People really need to learn to avoid buying stuff and doing transactions with their phones/apps, unless it is a life or death situation e.g. you are lost somewhere and you have no cash.

When it comes to buying durians, it's so much better an experience to buy in person, seeing the durian seller open them for you. Or you carry the durians home and open them yourself. Feeling the thorny skin and smelling the durians on site.

Sinkieland is rife with scams, because daft Sinkies are too trusting, conditioned since young to fully trust the govt, the 'authority', or the so-called 'science', without thinking two steps ahead. It's a happy hunting ground for scammers. :cool:

The 50-year-old woman, surnamed Xu, came across a couple of Facebook advertisements for a durian promotion marking a kilogram of Musang durian for just $6, reported Lianhe Zaobao on May 10.

If ur surname is Xu, dun think is a native. When u have incompetent ministers that can only prostitutes foreigners to come to Sg to boost the economy and currency, this is what happen.. In the expense of the reputation of the Singapore local natives who are uneducated and clueless.

Not necessarily, many born and bred Sinkies use their hanyu pinyin names. You need not look further than Lee Hsien Loong's brats. :cool:

However, the Chinese text messages shown on the photo does suggest that she's a Tiong. :wink:

I am also surprise that her life saving is only 50k. If she moved from China to here and only get a mere 50k for life saving, she has been short-changed.
