Scam

By Anonymous

This lady by the name of Sally. C sells Marina Bay Sands (MBS) deals which is about $190 cheaper than booking via MBS website. I found one of her deals on "Singapore Staycation" facebook page as well as on Gumtree. Initial enquiry was made on 15 March via email. 1 month later I decided to deal with her. She asked for full name, contact number and date of stay etc. Will need to make a bank transfer of the full amount to her POSB savings account. I did question her about the authenticity of this deal. She seemed professional and genuine. She said she won't be giving a hotel booking ID as she was supposed to use her Sands Rewards points with her friend's account to pay with hardcopy of voucher. She was supposed to meet me at the MBS counter to check-in. But on the morning of my check in day she sent an email at 7am saying that her boss told her to go to KL urgently But she would be back to Singapore by 10.30pm and refund me the full amount. At 11.19pm I receive an SMS from her saying that she was stuck somewhere in JB and had asked her friend to make the refund the next day at 3pm. Since then, no news from her.
