SPF: Be Careful Of People Selling Items Online For Prices “That Sound Too Good To Be True”

The Singapore Police Force reminds the general public to be careful when they see items being sold online for prices that way too good to be true.

See an AirPod online that’s going for $50 or even $100? Don’t buy it.

The most foolproof way to ensure that you’re purchasing authentic and genuine items is to buy it from authorised dealers and shops which you can find here.

Also, be sure to only give your money to the seller after you have received the item.

“Bear in mind that the party that you are dealing with online is a stranger,” said the police. “Whenever possible, only pay upon your receipt of the item.”
