Scammer Allegedly Goes Door-To-Door In Sengkang Asking For Temple Donations

Been making extravagant donations every time someone visits your household in Sengkang?

Feeling real proud of yourself, and fully expecting an express ticket to Heaven’s most luxurious lounge when you eventually pass on in 159 years?

Well, hold on to that hope for just a little bit, because your donation might not have been as charitable as you previously thought.

Not that you donated just $0.50, but rather the fact that the organisation you wittingly donated to…

Might not have been a charitable organisation at all.

Man Allegedly Goes Door-To-Door In Sengkang Asking For Temple Donations

In today’s episode of Thou Art Not As Charitable As You Thought Tuesday, breaking news has emerged:

An alleged scammer has been going from door to door in Sengkang, asking residents for temple donations.

This is in accordance to a Facebook post by our ever-lovable Sengkang West Zone B RC on Sunday (20 October), The post has since gone viral, accumulating 460 shares in the mere span of two days.

Here, you can view the Facebook post for yourself down below:

Lest you can’t load the post for some god-forsaken reason, here’s a transcript courtesy of my flabby fingers:

“There have been incidents of a person going around door to door and requesting donations for a temple. Do note that the temple does not send people door to door to ask for donations.
■
If you experience such an incident, please do not take matters into your own hands. Politely apologise for not donating and immediately call Sengkang Neighbourhood Police Centre at 1800-3438999.
■
Let’s stay safe together.”

Pictures of the offending culprit would lie as follows:

Clad in a black T-shirt, the man can be seen holding a clipboard as he conversed with a resident at the door.

However, he seems to lack any form of identification or proof that legalises the soliciting of donations.

The Residents’ Committee (RC) has since noted that the man was probably a scammer, as it’s not routine for temples to request for donations in such a manner.

Should you encounter such a figure, you’re advised not to donate and instead dial your nearest Neighbourhood Police Center (NPC) if you see someone like him.

Sengkang residents can call the Sengkang Police Center immediately at 1800-3438999.

On The Latest Episode Of Netizens React To Fake Temple Scammer

After the warning, Netizens have been rather enthusiastic about spamming the ‘share button’. But apart from the overwhelming amount of shares, it seems that our locals have been vocalising some rather prudent thoughts too.

One, for instance, asked which temple the dude claimed to represent.

While another spoke what everyone’s probably thinking.

Meanwhile, others advocated for the truth.

Though it seems that Sengkang’s not the only area hit, as elsewhere victims have been falling prey to this particular lady-killer.

Anchorvale too, from the looks of it.

Which Is Why You Shouldn’t Rest On Your Laurels Just Yet, Folks

Sure, Sengkang might be the worst-hit area thus far, but the fact remains that the Temple Impersonator has been attacking other areas, and nobody knows whether he will one day assault your area…

Like the temple impersonator he is.

So don’t rest on your laurels just yet, always stay vigilant and above all else…

Don’t answer the door, no matter what happens.

“OI YOU SIAO LANG KIA OPEN THE DOOR LA WHAT YOU DOING YOU USELESS SON I SHOULD’VE JUST APPLIED A CHOKEHOLD ON YOU WHEN YOU WERE BORN AND THROWN YOU DOWN THE FERRIS WHEEL OPEN THE DOOR YOU IMBECILE”

Alright maybe except for your parents. They’re fine.
