Hello police, there are fake police trying to enter my house 😂
In case you're wondering, this case happened just recently about 6 months ago. I believe they have yet to be charged even though the main suspect needs INTERPOL intervention to bring the main suspect to justice.
Isn't this on the news or is different case??
All case on crime watch was few years back.
@@garypang3780Seek 2:10, you'll see this case happened in March of 2023.
are u slow@@garypang3780
Of course this isn’t just a one-off incident. Such scams have been happening for many years and is still happening. “Mr Chong” in the show isn’t the last gullible and ignorant person to be preyed on by scammers.
guy actually called 999 to prove his wife its fake police officers
There are fake police officer who try to enter my house 🤣
I can understand committing a crime if it was large amounts of money, where you're desperate and the ends justify the means somewhat - but my guy was knowingly doing it at $50 a pop 😭😭
bro just go do part time 12/hr at that point...
U have to understand some people is just lazy to work hard to earn their instead they want to earn fast cash tats y
The guy actually trusted someone he never saw before than an actual police officer attending the premises.
I'm surprised.
The skit was hilarious 🤣
LMAO the guy literally just called the police on the police wtf
Hahahaha. LOL.
yea lol tat was funny
Scammers should be punish by caning and more then 10 years jail. Punish them heavily. Always cheating elderly hard earn money.
Canning is only given when there is physical hurt
@@linzixuan29 yea but something tells me they gotta make caning available for those who cheat/scam others of their money, especially the elderly, they're the frequently targeted.
Scammer will put your money inside washing machine to clean 😅. If not clean they wont return.
Can’t help but I really want to say that how stupid can he be when scam prevention is so widely publicised in sg. His wife’s reaction is exactly what I feel.
that's why! damn bodo or what these kind of people.
Gentlemen, when we watch we learn we also criticize. But know that different people grow old and not as alert. Scammers come in all forms. I been careful and I even got scammed for $1 .
We learned but these scammers find new ways to cheat old people.
yea, I agree, the old man should've known considering how long he's been living in Singapore for! He should've known of the scams that were already on the horizon leh
Finally another new Crimewatch episode
Babe wake up, new crimewatch ep dropped 😮💨😮💨
Ms Chong is the best actor of crime watch
😂😂😂
I always enjoy watching this crime investigation series. 😊 We should stay vigilant at all times, scammers are using all kinds of methods to trick & lure their victims on line. 😨
Are scammers are human?
Even a homelessman wont be fooled by this
Homeless man dont have 298k
@@connormcchicken5915 yea they probably don't have that much money, so why should scammers target them?
U will not be scammed if u are a psychopath with no fear and feelings for the death of yourself n your family. Since most are not , they will be vulnerable
Interesting that they used real banks' names for this episode; usually they will use a fictitious one, such as "Ocean Bank". But given the nature of the episode I guess there's no point for them to hide the banks' names.
Nah bro now I know how the scam call centre looks like
it only shows that they are doing their job. this episode is in collaboration with them after all
@@connormcchicken5915 can you give me mcwings?
Why need to hide. It's just common bank names.
Singapore policemen and women. Thank you for your vigilant service. Hope the rest of the world authorities can do the same.
If there are more than 1,000 to 10,000 suspicious scam transaction from bank customers in 1 day, the Police scam centre sure very busy.. 😂😂😂😂
yup -_-
Yooooooo!! New Crimewatch episode!!
If a “fake-friend” scammer calls you, just say “Oh you’re Jerry who still owes me $1k? When are you planning to return it to me?”
Maybe can also try to speak to the caller in another language from another part of the world that the caller might not know.
Well just charge him interest
Wah they all talk like they in english oral exam 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 so funny of you
I wasn't ready when he call 999 on the police SIO 😂
Omg I need to watch this later
I cannot belief a person will not know all the money in his bank account are clean or not. Surely he will know where the money comes from right? And i also cannot believe you need to transfer money away in order for people to check if the money is clean or not. Like they literally look at the notes and verify that they are clean? If someone claims he is police and wants to investigate me, first thing i will do is insist he treat me to a cup of milo at his office in the police station, then we talk.
after so many news and reminders, people still fall for this lol
In order to put a stop to scam, they need to target the heart of the scammer, not the money mule or third parties. They need to know the location or IP addresses of those scam center and put a stop to it
Actaully he call 999 about the fake police officer is ok. cus some fake police officer may pretend to be police and enter. so cant say he do that is wrong
yeah, it was quite smart tbh
Smart move the man did at the 6:53 mark. He verified they were real police officers.
Please Keep Up the good work you are doing! U and your team can save a lot of people of the life savings and money. Scammers are upgrading their scam skills so must u in your anti-scam skills. So pre-amp them and God bless you and your team!
Selling your bank account for 250 is straight up stupid , and how cant they not tell how fishy that sounds 😂
Victims like these.... no words, how can they be so gullible
Historically we’ve always been taught to afraid the law enforcers. Law enforcers cannot arrest the people as they wish.
hey i remember him he play dr james khoo from Dead man tells no tales episode
some rich doofus looses his bank savings and we ought to care? Who funds the anti scam command? why are our taxpaying goes towards people who never bother to practice online hygiene? Man, sometimes we are the ones that shld be paid to be vigilant
But people who fall for the scam are not always rich people. They could be ordinary people who saved a bit of money and then ended up losing all of his or her savings. They could be the canteen cleaner lady who saved $5,000 and then ended up losing all of that savings to the scammer. Of course, we should be vigilant, but we need the police to protect some of the people who are vulnerable in our society.
