SINGAPORE - Scams can kill, and have caused victims to take their own lives or engage in self-harm.
Said DAC Yap: “In the course of our investigation work, we have seen heart-breaking incidents where victims sink into bouts of depression, self-harm, with some even taking their own lives.” She recalled another case where a woman had fallen for a government official impersonation scam, and had handed over all her money to the scammers before she realised she was a victim and made a police report.The officers rang her, and heard the faint ringing of a mobile phone from inside the unit.
“This is why we have to take scams seriously and work with the community and our stakeholders to stop these scam syndicates.” He said: “The family members and loved ones of scam victims are often greatly affected. In some cases, victims do desperate things, like turning to suicide and hurting themselves, and their loved ones have to live with the consequences.”
“Hindsight is always perfect, and the ones affected may have to live with the whys and the grief. This guilt can be very intense.”Singapore takes a multi-pronged approach to tackling scams by getting the Government, private sector and community to work together.
