S’pore fraud victim now puts scammers out of business


About 50 people in Singapore have turned to Gaso, after losing a combined S$10mil to a variety of investment-related scams. — DARWIN LAGANZON/Pixabay

SINGAPORE: This is not another sad story of a victim scammed out of his hard-earned cash but an incredible payback tale of how a young Singapore woman rallied an online campaign to get back at the kind of fraudsters who cheated her out of her life savings.

Instead of wallowing in depression after losing S$80,000 (RM248,517), the 34-year-old digital content creator turned her agony into strength and built an anti-scam website to warn potential victims of the dangers posed by online crooks.
