One lucky punter returned to the «source» of her good fortune, this time with even greater grandeur, after her prayers were answered. During a ceremony on Thursday (Jan 9) to express gratitude for winning $130,000 in the Toto New Year Draw, the woman prayed in front of the Erawan Shrine in a store at People's Park Centre in Chinatown. She also hired four traditional Thai dancers, with their 10-minute performance attracting several curious passers-by, who took photos with their mobile phones, reported Shin Min Daily News. The lucky winner, who declined to give her name, said that she had arranged for the dancers after learning that it is a practice punters would do to give thanks after winning the lottery. Photos were also shared on the store's Facebook page that same day, showing the traditional dancers performing before the store's entrance surrounded by a small crowd. There were also photos of a shrine with a cheque worth more than $130,000. She first started buying lottery tickets five years ago on a whim or whenever there was a large prize up for grabs.

Malware scams involving phishing links sent through messaging platform WhatsApp have led to at least $625,000 in losses since last December. Giving the figures in a news release on Friday (Jan 10), the Singapore Police Force said at least 82 cases of such scams have been reported. The victims fell into a recent type of scam when they responded to fraudulent advertisements promoting travel and cleaning services on Facebook or TikTok. After leaving their contact details to indicate their interest, scammers would contact them through WhatsApp to request for a $5 payment as «membership fee or an upfront deposit» made through a phishing link. The victims would key in their credit or debit card details and encounter payment issues. Scammers would then instruct them to download a malicious application in an Android package kit (APK) file format through WhatsApp to 'resolve' the payment issues. The malware, once downloaded, would allow scammers to steal sensitive information such as SMS one-time passwords.
