Why online scams are claiming victims among the educated and well-off?

Because they are not street smart, only textbook smart.

Even though they have first class honors degree in banking and finance, worship crypto gurus, religiously follow TEDx speakers and 'investment sexperts' (*LMAO*), they are dumb and have zero situational awareness.

And yes there are the emotionally weak and vulnerable as well, spinsters and bachelors who genuinely believe that finally a man or woman is really showing an interest in them even if it's just online or on telegram or whatsapp.
 
That is why Temasek Holdings should have never trusted scholars to invest our hard-earned money in ill-advised toxic products overseas.
 
Education is the problem. SInkieland's 'education' is all brainwashing, and training to be obedient workers.

Criticial thinking must be suppressed so you avoid asking the uncomfortable questions regarding PAP rule... and also about the scams. :cool:

That is exactly what the PAP wants: docile citizens who are easily manipulated and have their money extorted by a Mafia-style govt.
 
Scammers will look for educated and rich as their ATM machine, when the scammers sense a low ses poor guy, they will hang up faster than you do
 
Never judge a book by its cover la.

Rich people don’t carry LV bags.
Rich people are rich because they are stingy and nasty.
Rich people are not going to let you in on ‘a great opportunity’ cos they don’t need someone to be as rich as them.

all these cheese-pies choose to get pig-butchered by the scamming fake highly educated elite professionals instead of realistically settle down to marry a decent working class local sinkie men .... then they deserve to be SLAUGHTERED like pigs .... kpkbkl ah? :whistling:
 
Not that they are so real. It's because you have a low intelligence which is also the number one reason why you are vax 9696 and waiting to suddenly uplorry....

S'poreans look down on poor people, but hate rich people. That is really sad indeed!
 
How’s that sad? You yourself look down on ITE grads, but do you consider yourself as ‘sad’?
You misunderstood my earlier posts owing to your lack of intellect; that makes me really sad .... for you. I only directed my remarks at ITE grads who showed no ambition, drive and propensity to make something of their lives. I am sure there are former ITE students who have risen to greater heights through sheer hard work and willingness to overcome all odds.

@404 is an ITE dropout, he did not proceed to graduation. Your remarks is directing at him?

We are not clones (duluxe + @rocket + @Tree)

@superpower The atas ACS boy keeps denying but he prejudices against neighbourhood school boys and low SES are so glaring.

My conclusion on what he wrote on this thread itself: He is indirectly admitting he is looking down on low SES (the poor) and believing the poor (low SES HDB dwellers & neighbourhood school boys from poor families) hate him (he is rich and from ACS). This is really sad if every ACS boy is like him.
