    Man Injured In Car Explosion Is Allegedly Con-Artist Jailed Previously For Online Shopping Scam

    Alex, who runs a car rental business, reported yesterday morning that a hirer had went missing with one of his Nissan car.

     

    Later part of the day, there was a video of a man badly burnt by a car explosion.

    It turned out that the exploded car is none other than the missing car. The injured man, is the hirer, that went missing with the car.

    Alex posted an update to let everyone know that he found his wrecked car.

     

    This man is none other than Dwight T Soriano. Two years ago, he cheated 34 victims of about $30,000 through online shopping scams. The 32-year-old Singaporean was jailed 17 months in October 2015.

  • Beware: Renovation Company Cheating Customers Again After Several Years Passed

    Beware: Renovation Company Cheating Customers Again After Several Years Passed

    Dear Friends,
    If you see this couple running a company please don’t trust and make any payments. Now the company is under this name (Carpentry Interior Works Pte Ltd) but you will never know when they will change the company name again. They don’t bother how you suffer paying your loan back to the bank or etc. To them as long u pay them is enough but they won’t complete your job. Office is longer operating at Telok Kurua or Yishun. I wonder where would the next LOCATION & COMPANY BE???

     

    **** Make these scammers famous****

    This women Sharlyne real name Husniyati Binte Omar & her husband Andre Yu real name Aszrul Yusoff are scammers! They have cheated me a total of $15,100 for my renovation. Took a deposit from me of $500 in early Feb and waited for me to apply my renovation loan with DBS bank.. which was approved in March.. I received my chq and gave it to them on 5/4/2017 she promised to start work immediately but when I texted her she asked me to come down to the office to sign another agreement so I contacted her again to check when to go down..she didn’t reply.. tried to look for her company’s facebook but couldn’t seem to find it! After a few day’s I come to find out that she has been arrested for cheating..

    I made a police report and was advised to go to CASE TRUST went there today but was told nothing can be done if the company is no longer operating so they just took a report for formality sake. I can’t believe we got cheated. I have been suffering and just got my house after 6yrs and now when I finally when i get my house this happens to me.

    They’ve cheated many other people as well I’m not the only one.

    Both her office has been shut down

    1) 308 Telok Kurau Road, #01-18 Vibes @ East Coast Singapore 423858.
    2)A’posh Bizhub, Yishun Industrial St 1 #03-01.

    I really hope something could be done about this I feel devastated about what has happened.

    Please be aware of her & her husband! She’s has 7 kids I don’t understand how she could do this to another family?? How would she feel is this was one of own flash and blood?

    I remember clearly of her saying “I’m giving you my hand please don’t bite it” WELL DONE! who has bitten who’s hand!!! Bloody bitch!

    EDITOR’S NOTE

    Apparently, the couple and the company they own have scammed several victims since 2014 where we had a similar post about the scam. It is likely that they have been arrested based on photos taken from https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=332106030525901&id=332104343859403. Photos of the couple is also available here.

    Sadly, cheating companies can continue operating and they can even turn an occasional profit.

    Do a keyword search for the company and include the term “scam” and you’ll find all of the complaints about shoddy products and substandard service. And yes, those are the ones you want to avoid. Right about now, you should also look out for “Sharlyne / Andre / Sherie / Reshea Carpentry Design Works/ Carpentry Interior Works Pte Ltd” when looking for renovation company to engage their services.

    Have you been cheated by this particular scammers or any other renovation companies? Share your encounter with us at Rilek1Corner.

  • Former PAP Community Foundation Principal Jailed 5 Months

    Former PAP Community Foundation Principal Jailed 5 Months

    54 year-old Anna Koh, alias Susie Koh, was sentenced to 5 months jail today after stealing cash totalling $79,136.30 from her then workplace at the PAP Community Foundation (PCF) at BLK 515, Jurong West Street 52. She was the principal of the center.

    She began misappropriating the money in 2010. She had been entrusted with all the fees collected by the PCF center while she worked there. These included school, registration and outing fees. Pupils’ parents would pay the fees to their teachers, who would in turn hand the money to Koh.

    Prosecution lawyers said: “She would deposit part of the sums that were collected from the parents and misappropriate the remainder. The accused spent the money on her personal and family expenses.”

    Her offences came to light after an anonymous tip-off to the PCF on Oct 5, 2012.

    An internal audit later conducted showed that Koh had received fees without banking them in and a police report was made three months later.

    The court heard that she had made no restitution.

  • Artmani Italia Closed Down Without Warning, Customers Furious

    Artmani Italia Closed Down Without Warning, Customers Furious

    Ms Teo, an associate director of a recruitment agency, was hoping that a two-seater leather sofa she bought would be the centrepiece of her new home, after she moves in soon after Chinese New Year.

    But she is now missing a sofa, and is $3,000 poorer. She had paid furniture company Artmani Italia in two instalments – one last July and the other two weeks ago – and the firm promised to deliver the sofa to her flat in Boon Keng in early February.

    But Artmani Italia is believed to have shut down, leaving Ms Teo and about 50 others in the lurch. These customers, part of a WhatsApp group, are owed around $65,000 worth of furniture, and they have lodged police reports.

    When The Straits Times visited Artmani Italia’s premises in an industrial building off Hougang yesterday, the firm’s showroom doors were locked.

    At another two units listed under the firm’s name, letters from the landlord were pasted on the front doors, stating that no one was allowed access to the units with effect from Jan 18, unless authorised to do so.

    Others who work in the building saw movers loading furniture from the showroom onto a lorry.

     

    Attempts to reach the company were unsuccessful.

     

    One possible avenue for redress for the likes of Ms Teo is to file a claim with the Small Claims Tribunals. For now, she has bought another sofa from another company, with delivery expected in March.

    She still finds it hard to believe that she and her husband could have lost money like this.
