body. Congratulations CNA! World class indeed! Keep producing these world class documentary and journalism. So far beyond the downfalling western media nowadays
He went to so much effort just to scam USD110k over 4 years…if he had continued working in the initial customer service role, minimally he would have made the same or even more after 4 years…
I was physically and mentally abused during childhood by my father who divorced my mother when I was five. How he was given custody I will never know. However, in all my years I have never scammed or cheated anyone. To me, using the trauma of childhood abuse as an excuse for committing crime is the easy way out of taking responsibility for one's actions.
I am a single child with a neglectful father who have destroyed my family. I was also a scam victim and I never want this to happen to anyone. A shitty background is no excuse to be an evil person
moral of the story: 1. Don’t date your boss 2. Don’t work in SME, anyone can print a namecard saying they are a CEO 3. If your estranged primary school classmate suddenly reach out to you, ignore them.
This documentary is so overwhelming. Totally in disbelief that someone can go to the extent to scam others. The scammer really had a well thought out plan that made his victims suffered so much. After 'hearing' his part of the story, it is still difficult to sympathise with him. Probably due to his emotional trauma in childhood, that was not the way to gain respect and for people to treat him well. I would say there is a lack of social support when he is in distress, be it from his family, his school, and the society. If he was counselled at the initial stage, he may turn out differently.
Problem was, he didn’t display any red flags at that time. His friend said he was quiet, boy that don’t give problems in class. So basically he was outside of the radar. How to counsel or listen la 😭
I'm not sympathetic. You can't control your circumstances but it's your choice on how you answer them. This guy brought immense pain and suffering to those around him just because of his personal situation? Disgraceful
@@20pointer if it were that simple I'm sure he will have not gone so far. I can assure you that such people have complex personality and part of the solution is to lock them up and let them to reflect on themselves.
There’s always a choice. No money, seek assistance from SSO. Difficulty in paying for hospital bills? Seek assistance from the medical social worker. Life is overwhelming, grief over grandma’s and mum’s health? Seek assistance from a counsellor. Many people have grown up in a single parent family. How many have chosen to be conmen? It’s all about choices. Admit your mistakes and choose to do the right things. Stop hiding behind your disadvantaged childhood, Jerald Low!
Jerald - the scammer should be sentenced to LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT BAIL for the money he took from the victims. let him feel the pain the victims went through. He's an Evil person. Hell is waiting for him. His mother died because of him.
Jerald's excuse using his grandmother's illness, shame on him. If they pulled cctv footage from the hospital where his grandmother stayed at, for sure no doubt, he 99% never even visited her.
It never stops to amaze me how much hard work scammers put into their plans. They put in their time, effort, and energy to make their scams work. If only, they had better guidance.
Having a difficult childhood doesn't give anyone any excuse to scam anyone. No one can escape the long arm of the law in Spore. Minister Chan Chun Sing came from a single family too. He excelled in Hwa Chong JC and was awarded a prestigious scholarship to study at Cambridge. Look for an inspiring role model!
Although I applaud the police for finally serving justice for the victims, they took way too long (4 years). I had a case once and the police dragged it for 7 months. During the 7 months, i was assigned to an IO and she was not doing anything despite me emailing her many times to check the status. After a good 3 months, she told me that my case will be handled by someone. Left a super bad impression.
I nvr understood them, Like yes if we do lodge a report the first thing they would have to do is investigate, but why its kinda annoying how long they take to investigate when we provide all the evidence including face pics, phone number, bank acc number , what happened
I was a supervisor of a particular franchise which was broken into the following month I left the job. My ex colleague told me what happened and being one of the keyholders I was expecting to be called in. It took the police 1 year to call me in for interview, by that time I already forgotten certain details they were asking (where we place the earnings and accounts etc) I was astonished by their absurdity and efficiency level. There was another theft in another branch which was reported by me and the culprit was caught but I was never updated. After 3 years I received a letter signed by a specific IO informing me out of the blue that culprit has been sentenced and they thank me for helping with their investigations. Curious, I called the IO who signed the letter and asked him which case he was referring to. He had no idea what I was talking about. What do u mean your physical signatures is on it don’t u read what u signed on? I gave him the case number and he still remained very helpless (hello this is the computer age) . After a couple of weeks he finally found out which case he was writing amour . To this day I was amused but at the same time I felt really insecure about the lack of efficiency and common sense local police operates by, despite our low crime rate.
They say the Singapore justice system is strict but I feel it failed to adequately punish and rehabilitate Jerald and allow Jerald to make reparations for the harm he caused. Jerald's statements in this video prove that all he has is self pity and he does not seem to have any empathy with his victims. One of his victims was his own mother who had to suffer the indignity of knowing in her final days that her son was a criminal and she had to visit him in jail. Jerald's jail time may have been adequate but he was made to pay a fine of $1800 which is completely out of proportion to the funds he stole.
Across 4 years, he scammed only $110,000 USD? If he actually worked, he could end up saving nearly that amount (or more) across those 4 years, and would have also saved himself the trouble, jail time, and charges. He also missed his mum's funeral and lost everything. All for just $110k.
Yes 4 years of hard work and another 5 years of not being in jail you could earn and saved more. Sometimes when I see criminals put so much effort in stealing if only they could use the same effort legally.
He willfully cheated innocent victims, premediated and ruined their lives. There is no rehabilitation for someone who seems to be a serial scammer. I have no remorse for a sociopath and skilled manipulator like him, he deserves no pity when he shed his crocodile tears. My only sympathy goes out to the victims and that he wasn't locked away for longer for the slew of crimes he committed.
He scammed people he personally knew. One was a childhood friend. He used relationships to scam them. How can anyone even think that someone they know their whole life would scam them?
This is the reason why i choose to live peacefully.. Peace to myself and others.. Lead a normal life.. Just be happy with what i have.. Doesnt need to be rich.. Just be grateful with what i have..
