Our reader informed us of a racist Carousell user who only wants to rent her Fernvale property to non-Indians. Whatever happened to "unifying the people"?

A netizen warned Carousell buyers to be careful of a seller who cheated her friend of $200. Her friend had wanted to buy a fish tank from the seller, who asked to pay $150 before the meet up. In subsequent exchanges, the scammer did not reply even though the buyer kept pressing him to deliver the item and to do a refund.

More than 40 people have been cheated by a PayPal scam which involves fake buyers sending fake emails to pretend that they have paid for the items. The emails reportedly looked legitimate as it seemed to have come from PayPal and other reputable banks. In some cases, they cheated people of fake "admin fees" to activate their PayPal accounts in order for them to receive payment. Victims of the scam did not receive a single cent. The SPF is warning everyone to always seek official verification by logging in to their PayPal accounts first, rather than opening attachments in emails or freely giving out their credit card details.

It has been reported that the sellers of a push cart selling chestnuts at Changi Village had been using the toilet for the disabled as their storeroom! On weekends, business is always brisk for the push cart stall which sells 250 grams of chestnuts for $5. An eagle-eyed customer noticed that one of the sellers would always walk towards the toilet, which is about 20 meters away from the stall, enter the disabled toilet and emerge within seconds with a sack. The seller would then remove the chestnuts from the sack and place them in a fan cover before roasting them. When the seller was approached, he claimed that there is no issue with hygiene as the sack was "waterproof". He added that the sack was place a good distance away from the toilet bowl and that the toilet was used infrequently. He added that the chestnuts are roasted at high temperature, since customers only eat the nuts and not the shells, the seller said that customers should not kick a fuss!

Please help me share this incident around to beware of this scammer cheating people's hard earn money. I don't usually do this, but I think DAVE TAN deserved to be exposed.

After a period of time, the seller (Dave Tan) will come back with a new Facebook account cheating people's hard earned money.
