When I arrived for the viewing, the unit looked exactly as advertised on the PropertyGuru listing. I was thrilled—fully furnished and beautifully maintained, it was everything I’d hoped for. Ray said he tried cross-checking the unit details provided against the PropertyGuru listing but discovered it was no longer listed on site. When he asked the person he first messaged, she said the listing was removed due to overwhelming enquiries about the property.
— Ray November 10, 2024 On 7 November, Ray made the advanced deposit payment and was assured the tenancy agreement would be sent the next morning. Ray received nothing until he followed up with the agent. Gut instincts said something wasn’t right Ray said he stayed up all night trying to pack everything and admitted he couldn’t sleep due to excitement and anxiety. His gut instinct said something wasn’t right.The day of the handover had finally arrived. I stayed up all night trying to pack everything. I can't sleep, caught between excitement and anxiety.
Right after his call with NSRC, Ray received a call from an unknown number and thought it could be the agent. To his surprise, it was another agent from the same agency who realized Ray kept calling the company line. To their credit, the police didn’t sugarcoat anything. They made it abundantly clear that there wasn’t much they could do on their end, other than investigate the owner’s bank account, which was likely a mule account.— Ray November 10, 2024 It was a sad affair because Ray was excited to move into the new unit. After all, it was 10 minutes away from his workplace. Since the plan went up in smoke, he has to return to his old place which was in disarray from packing.