Despite scamming over $100,000 from various people including his friends, he still lives in an almost dilapidated environment with rubbish sprawl all over the house. Even though he was mentioned as one having not many friends, he still managed to gain trust from people whom were mere acquaintances at the start. This isn’t easy and takes skills to persuade and convince people. I believe if Jerald put his communication skills set to good use, he would have been a more successful person.
I don't think he feel remorse about what he has done. no mentioning or apologizing to his victims, I bet he don't even remember who his victims are. The reason for scamming is bullshit anyways. He spends more money on luxuries then on his mother or grandmother. Karma always strikes, it won't be on you but it will go to someone close to you.
Objection to your interpretation of Karma. According to Buddhism beliefs, karma only affects one person and the same person in his next lives. That is enough to cover a number of scenarios.
This is absolutely crazy, wild thing is he was still sentimental, he could’ve ran when he had the money from Sam, moved to a cheaper country and actually started businesses there, made money and disappeared completely but he still cared enough about his family not to disappear. The sentimental psychopath… I am empathetic to his plights but not to his actions, he deserves more than the 67 months he got.
I'm planning for a business and have constant battles with trying to alleviate as much risks from my partners and opportune investors to have everyone's best interest in mind but wow, this scamming mindset is a whole other level of scorched earth for personal gain.
There was no misunderstanding, Jerald is a liar through and through. Lawyers will give excuses for their clients. Jerald deserves prison and not mingle with society.
He deserved every bit of shitty things life throws at him. I was a victim of a scam, I know how sucks it is to be cheated of your life’s savings that you worked so hard for.
In case anyone needs it, you can request to suspend a phone line contract. It won’t be considered as termination. There will be limitations. E.g. SingTel will let you suspend up to 12 months, at $10.70 per month. However this is better than paying full fee every month for a service you don’t want anymore.
Stop using your mum and grandmother as an excuse. There was no apologies, everything is about you, "I have lost everything", "Prison was not worth it", "Ppl laugh at me" .. What about your victims?
If he really loved his grandma so much then for her sake, he shouldn't scam others. I'm very a hundred percent sure that his late grandma will NEVER approve what he did to others.
The same goes for many big time drug dealers… if they put all of that effort, time & energy into something legit, they would likely thrive & not have to constantly look over their shoulder & fear jail!
For such small amount 67 months is very harsh. There were many cases where millions were scammed. And these scammers only sentenced to 5 years the most.
@@solomonlee4503 The serial nature of the offending, offending while on bail, the perversion of justice by trying to get another person to take the blame all needs to be taken into account. He actually got off very lightly, he did not even have to pay back the money he stole. Imagine if you were a police officer who spent months trying to untangle this mess while Jerald is on bail and still offending...
Lesson to take away: There are consequences to your actions, and the law and justice will always catch up to you, one way or the other, no matter how long it takes.
@@johnly9135 *"the police waiting for him for the right time"* Police waiting for him FOR the right time? Try this: THE POLICE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR HIM *_AT_* THE RIGHT TIME. *Don't you Asians learn English at school? Singaporeans are **_supposed_** to be highly educated people, your students are **_supposed_** to be high achievers in maths, science, etc. etc. etc. Your citizens are **_supposed_** to be fluent English speakers. Judging from your idiotic post, I wonder if these stories are just another exaggeration, just another hype to make your little island stand out from the rest of South East Asia. Everything about Singapore seems to be exaggerated to some degree, from your founding prime minister who was made to look like some sort of a super human nation-builder with an IQ of 1000, to your current prime minister whose intellectual capabilities are hyped up by the local press in order to make him look like some sort of a Chinese Churchill. What a joke of a country. You can't produce ONE single Nobel laureate in the sciences even after 60 long years of independence, but claim to be smarter than the rest of the planet. Simply pitiful.*
even inside prison, he still seemed to not feeling guilty for the victims, he just kept on lamenting his fate. too bad my family like this, too bad my grandma sick, too bad my mom passed away, in short, too bad i got caught.
I was been bullied too and looked down by others including my family members but it doesn’t mean that I have to be a monster. Try to forgive yourself and others. To others, don’t judge Jerald too much but learned from it, we are not that really good. Good choice of music at beginning of the video and I felt like I’m owning the high end apartment. Good job CNA. Please produce more documentaries as good as this. I am a fan of crime documentaries.
Just 5years? Where got enough, such scammer should just stay in jail forever…the harm that you cause to others are even more then what you think, what worse are mentally whereby people have lost trust in each other…. Never be soft hearted to scammer
Tragedy in a number of ways. In the later part of the vid, we saw him accompanying his mom back after attending medical appointment. He was arrested at the lift lobby. That is a scene that could have been me. I see myself in that scene. It could have been another typical Singaporean too. Mistake, don't take short cuts in life. Cheating is a fast way and often a temporary way. BUT some cheaters do benefit from cheating and still living well being a scammer. This is a medium level scamming which exposes the failure of local companies fraud detection protocols. It becomes serial because the authorities did not stop him fast enough. A scammer is rewarded with getting away doing a crime, so he/she tends to commit another scam and it becomes routine. I have a relative who had also taken the path to cheat own family members' trust. These days, there are big time scammers around. The police are unable to catch them. They can only catch small local petty thieves. I believe there are scammers who operates on International level. Back to his case, so he tried to cover his tracks with false police reports and he had some friendly help. He is sentenced to 67 months in jail, and that equals to 5.5 years. He real home was a mess. I looked at my room and it was a mess too but liveable. His family should be covered by the social safety net of Singapore but such cases still is seen. Singapore is becoming a more complicated place. Scammers exist too in the past. But now the situations are constantly changing and becoming more complicated by Capitalism. You can make money putting trust into financial products and MLMs which border on trickery and hardselling, but in China, the bank suddenly don't recognize the deposits. Anything can happen. Foreigners are many making money by the tons. The urge to get rich quick is there. Lastly, sympathize with the lady on her first job. Her family , father helped her out of a bad situation.
