SINGAPORE - At least 60 victims have fallen prey to a scam targeting businesses in the renovation, food and beverage, retail and service industries, with at least $831,000 lost since April 12. The police on Wednesday (June 26) warned of the re-emergence of bulk order scams, which usually begins with scammers posing as customers of renovation contractors, restaurants or other businesses. These scammers call or text the businesses via WhatsApp under the pretext of making bulk orders or reservations, and would typically request for additional items, or an item from a brand that the businesses do not stock, or quantities that retailers are unable to fulfil on short notice. The scammer would then recommend a fake supplier for the victims to buy the items from. The police said in some cases, scammers would pretend to be Singapore teachers looking for contractors for painting or plumbing jobs, to buy items like bicycles or tyres, or to engage photography services.
The housewife had packed her unwanted items into five boxes and placed them neatly beside a recycling bin on the ground floor of her HDB block last Thursday (June 20).

The 45-year-old said: «I already told them not to rummage through the discarded items as the cleaners will have a hard time clearing it, but they wouldn't listen.» Indeed, four town council cleaners reportedly had to work overtime - until as late as 9pm - over three days to clear the mess. One worker recounted: «On Thursday, we cleared three barrels of rubbish, which included DVDs and audio equipment. »On Friday, we cleared another three barrels, where there were fragments of glass and ceramic. Saturday was a little better, but we still cleared two barrels."
