[True Believer]

Many people are lured to Li Xin Durian at Bedok North Street 3 only to be told that the "free" durians have been collected.

My colleague and I were having lunch at Bedok Central when he showed me an advertisement offering free durians nearby at Bedok North Street 3. As we were finishing our lunch at 1:40 pm, we drove over to Li Xin Durian at 1:50 pm, only to be informed that the "free" durians were all picked up, even though the "offer" was supposed to commence only at 2 p.m.

The sellers offered us the durians at either $5 per fruit or a plastic bag which can only hold 3-4 durians at $15. The sellers refused to open any fruit and told us to choose blindly. Some of the durians were overripe and split open (see below) or oozing liquid.

Must be shameless Tiongs or jiuhu kias behind this. Remember that cheap Huawei phone 'promotion'? Daft Sinkies are suckers for such stunts.

The poster claims that durians arrive daily at 2 pm, but my colleague and I were there at 1:50 pm after our lunch nearby, when the sellers informed us that the free fruits were already given out. A couple of middle-aged housewives who were loitering there said they did not see any free durians handed out earlier nor was there a lorry delivering the goods.

When it sounds too good to be true, it is always too good to be true.

Last time, I encountered a durian seller who knocked on my door, claiming he had only five fruits left and insisting I take all of his branded durians. Being out of work at the time, I had no intention of buying anything; not wanting to prolong the interaction or lead him on, I rejected him outright. He became visibly frustrated, his persistent sales tactics shifting into a guilt-tripping narrative about his long day, making the simple act like a confrontation I wasn't prepared for.

If people give away free durians donch have to advertise….only kum gong idiots fall for this sale tactics.

Should notify to the police that there are scams and frauds occurring there. To serve as a warning to retard sinkies, new posters of these dishonest vendors must be displayed throughout the MRT station.

If the police are serious about taking action against scammers, charge Li Xin Durian for false/misleading advertising.

The early birds all confirmed that no durians were given out FOC. My colleague and I arrived 10 minutes before the scheduled giveaway, but the sellers claimed all were given out already.

Looks like this 'free durian' stunt is a coordinated thing and not the deed of one random durian seller.

She shares about another place giving out free durians.

In the case of Li Xin Durian in Bedok North Street 3, bystanders who were there before the commencement of the so-called giveaway never saw any durians actually being handed out. There were many over ripe fruits in the pile that were split open, including some with liquid oozing out, that were not even given away.