He is a confident conman with very creative, criminal mind. If he used his talents and skills in legitimate business, he could have gone far. But he chose the other way. Hope he gets rehabilitated, take some courses while in prison and when he gets out, he will be a better man and a contributing member of the society. The prison is not to punish the criminals but to rehabilitate.
Great production, very informative and thrilling. Jarold is a criminal genius but the SPF was relentless in their efforts to unmask him. I feel pity for Jarold's victims but they bear responsibility for being gullible. The office girl preferred Jarold's assurances to her father's cautionary advice. Terrence thought here was an opportunity to ride a wealthy friend's coat-tail to instant prosperity. Sam was blinded by his intense lust could not see that it was he who had swallowed Jarold's lies hook, line and sinker. The love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:8) and scamsters can smell the stench of greed from a mile away. Beware.
As the saying goes if u got nothing nice to say then pls keep your mean comments to yourself. Stop judging people. Your train of thought is dangerous to put out there as it is typical victim blaming, as is the main reason why scam victims are so ashamed they don’t speak out and many do not make reports for fear of being judged. In case u r not aware his victims are all very young , fresh in society and one gal was even mentally unstable which made her vulnerable to scams. Following the incident the victims all went through a period of self blaming (the ex classmate in particular thought himself was a lousy person and couldn’t forgive himself) the gal mental illness worsened .
I don't have any pity for this whole family. Karma should fall on them for damaging so many other families and lives. Still can't believe this can happen in Singapore.
I think the most giving clue is the title of the video "TINDER" swindler. The documentary really tries its best to protect the dignity of the people who were swindled in a way they don't talk too much about the intimacies the convict had with them but the trickery. As pitiful as Jerald's plight, he got so blindsided and went the wrong route of solving his problems. I f-ing hate scammers, so I don't pity him a single bit. He's an adult, so I won't give leniency to the way I think of him.
1.Why should Sam pay for the money that Jerald scammed him from? Shouldn’t the money be repaid from Jerald’s assets? 2.During the day of arrest, how did the police get the information of Jerald’s mother appointment date and time? If the mother did not commit any crime, is it right for the hospital to release this personal data to the police?
SG police has all the privileges and rights to check on personal identification including your ancestry and relatives if you have deemed to be suspected of committing any offence. That’s their duty and responsibility.
1. Yes, and if Gerald has no assets he needs to work and earn money until his debt is payed. 2. Yes, in order to arrest Jerald and prevent more crime and harm.
He did not learn from his lesson!!! I was in the same cell with him in the prison and he lied to everybody he meet in the cell!!! Said that he is being con etc and claiming that he have 3 condominiums at orchard and instructed fellow inmate to do things for him in return for money when he released from prison!!!
What I fail to understand; is the fact that all those people, the "victims" were taking cars, phones on themselves, not on the company cards, checks, Jerald's accounts? How would they even be accountable for those goods afterwards if the items were supposed to be bought or leased for the company? How can anyone trust anyone else so much to agree to do anything like that? I understand that the guy had an ellaborate web of lies, but still: in today's world everything and everyone needs to be double or triple checked and taken with a grain of salt.
Jerald is very intelligent n sharp but definitely used it in the wrong manner. What a waste. Hope the victims are better now. Wishing them all the best!
bruhhh.... if he had that level of skill in convincing.... he could have made a killing selling insurance and stuff.. but nah dude had to go full vice city XD.
There’s an error in the visual at 23:17. The police report was made on 4 January 2019, but the police report statement visual showed that “Sam” met Jerald on 17 November 2019. It should be 17 November 2018, not 2019. The police officer also said that it all started on 17 November 2018, at 23:30.
Never trust no one’s!! Scammers is to many this day’s. In Malaysia. Often happens.Pls don’t invest. Anything’s to anyone. Never Never.. just keep your money in the bank. Is safely
The excuses remind me of one jack Neo show. The person said his paternal grandmother die so must attend funeral. Next time the excuse was his maternal grandmother die so must attend funeral. The third time he tried to say another grandmother then his superior asked how many grandmother he has 😂
Everybody should realise Jerald didn't pay back any sum except for his time with free lodging and meals, while victims pay with sweat, trauma and debts etc...shouldn't Jerald be punished by paying back or at least some reimbursement or writeoffs from the telcos etc..? We should be educated on this..
I have got zero sympathy for him. Doesn't mean you're suffering gives you the right or advantage to benefit from some other people. Do me a favour by suffering and rotting in prison. I am currently a victim of a scam by my friend amounting to $11,000 sgd, playing MIA and saying lots of excuses. Seriously i rather not have the money back, but i truly hope karma will get back to him a million fold over his current life, as well as how many lives he will ever get.
I get angry with this man. I also got scammed online. Scammers are good in gaining your trust. You just help them but you end up losing your finances. How can someone be so evil. I hope there will be no more scammers in the world. They should work hard rather than being making people’s life miserable. I hope CNA can also listen to my story. I want justice too since I recently got scammed. :(
He not only scam people's money he scams the girl's love too until got depression. When got out of prison he go find her and she will believe him again.
I agree that the police in sg could be a little bit inefficient, not only due to "they do not want to wrongly accuse an innocent people", but they could spend too much time on an innocent people and let the real criminal running freely outside. Why do they need to re-investigate for 4 month just because of something the suspect say? Do they not really sure about the case during the first round of investigation? But glad that they eventually did the job and caught the disgusting man, he still acting as a victim in front of camera and trying to gain sympathy. I thought the amount he scammed would be higher especially from the fake wife...cuz tinder swindler lol..
Watching this episode makes my blood boil because the SG police is so bloody inefficient that they failed to prevent Jerald from scamming further victims before "gathering enough evidence" to officially arrest and convict him. When enough harm is done to innocent people the potential perpetrator should be considered guilty until proven innocent. Some may argue he should have some rights, correct? Well, human rights my ass. His rights as a human evaporated the moment he pulled the first scam.
