Some pointers from one who was scammed


I REFER to the letter “Sour ending to durian purchase” (The Star, July 20). I am also a victim of an online scam. In my case, the portal was a platform for buying and selling new and second-hand goods.

A guy posed as a car owner selling his used vehicle on the platform. After I transferred the money into his account, he could not be contacted.
