SINGAPORE – The police are investigating a case involving a man who allegedly duped victims of over $30,000 in exchange for renting a flat in Jurong.
The man, who called himself Alan, said he was renting out the unit to ease his financial burden as his wife was having a son in Vietnam, Ms Lin said. “He initially told us that we could move in the day before. But once we were prepared to move in, he suddenly said we could not do so,” she added.Ms Lin told Shin Min that she created a group for victims after finding more people in the same predicament via the Internet.
Sources told Shin Min that, since 2019, more than 30 groups of victims have arrived at the flat to demand for their rents. Another victim showed, in a police report seen by Shin Min, that they had made three transactions to the ‘landlord’ after viewing a listing for the flat on Carousell. After multiple delays, the landlord’s Carousell account was blocked and became uncontactable, Shin Min reported.