Despite the poverty/difficult circumstances in life, why do crime and bring more misery upon others and self. In the end, he lost everything and even more. Nothing is ever an excuse for crime.
All these scams syndrome started from oneself....how much greed, drive and denied exist of good moral values to cheat. This are the modus operandi of scammers. Yet humans never learn from past history...the hunger for thus temptations are much alive today. The answer is when we can quickly educate and reset thus negative mindset?
I have no sympathy for Jerald or any scammers. Whatever circumstances he suffered does not justify what he did to others. It was not a spur of the moment idea. He preyed on his friends and weaknesses that he saw. My family was a victim of a pair of scammers. Using religion, they worked their way into our family and scammed us not only of money but caused my family to break apart and destroyed our lives. We are still picking up the pieces. I was in depression and suicidal. If not for the support of my good friends and regained faith , I would be dead. Can going to jail compensate for the pain and suffering we are still experiencing now? No. To the scammers that harmed my family and all scammers out there. I hope that every cent you scammed brings you nothing but misery and failure whatever you use it for. All the pain, hurt and suffering you caused to your victims, let these haunt you everyday and may these be returned to you a thousand fold over every lifetime
?did the????x?I'm x?......"-?no??you? You? How funny??how 🤔 🤔 ❓️ 🤔? What? 9.30 you don't know if? X
I feel like organising a team to get back at these scammers.
Amen
Jerald is mentally sick. That's if you know what is the meaning of mentally sick.
My dog
No excuses; and his whole life is about blaming others for his failures. He lacks basic discipline and ownership. Society will teach him what he has not learned either from parents or by himself .
I was born into a much, much more dysfunctional family where abuse and violence were the daily diet. I myself had been thrashed and beaten like an animal, into unconsciouness - with skin bleeding countless times . He was a gambler, my father; never worked for a single day in his life. His words were more colorful than the rainbow.
I was almost killed when he strangled me with a belt , as I started learning to fight back to protect my mum and 5 other younger siblings. He set a bad example and I vowed I wld grow up well, nevertheless. Today I have raised a nice family, my kids have gone to uni. My house is fully paid and I can retire comfortably.
Yet , he is still alive. To me , he doesn't matter since when I was a teen.
But I still give him allowance and helped in his medical fees even tho I cant bring myself to call him " father ".
There were many times I wished him dead when young, and had thoughts of running away.
It all boils down to the self.Jerald lacks morals, discipline and empathy for other's suffering. He will hurt more people when he comes out unless he goes for counselling and perhaps some med. treatment. He could be a pyschopath.
Men like you are incredibly rare, but extremely commendable.
Wow, thank you for sharing your story. I will copy and paste and send to my family group chat where 8 teenagers are part of it. I commend you for what you had done. Great job!
And yeah... I think so too - Jerald is a Psychopath (i've watched so much docu about narcs and psychos).
You are an honorable man. Sadly society does not seem to be teaching Jerald. He should at least have been sentenced to pay back the money he stole. Jerald still seems to blame others and he lacks empathy for his victims.
Basically you are abused, bit still not exceed your mental threshold and transformed into psychos, psychopaths. When do you think mental patients comes from?
Jerald is a narcissistic sociopath/psychopath. He is a parasite and always will be, counseling will not change that. Society won't teach him anything, he'll simply adjust his tactics. The whole story about his mother and grandmother are rife with exaggerations and crocodile tears, he only cared about what they could do for him, not the other way around.
Pity plays are a verrry common go-to tactic for every narcissist when they get caught: playing the victim, claiming hardships, faking remorse, etc., etc. None of it is real, it's just another scam, and that scam continues to steal from his existing victims by sucking sympathy for their very real suffering away from them in both the courts and the general public. People, don't ever, ever be party to that; you not only help the narcissist injure their victims further, you help them prey on more future victims.
So maddening and heartbreaking for all of those people he defrauded and hurt, they deserve far better justice than that measly sentence. They seem like such good, kind people..
68 months of imprisonment are just too short. In Vietnam he could be charged a life sentence for half of the amount he scammed.
In China they shot u
@OVERwhelmed their government also bribed by the syndicate
The problem with guys like Jerald is you cannot show them sympathy because they will twist and prey on that.
I don't believe this scammer , he cheated so much money and never take care of her mom ( look at the house condition ) so much money you do not even ask some cleaner to clean up the house ? after all this he is still using his mom as an excuse !! Jailing him is too light a sentence :(
And don't forget the vacation in London ....
He's jailed less than 6 years? My gawd, you get more jail time for defaming the Prime Minister!
Me too, he is a psychopath, he didn't really love his mom, he just used her as an excuse.
Exactly. He only used his mom and grandma as excuse to try to get sympathy. But he clearly does not care much about either of them.
His victims suffered more than he did. Beware everyone, he will be out in no time to scam again!!
I'm shocked, a sentence of 4 years is way too light. As a judge I would have sentence him to at least 10 years in jail.
If it is me I would give him an extra 13 years.
A lot of respect for SPF for combing through the details thoroughly again to ensure they caught the right culprit. While there may be less victims with a hasty arrest, the integrity of the investigative process should not be compromised, lest the criminal be alerted and dispose of evidence.
Hope the victims and their families can process what they've been through and regain trust in other people eventually.
Honestly, it is so so difficult to empathise with him and at the end of the day, he is still so selfish and only thinking for himself -- there's no mention of feeling guilty or sorry for the victims. He has caused so much harm to his victims and it is so shameful and 68 months is indeed too light a sentence. In order to repay debts from hospital bills, there could have been other alternatives instead of scamming people.
Truly a excellent documentary. It can be watched and understood on so many levels. On one level, it serves as a cautionary tale for us common people that could be potentially be scammed.
On another level, it serves as a cautionary tale for people whose moral compass is malleable and may be tempted into scamming others. The description of the apartment during raid and the unfortunate passing of the mother points to the fact how guilt and shame destroys oneself - a retribution (bao yin) - consumes our soul, our mind, and our body.
