Sorry to hear about your plight Simon. The very first time I encountered it was 2 years ago at an car park near ##### Marine. I was suspicious but reluctant to "offend" them as they usually approach me when I am parking my car and I am afraid that that my car will be dis-figured when I am gone.

But after several time, and after hearing from friends who have been conned, I usually will give the guys in blue a call whenever I meet these people.

i also got approached a few times already, 1st time i encountered was a few yrs back, they say they got extra sets of av speakers, and dun want to bring back to the office, just some kopi money will do, then i told them i using bose system no need other system lol

after that i read about this scam, then subsequent time i got approached again i just told them eh alot of people doing already lah , very old style already and they just went off immediately in a rush

Same approach but this time by 2 ladies in a sedan.

l also met that 2 chi guys just 3 weeks ago and they stopped me while l was abt to cross a small road in serangoon nth. Same thing, they want to clear a set of new branded speakers urgently and asked me to give them some money to buy beer. Didn't take the bait cos they looked damned dubious to me and things too good to be true.

think it was reported in the news recently. they claimed the wine to be vintage but thenews reporter got the wine experts to taste them and turned out to be cheap wine.
