Donation Scam🚨 Citizen Police Please!!

Donate a packet of rice Donation Drive 365 Days?!🚨

There is this guy roughly 20 years old going around woodlands, Marsiling, Bukit Batok, Tampines, Raffles Place MRT and more places asking for donation for a packet of rice for orphanage.

Donation is from $10/packet. And he will show you his NRIC, he targets mostly vulnerable age group, mostly converse in Chinese and his voice is loud hence suitable for this purpose of prospecting or soliciting.

What I’m advocating here is, please guide our parents or love ones to be cautious. In my opinion, fund raising needs license and is not done so frequently. Furthermore, definitely he is not volunteering as it is an everyday affair. Thus, please think twice before donating as it breeds unlicensed soliciting?

Either donate directly, or even if one choose to buy from any savings or investment, in my opinion it is better even if the product is not suitable as the money is still yours and the process is legal to an extent. Thus the message is to support the legal and legitimate business rather than this group of people who do not pay a rent or truly might not donate the earnings.

Thanks for reading my rant but please do give a thought and if it make sense to you, please advocate the same. Our society should be breed on the right education and shouldn’t be encouraging such a social practice.

* On a side note, once he told someone that he was in a taxi and he lose his donation bag. He ask to lend money. Initially he spammed called the person. When the person ask him to text he was reluctant. The person didn’t pick up, later he chose to text. This is my opinion, take a read and gauge.