Congratulations CNA! World class indeed!
Keep producing these world class documentary and journalism. So far beyond the downfalling western media nowadays
He went to so much effort just to scam USD110k over 4 years…if he had continued working in the initial customer service role, minimally he would have made the same or even more after 4 years…
I was physically and mentally abused during childhood by my father who divorced my mother when I was five. How he was given custody I will never know. However, in all my years I have never scammed or cheated anyone. To me, using the trauma of childhood abuse as an excuse for committing crime is the easy way out of taking responsibility for one's actions.
I agree
I am a single child with a neglectful father who have destroyed my family. I was also a scam victim and I never want this to happen to anyone.
A shitty background is no excuse to be an evil person
Totally agree! Just a convenient EXCUSE for this Jerald the Liar 🙄
moral of the story:
1. Don’t date your boss
2. Don’t work in SME, anyone can print a namecard saying they are a CEO
3. If your estranged primary school classmate suddenly reach out to you, ignore them.
point no 3 = 💯
#3: usually to sell insurance. Last time totally don't even know you, now suddenly best-friends-forever(BFF). Knn pui chao nuah!
This documentary is so overwhelming. Totally in disbelief that someone can go to the extent to scam others. The scammer really had a well thought out plan that made his victims suffered so much. After 'hearing' his part of the story, it is still difficult to sympathise with him. Probably due to his emotional trauma in childhood, that was not the way to gain respect and for people to treat him well. I would say there is a lack of social support when he is in distress, be it from his family, his school, and the society. If he was counselled at the initial stage, he may turn out differently.
true.. sometimes all the person lacks is a listening ear.
Problem was, he didn’t display any red flags at that time. His friend said he was quiet, boy that don’t give problems in class. So basically he was outside of the radar. How to counsel or listen la 😭
I'm not sympathetic. You can't control your circumstances but it's your choice on how you answer them. This guy brought immense pain and suffering to those around him just because of his personal situation? Disgraceful
@@20pointer if it were that simple I'm sure he will have not gone so far. I can assure you that such people have complex personality and part of the solution is to lock them up and let them to reflect on themselves.
I feel bad for the girl who he married and scam why does he have to marry her.
There’s always a choice. No money, seek assistance from SSO. Difficulty in paying for hospital bills? Seek assistance from the medical social worker. Life is overwhelming, grief over grandma’s and mum’s health? Seek assistance from a counsellor.
Many people have grown up in a single parent family. How many have chosen to be conmen? It’s all about choices. Admit your mistakes and choose to do the right things. Stop hiding behind your disadvantaged childhood, Jerald Low!
Jerald - the scammer should be sentenced to LIFE IN PRISON WITHOUT BAIL for the money he took from the victims. let him feel the pain the victims went through. He's an Evil person. Hell is waiting for him. His mother died because of him.
Jerald's excuse using his grandmother's illness, shame on him. If they pulled cctv footage from the hospital where his grandmother stayed at, for sure no doubt, he 99% never even visited her.
I have the same feeling he did not visit at all. Just look at the house filled with rubbish.
Once a chronic liar, always will find a way to escape
It never stops to amaze me how much hard work scammers put into their plans. They put in their time, effort, and energy to make their scams work. If only, they had better guidance.
And rather not use the time effort to get a decent job
Should make this into a Netflix movie. Quite interesting and educational
Better than Singapore Social
💯 interesting
Having a difficult childhood doesn't give anyone any excuse to scam anyone. No one can escape the long arm of the law in Spore. Minister Chan Chun Sing came from a single family too. He excelled in Hwa Chong JC and was awarded a prestigious scholarship to study at Cambridge. Look for an inspiring role model!
Although I applaud the police for finally serving justice for the victims, they took way too long (4 years). I had a case once and the police dragged it for 7 months. During the 7 months, i was assigned to an IO and she was not doing anything despite me emailing her many times to check the status. After a good 3 months, she told me that my case will be handled by someone. Left a super bad impression.
I nvr understood them, Like yes if we do lodge a report the first thing they would have to do is investigate, but why its kinda annoying how long they take to investigate when we provide all the evidence including face pics, phone number, bank acc number , what happened
I was a supervisor of a particular franchise which was broken into the following month I left the job. My ex colleague told me what happened and being one of the keyholders I was expecting to be called in. It took the police 1 year to call me in for interview, by that time I already forgotten certain details they were asking (where we place the earnings and accounts etc) I was astonished by their absurdity and efficiency level. There was another theft in another branch which was reported by me and the culprit was caught but I was never updated. After 3 years I received a letter signed by a specific IO informing me out of the blue that culprit has been sentenced and they thank me for helping with their investigations. Curious, I called the IO who signed the letter and asked him which case he was referring to. He had no idea what I was talking about. What do u mean your physical signatures is on it don’t u read what u signed on? I gave him the case number and he still remained very helpless (hello this is the computer age) . After a couple of weeks he finally found out which case he was writing amour . To this day I was amused but at the same time I felt really insecure about the lack of efficiency and common sense local police operates by, despite our low crime rate.
And during that 4 years he was scamming more victims and fresh police reports flowed in on the same guy
All criminal love to push the blame on their family or everyone else. It's everyone fault expect their own fault.
Kudos to the police and their justice system. Shame on the scammer. Sorry to the victims.
They say the Singapore justice system is strict but I feel it failed to adequately punish and rehabilitate Jerald and allow Jerald to make reparations for the harm he caused. Jerald's statements in this video prove that all he has is self pity and he does not seem to have any empathy with his victims. One of his victims was his own mother who had to suffer the indignity of knowing in her final days that her son was a criminal and she had to visit him in jail.
Jerald's jail time may have been adequate but he was made to pay a fine of $1800 which is completely out of proportion to the funds he stole.
Anonymous: What did you do during Covid restrictions?
Jerald: I became a professional scammer.