The victim of this episode is really dumb
The best part was him calling 999 to report these "FAKE" police officers who he don't know are REAL
11:25 and that's the same guy from the investment scam episode in 2016 episode 9
Wait, so the courier lady who gave Robert the 'official' Singapore Police Force Case letter didn't get caught?
08:24, typical scammer reading script.😂😂😂😂
Good job then Singapore! They don't work in malaysia!
I like the part when his wife just exposed him for acting smart infront of his friends and families end up he is the stupid one.
Friend's father lost half a million to these scammers. They had to sell their house to payback to friends and relatives after borrowing. As long as they talk about money, it's a scam.
My mom recently fell for the fake friend scam. I thought the scammer used AI to mimic her friend, now I see my mom was just gullible
While sad to hear the way to prevent it is if you see a unknown number and massage ignore
I got 2 calls of fake friend scam.
The fake friend scam maybe can show in national TV, bill board on street n radio pls
I'm here to see Tavis ❤❤❤😊
They forgot to arrest the scammers at 11:17.
The only solution is to avoid these pitfalls in the future. Having the Police officers handle all these situations is really taking a toll on their physical and mental wellbeing indefinitely.
How can they get the money back
Usually the police nvr get in touch about getting the money back.
Thank you for safe guarding our country!!
Lucky i got no friends... Can't fall for fake friend scam 🤣
AND you shouldn't be craving so desperately for one too!
Hazelle Teo mentioned in the "fake friend" scam that it's NOT a friend that scams you, BUT there has been many cases happening all these while, and I myself have been victimized over the years!
9:39....that old dude really just keeps trying to act like he knows better than the actual cops.
Even if he is real police the real police would never ask for money
Very tireds but cannot sleep
9:30jesus…..but but but but, which part of you’ve been scammed don’t you understand?…..
Why the clickbait, nothing is thrwart, mastermind of scam syndicate not caught .
Mr Chong needs to be charged for lack of due diligence and gross negligence , he broke the law by relinquishing his bank credentials to scam syndicate
dang a whole office with people who scam??/ crazzyyy
the best thing to do is to just ignore all unknown calls.
my sister really actually fell for this scam
Wait a second this place is look like Teban Gardens
Case was years back... dont think that it is a recent case that SPF break...
They, said it was happening 6 months ago. Recovery portion(Whole) money with 4 money mule. That good 298K
6:34 to 6:39 That was hilarious.
the real victim is so gullible to put it nicely, but the actor really portrayed it well
1566😮v
6:12 🤣🤣
👍👍👍
chan ah may LOL
I just play roblox ,mata-verse aka singapore police fore , roblox
Bro if I was the wife, that’s an instant divorce, my husband is an idiot 😅
'These scammers can be very convincing ' no, no they can't, anyone with even half a functioning brain would be able to know that it's scam.
8:24 stupid scammer reading from script 🤣
Lol. Try scam the scammers
The wife is a really good actress. I really felt the pain when she cried about their fictional life savings.
And you forget there are elderly work dozen of years of work to earn & save that much. That is a insult to the elderly.
the victim's wife acted very well
man just called the police on the police
7:10 Awkward....
knn la old people so easy to get scam haha
Hazel teo wearing a wig looks so cool
6:42
They don't show the real suspect and how much time they received anymore
i think this is the first episode that has 2 female investigation officers!
I mean, if they are really this stupid, they deserve to be scam
Why police no catch Bruno when he is the master mind?
Normally these masterminds are never being found and caught, and even if so, it's not that easy, because they are always operating behind the scenes with many layers of henchmen (thus those being caught are always them) under them and even they probably don't even know who they are and /or never met them face to face! As you can see for this case, even the middle men, "inspector lee" and "DPP tan" are not even identified not to mention arrested?
Yeah some of the mastermind in this Crimewatch series didn't get arrested by the police tho
hahahahaha
Can ask james ariokasamy to lead the anti scam centre
This is werid scam
What's the sentences?
working out hopefully can arrest the main guy
I checked for that while watching channel 5 live on MeWatch, but no imprisonment charges displayed.
But for your information, these four culprits may be sentenced up to 10 years’ imprisonment and shall be liable to a fine up to $500,000 if found guilty of money laundering.
@@BlazingWiz80 probably a recent case
Come on man,where is episode 8?It's been one month now
If so easy majority of victims money all being recover untill now my friend reported the scam incident untill now still no news from the SPF yet ....
Farcical, isn’t it?
2023 all no sentence liao 👎
Elliot Gan looks like korean actor Wi Ha Joon
Elliot gan was convicted of money laundering and recieving stolen property. He was sentenced to 8 months imprisonment and fine $2000
John Tan, Ruben Lee and jeffery Soh was convicted of money laundering and recieving stolen property. They were both sentenced to 6 months imprisonment each and fine $2000
(Comment down below if you have found a correct imprisonment charges)
