Home/Room Rental Scam
I put up an ADVERTISEMENT In Rentinsingapore.com and received an UNSolicited email from Yeo siew Lian within the next few days.
Email from scammer as below:
“Hello,
It is so good to read back from you. Little introduction about me. My name is Yeo. I am a female working professional. I am working at the moment as an I.T consultant in Turkey but i was Born and brought up in Singapore.
I am coming back home to work down there but due to the nature of my work, I rarely have time making calls.
I am ready to secure the bedroom so do let me know the cost of the room including utilities. Also the minimum rental duration. I will also be glad to have some pictures of the room including the address of the room for my mover to calculate the cost of shipping my stuff down there.
I will be glad to read back from you soon.
Warmest Regards”