Across 4 years, he scammed only $110,000 USD? If he actually worked, he could end up saving nearly that amount (or more) across those 4 years, and would have also saved himself the trouble, jail time, and charges. He also missed his mum's funeral and lost everything. All for just $110k.
Yes 4 years of hard work and another 5 years of not being in jail you could earn and saved more. Sometimes when I see criminals put so much effort in stealing if only they could use the same effort legally.
4 years 100k? Wow u guys so rich. I work 10 years i still not 100k...
they gotta be living very frugal lifestyles or something
一部蛮完整的述说诈骗手法，给制作人一个赞👍。
从标题还以为是骗色花花公子而点进去看，谁知诈骗钱财的故事更比骗色更为精彩。谢谢你们的用心制作，蛮有水準的犯罪记录影片。
Better Than Crime Watch Sia!
Of course! Crimewatch is a cringe low budget production hahaha. All the “actors” so kayu one
He willfully cheated innocent victims, premediated and ruined their lives. There is no rehabilitation for someone who seems to be a serial scammer. I have no remorse for a sociopath and skilled manipulator like him, he deserves no pity when he shed his crocodile tears. My only sympathy goes out to the victims and that he wasn't locked away for longer for the slew of crimes he committed.
Naive.
The amount of work and lies here is really a great effort from jerald.
This serves as a lesson for all of us to not trust easily
He scammed people he personally knew. One was a childhood friend. He used relationships to scam them. How can anyone even think that someone they know their whole life would scam them?
With all that talent he could have started a legit business
This is the reason why i choose to live peacefully.. Peace to myself and others.. Lead a normal life.. Just be happy with what i have.. Doesnt need to be rich.. Just be grateful with what i have..
Clear cut case of serial scammer and system process incompetence. Too much too little too late.
This is soooooo much better than crimewatch!!! CNA please produce More of this!
Despite scamming over $100,000 from various people including his friends, he still lives in an almost dilapidated environment with rubbish sprawl all over the house. Even though he was mentioned as one having not many friends, he still managed to gain trust from people whom were mere acquaintances at the start. This isn’t easy and takes skills to persuade and convince people. I believe if Jerald put his communication skills set to good use, he would have been a more successful person.
I don't think he feel remorse about what he has done. no mentioning or apologizing to his victims, I bet he don't even remember who his victims are.
The reason for scamming is bullshit anyways. He spends more money on luxuries then on his mother or grandmother.
Karma always strikes, it won't be on you but it will go to someone close to you.
Objection to your interpretation of Karma. According to Buddhism beliefs, karma only affects one person and the same person in his next lives. That is enough to cover a number of scenarios.
it's true... after he got released from bail he immediately used my father's ic number to illegally book a bluesg electric car
@@junseng06 Report him to the police.
This is absolutely crazy, wild thing is he was still sentimental, he could’ve ran when he had the money from Sam, moved to a cheaper country and actually started businesses there, made money and disappeared completely but he still cared enough about his family not to disappear. The sentimental psychopath… I am empathetic to his plights but not to his actions, he deserves more than the 67 months he got.
I'm planning for a business and have constant battles with trying to alleviate as much risks from my partners and opportune investors to have everyone's best interest in mind but wow, this scamming mindset is a whole other level of scorched earth for personal gain.
There was no misunderstanding, Jerald is a liar through and through. Lawyers will give excuses for their clients. Jerald deserves prison and not mingle with society.
He deserved every bit of shitty things life throws at him. I was a victim of a scam, I know how sucks it is to be cheated of your life’s savings that you worked so hard for.
In case anyone needs it, you can request to suspend a phone line contract. It won’t be considered as termination. There will be limitations. E.g. SingTel will let you suspend up to 12 months, at $10.70 per month. However this is better than paying full fee every month for a service you don’t want anymore.
Stop using your mum and grandmother as an excuse. There was no apologies, everything is about you, "I have lost everything", "Prison was not worth it", "Ppl laugh at me" .. What about your victims?
Terrence's network marketing thing also sounds like a scam
it looks like a multi-level marketing.
Yeah, I couldn't help but chuckle at the irony at that point
Sunshine empire
Lmao
Instant karma came to mind
If he really loved his grandma so much then for her sake, he shouldn't scam others. I'm very a hundred percent sure that his late grandma will NEVER approve what he did to others.
Probably a conincidence event that he uses as a fake excuse tbh..
Whatever circumstances, a person who cause others hurt doesn't deserve sympathy.
With his level of intelligence in scamming, if he were to go straight, it would not be surprising that he will do very well in life.
The same goes for many big time drug dealers… if they put all of that effort, time & energy into something legit, they would likely thrive & not have to constantly look over their shoulder & fear jail!
His scamming was very low level and unintelligent to be honest.
The punishment metted out is too light. There is no guarantee that he will change his way after he is released. He is a natural confidence trickster.
Yeah. I think he should get 20-30 years prison at least.
So safe to scam people. The victim should hunt for him and chop off both his hands and legs.
I have been to prison before, 4years i would want 400k. 😂
For such small amount 67 months is very harsh. There were many cases where millions were scammed. And these scammers only sentenced to 5 years the most.
@@solomonlee4503 The serial nature of the offending, offending while on bail, the perversion of justice by trying to get another person to take the blame all needs to be taken into account. He actually got off very lightly, he did not even have to pay back the money he stole. Imagine if you were a police officer who spent months trying to untangle this mess while Jerald is on bail and still offending...
Lesson to take away: There are consequences to your actions, and the law and justice will always catch up to you, one way or the other, no matter how long it takes.
Scam centers in India never face consequences from the law.
Exactly! the police waiting for him for the right time
@@johnly9135 *"the police waiting for him for the right time"*
Police waiting for him FOR the right time? Try this: THE POLICE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR HIM *_AT_* THE RIGHT TIME.
