Scammers have a tough job.
Day after day, they make the gruelling walk from their beds to their work desk and call hundreds of unsuspecting victims, hoping one of them will pick up.
And when they do, they don’t always manage to dupe the victims, meaning they have to resort to other means of making money, such as getting an actual job.
Poor things.
Fortunately for one inept fraudster, many netizens who found out about his scam offered “advice” on how to improve, mostly in the form of jokes and insults.
And much to everyone’s surprise, the scammer seems to have taken this on board.
Scammer Who Donned SPF Uniform Seemed to Take Online Feedback & Now Looks Better
Remember the laughably bad scammer who tried to impersonate a CID officer but made everyone chuckle instead?
The man was so bad at his “job’ that he couldn’t even get a proper-looking SPF cap without a New York Yankees logo next to it.
His attempt to scam a Facebook user came to light when the latter shared details of her encounter with the man in a post two weeks ago.
After all the jibes, the scammer has finally made some improvements.
Another Facebook user who received a call from someone claiming to be the police shared a picture of the scammer in a post on Complaint Singapore.
Have a look:
As you can see, the scammer isn’t wearing an SPF uniform anymore, and has chosen a different cap – one with an Adidas logo instead, because everyone knows the SPF is sponsored by Adidas.
Clearly, this is a different person, but given his impersonation style, one can assume that he’s from the same group of scammers as the man with the Yankees cap.
Another picture of a scammer trying a similar swindle was also shared in the group:
It’s hard to tell if these two new scammers are the same person, but one thing’s for sure – they’re both equally bad at their job.
Even if the scammer has been an amazing cosplayer, the prefix in his number would have given him away.

Asked to Verify ATM & Bank Details
In the earlier scam, the Facebook user said that the scammer had identified himself as a CID officer and needed to verify her ATM and bank card details. He even flashed a fake pass, hoping to add to his non-existent legitimacy.
She warned the public to be wary of such scams and not to give him any personal details.
Do be warned that not all scammers are as laughably incompetent as these guys; many scams these days are incredibly sophisticated and easy to fall for.
Whether such requests are through text, video call, or email, always refrain from giving out personal information and bank details. This includes passwords, OTPs, and even usernames.
Government agencies will never ask for payment through telephone calls or other social messaging platforms, which is often a ruse scam victims fall for.
As for the scammers, maybe it’s time to invest in at least one all-black cap and a more believable police uniform. Otherwise, all you’re going to get from us are taunts and sneers.