*Don't you Asians learn English at school? Singaporeans are **_supposed_** to be highly educated people, your students are **_supposed_** to be high achievers in maths, science, etc. etc. etc. Your citizens are **_supposed_** to be fluent English speakers. Judging from your idiotic post, I wonder if these stories are just another exaggeration, just another hype to make your little island stand out from the rest of South East Asia. Everything about Singapore seems to be exaggerated to some degree, from your founding prime minister who was made to look like some sort of a super human nation-builder with an IQ of 1000, to your current prime minister whose intellectual capabilities are hyped up by the local press in order to make him look like some sort of a Chinese Churchill. What a joke of a country. You can't produce ONE single Nobel laureate in the sciences even after 60 long years of independence, but claim to be smarter than the rest of the planet. Simply pitiful.*
even inside prison, he still seemed to not feeling guilty for the victims, he just kept on lamenting his fate. too bad my family like this, too bad my grandma sick, too bad my mom passed away, in short, too bad i got caught.
He is beyond redemption.
the girl just immediately tried to marry him after meeting him like a few month? WTF something also wrong with her 😕
I was been bullied too and looked down by others including my family members but it doesn’t mean that I have to be a monster. Try to forgive yourself and others. To others, don’t judge Jerald too much but learned from it, we are not that really good.
Good choice of music at beginning of the video and I felt like I’m owning the high end apartment. Good job CNA. Please produce more documentaries as good as this. I am a fan of crime documentaries.
if nothing else works, spend the money on therapy
the real scam here is Terrence's network marketing business
How did he bring people to condos he didn’t own? How did he have accesss without any agent or owner present?
Just 5years? Where got enough, such scammer should just stay in jail forever…the harm that you cause to others are even more then what you think, what worse are mentally whereby people have lost trust in each other…. Never be soft hearted to scammer
"He wanted to be treated with respect"?!! You earn respect. You don't get it by stealing from others and destroying them financially!
4:50 As an employer we call this grandmother story, literally. After 2 days absent, immediate dismissal.
Tragedy in a number of ways. In the later part of the vid, we saw him accompanying his mom back after attending medical appointment. He was arrested at the lift lobby. That is a scene that could have been me. I see myself in that scene. It could have been another typical Singaporean too. Mistake, don't take short cuts in life. Cheating is a fast way and often a temporary way. BUT some cheaters do benefit from cheating and still living well being a scammer. This is a medium level scamming which exposes the failure of local companies fraud detection protocols. It becomes serial because the authorities did not stop him fast enough. A scammer is rewarded with getting away doing a crime, so he/she tends to commit another scam and it becomes routine. I have a relative who had also taken the path to cheat own family members' trust. These days, there are big time scammers around. The police are unable to catch them. They can only catch small local petty thieves. I believe there are scammers who operates on International level. Back to his case, so he tried to cover his tracks with false police reports and he had some friendly help. He is sentenced to 67 months in jail, and that equals to 5.5 years. He real home was a mess. I looked at my room and it was a mess too but liveable. His family should be covered by the social safety net of Singapore but such cases still is seen. Singapore is becoming a more complicated place. Scammers exist too in the past. But now the situations are constantly changing and becoming more complicated by Capitalism. You can make money putting trust into financial products and MLMs which border on trickery and hardselling, but in China, the bank suddenly don't recognize the deposits. Anything can happen. Foreigners are many making money by the tons. The urge to get rich quick is there. Lastly, sympathize with the lady on her first job. Her family , father helped her out of a bad situation.
He is a confident conman with very creative, criminal mind. If he used his talents and skills in legitimate business, he could have gone far. But he chose the other way. Hope he gets rehabilitated, take some courses while in prison and when he gets out, he will be a better man and a contributing member of the society. The prison is not to punish the criminals but to rehabilitate.
Great production, very informative and thrilling. Jarold is a criminal genius but the SPF was relentless in their efforts to unmask him. I feel pity for Jarold's victims but they bear responsibility for being gullible. The office girl preferred Jarold's assurances to her father's cautionary advice. Terrence thought here was an opportunity to ride a wealthy friend's coat-tail to instant prosperity. Sam was blinded by his intense lust could not see that it was he who had swallowed Jarold's lies hook, line and sinker. The love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:8) and scamsters can smell the stench of greed from a mile away. Beware.
As the saying goes if u got nothing nice to say then pls keep your mean comments to yourself. Stop judging people. Your train of thought is dangerous to put out there as it is typical victim blaming, as is the main reason why scam victims are so ashamed they don’t speak out and many do not make reports for fear of being judged. In case u r not aware his victims are all very young , fresh in society and one gal was even mentally unstable which made her vulnerable to scams. Following the incident the victims all went through a period of self blaming (the ex classmate in particular thought himself was a lousy person and couldn’t forgive himself) the gal mental illness worsened .
I don't have any pity for this whole family. Karma should fall on them for damaging so many other families and lives. Still can't believe this can happen in Singapore.
The agent were so happy did she gave extra service to him???
I think the most giving clue is the title of the video "TINDER" swindler. The documentary really tries its best to protect the dignity of the people who were swindled in a way they don't talk too much about the intimacies the convict had with them but the trickery. As pitiful as Jerald's plight, he got so blindsided and went the wrong route of solving his problems. I f-ing hate scammers, so I don't pity him a single bit. He's an adult, so I won't give leniency to the way I think of him.
1.Why should Sam pay for the money that Jerald scammed him from? Shouldn’t the money be repaid from Jerald’s assets?
2.During the day of arrest, how did the police get the information of Jerald’s mother appointment date and time? If the mother did not commit any crime, is it right for the hospital to release this personal data to the police?
SG police has all the privileges and rights to check on personal identification including your ancestry and relatives if you have deemed to be suspected of committing any offence. That’s their duty and responsibility.
1. Yes, and if Gerald has no assets he needs to work and earn money until his debt is payed.
2. Yes, in order to arrest Jerald and prevent more crime and harm.
He did not learn from his lesson!!! I was in the same cell with him in the prison and he lied to everybody he meet in the cell!!! Said that he is being con etc and claiming that he have 3 condominiums at orchard and instructed fellow inmate to do things for him in return for money when he released from prison!!!
Don't feel sorry for the scammer's grandmother passing away, he never felt sorry for his victims.
greed... wants to spend before earning end up cheating people then end up getting caught
still trying to gain sympathy and no sign of apology and remorse for the victims who he scammed of their hard earned money rot in jail lilbro
Shouldn't Jerald be the one repaying the debts of his victims (after he comes out of jail)?
Once he is released he is back to a dragon. He still has the money, or already enjoyed the money. The victims are still suffering.
What I fail to understand; is the fact that all those people, the "victims" were taking cars, phones on themselves, not on the company cards, checks, Jerald's accounts? How would they even be accountable for those goods afterwards if the items were supposed to be bought or leased for the company? How can anyone trust anyone else so much to agree to do anything like that? I understand that the guy had an ellaborate web of lies, but still: in today's world everything and everyone needs to be double or triple checked and taken with a grain of salt.
Tho I feel bad for the victims, the scams were really lame.. how are people so naive?
Jerald is very intelligent n sharp but definitely used it in the wrong manner. What a waste. Hope the victims are better now. Wishing them all the best!
Lol,very intelligent? I think not. That guy literally googled how to get rich..
only the lazy people finds shortcuts :P
the worst way to start business is to start it with someone you just meet, its like getting married first person you meet on las Vegas casino.
Lim's daughter basically done both, I really couldn't believe that even with good education we still can be scammed so obviously.
He don’t even feel remorseful, still trying to show justifications for his scams.
So interesting! How did he even go so long viewing omg
bruhhh.... if he had that level of skill in convincing.... he could have made a killing selling insurance and stuff.. but nah dude had to go full vice city XD.
He has bad math skills tho. 100plus k over 4 yrs is no profit.
Be careful! There are some real life scammers! Not just online!!!
Remember one golden rule and you will be happy ~ there is no free lunch
this guy is very smart for 24 years old
Very stupid actually.
There’s an error in the visual at 23:17.
The police report was made on 4 January 2019, but the police report statement visual showed that “Sam” met Jerald on 17 November 2019. It should be 17 November 2018, not 2019.
The police officer also said that it all started on 17 November 2018, at 23:30.
This guy almost scam the police too? 🤣
Never trust no one’s!! Scammers is to many this day’s. In Malaysia. Often happens.Pls don’t invest. Anything’s to anyone. Never Never.. just keep your money in the bank. Is safely
Amazing documentary
"I promote health and freedom to people" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
MLM
The excuses remind me of one jack Neo show. The person said his paternal grandmother die so must attend funeral. Next time the excuse was his maternal grandmother die so must attend funeral. The third time he tried to say another grandmother then his superior asked how many grandmother he has 😂
That film's produced by Mark Lee and Boris Boo tho, it's titled "The Ghosts Must Be Crazy"
Everybody should realise Jerald didn't pay back any sum except for his time with free lodging and meals, while victims pay with sweat, trauma and debts etc...shouldn't Jerald be punished by paying back or at least some reimbursement or writeoffs from the telcos etc..? We should be educated on this..
These days scammers even scam friends.. people really need to be vigilant.
I have got zero sympathy for him. Doesn't mean you're suffering gives you the right or advantage to benefit from some other people. Do me a favour by suffering and rotting in prison. I am currently a victim of a scam by my friend amounting to $11,000 sgd, playing MIA and saying lots of excuses. Seriously i rather not have the money back, but i truly hope karma will get back to him a million fold over his current life, as well as how many lives he will ever get.
The police was unable to keep up with such a degree of criminal mind. I'm surprised he learned all that from the internet.
I get angry with this man. I also got scammed online. Scammers are good in gaining your trust. You just help them but you end up losing your finances. How can someone be so evil. I hope there will be no more scammers in the world. They should work hard rather than being making people’s life miserable. I hope CNA can also listen to my story. I want justice too since I recently got scammed. :(
He not only scam people's money he scams the girl's love too until got depression. When got out of prison he go find her and she will believe him again.
Scammers should be made to earn and return all amount with interest to victims. What does imprisonment do for victims? Nothing!
I agree that the police in sg could be a little bit inefficient, not only due to "they do not want to wrongly accuse an innocent people", but they could spend too much time on an innocent people and let the real criminal running freely outside. Why do they need to re-investigate for 4 month just because of something the suspect say? Do they not really sure about the case during the first round of investigation? But glad that they eventually did the job and caught the disgusting man, he still acting as a victim in front of camera and trying to gain sympathy. I thought the amount he scammed would be higher especially from the fake wife...cuz tinder swindler lol..
I got into such scam 15 yrs ago and got myself in debt almost declare bankrupt.
Feel bad for Terrence
Jerald's lateral lisp has more potential than him lol
Watching this episode makes my blood boil because the SG police is so bloody inefficient that they failed to prevent Jerald from scamming further victims before "gathering enough evidence" to officially arrest and convict him. When enough harm is done to innocent people the potential perpetrator should be considered guilty until proven innocent.
Some may argue he should have some rights, correct? Well, human rights my ass. His rights as a human evaporated the moment he pulled the first scam.
Heavy penalty/jail term should be given to these crooks who think Singaporeans are very rich. Even youngsters have turned criminals.
Despite the poverty/difficult circumstances in life, why do crime and bring more misery upon others and self. In the end, he lost everything and even more. Nothing is ever an excuse for crime.
He shouldn't live up to his name. He led a LOWly life in his adult years. Now he has to pay the price.
The man who scammed me is highly educated, his mother is a retired teacher and his brother was a scholar and works in civil service.
Always remember don't get emotional when money is involved. Learn to detach yourself to become more rational.
All these scams syndrome started from oneself....how much greed, drive and denied exist of good moral values to cheat.
This are the modus operandi of scammers. Yet humans never learn from past history...the hunger for thus temptations are much alive today. The answer is when we can quickly educate and reset thus negative mindset?
