Sylvester See Sheng Sen, 29, was jailed 14 months on 21st March this year after pleading guilty to nine charges of cheating.

Court heard that See deceived four of his victims that he was selling Purtier Placenta health supplement, a luxury health product exclusively distributed by Singaporean company, Riway International. Products could be bought using cash or commission (points) paid out as part of Riway’s membership plan (Riway Network Programme).

At some point in September 2020, See contacted the first victim and proposed to sell Purtier to him. See told the victim that he cooperated with a senior member of Riway’s programme who could provide 40 sets of Purtier products at a discounted price of S$30,000.

The victim was keen, and urged to pay half of the price in S$15,000 cash and the other half in 15,000 Riway points.

See made an arrangement with a third person who agreed to receive 15,000 Riway points in exchange for S$13,500, which was the amount in cash after the deduction of the administrative fee of 10%.

On Sep 21, 2020, the victim paid for the 40 sets of Purtier products by transferring S$15,000 to See’s bank account and 15,000 points to the third person’s Riway account. The victim was told the products would arrive in four days at the latest, but he never got them.

See instead used the S$15,000 from the victim and S$13,500 he received from the third person for his personal expenses, debts and gambling.

He repeated this with three more victims, contacting them and offering to sell each of them five sets of Purtier Placenta (worth S$3,688 per package) for S$3,500 in December 2020 and May 2021.

See also had a previous conviction. He was fined S$8,000 for stealing S$12,000 worth of valuables from his then father-in-law in 2019.

“I do not know whether you took the fine lightly,” said Judge Lee, “but the offences you have committed this time round are serious, and they are many”.

We all want the best deal at the best price definitely but these high priced health supplements have become tools for scammers to leverage on these days despite itself being an effective cellular premium supplement.

Although clinical applications of stem cell therapy are still at a very early stage of science. At this point, it may seem like a dream rather than reality. It would be a leap to perform such therapies orally, moreover, heavily discounted promotional prices?

Realize Your Dreams

The beauty of direct selling lies in the implementation of a win-win system that binds the interests of the company and the distributors together in glory and defeat. The heart warming direct selling culture and the organizational strength of a big family give everyone the opportunity to create a wealthy and wonderful life. Since direct selling is a platform that allows you to set up a business easily, why do some still fail?

In the past, many have given up on direct selling. The cause of their downfall often lies in the company that chose and not in them. The company’s business philosophy, ability of its management and mindset of its leaders can all result in one not succeeding in direct selling. Associating yourself with an unsuitable direct selling company, having to move yourself from one company to another only to see your efforts end in failure, would you still believe in direct selling?

Therefore, choosing wisely is more important that hard work. Work hard but work smart. Choosing the right direct selling company is your first step towards success.

Only the right direct selling company can allow you to enjoy the benefits of direct selling, ensure that your efforts are not in vain, and help you become our successful business partner.

Protect yourself against scams: The dangers of social engineering

Have you heard of social engineering, vishing and smishing? Take a few minutes to learn about these threats, and protect your identity and information online.

What is social engineering?

Social Engineering is the act of tricking someone into divulging information or taking action, usually by engaging them by email, phone or text messages.

What makes social engineering dangerous is that it relies on mistakes made by legitimate users which are much less predictable and this makes them harder to identify.

What is vishing?

Vishing is the practice of eliciting information or attempting to influence action via the telephone. The goal of vishing is to obtain valuable information by exploiting people’s willingness to help. Attackers can “spoof” (i.e. forge) phone numbers and pose as a figure of authority to obtain sensitive information. Some attackers may even use voice changers to conceal their identity.

Your NRIC or passport numbers, home address or other personal information may be obtained this way. This information could then be used for further information gathering or to gain access to your various accounts.

How to spot a vish?

• Information: The criminals already have your name, address, phone number or bank details. However, they may ask you for a password, credit card details or other information.
• Urgency: You are made to believe the request is very urgent, or that your money is in danger and you have to act fast.
• Phone spoofing: Cybercriminals use convincing phone numbers or sender details to increase the chances of you picking up or responding.
• Holding the line: Cybercriminals can take over your phone line, so if you hang up then make another call to verify the one you just received, you’ll go straight back to the fraudsters.
• Atmosphere: You may hear a lot of background noise, so it sounds like you’re being called from a call centre – or it could simply be sound effects.

What is smishing?

Smishing is phishing that involves a text message. Smishing is particularly scary because people tend to be more inclined to trust a text message than an email. Most people are aware of the security risks involved with clicking on links in emails, but this is less true when it comes to text messages.

How does smishing happen?

Smishing uses elements of social engineering to get you to share your personal information. This tactic leverages your trust in order to obtain your information. The information a fraudster is looking for can be anything from an online password to your credit card information. Once the fraudster has this information, they can often start applying for new credit in your name. Another option used by fraudsters is to say that if you don’t click a link and enter your personal information, you will be charged per day for use of a service. If you haven’t signed up for the service, simply ignore the message.

How to stay safe? Prevention at work, and at home

• Always access and check your accounts regularly.
• Do not reply to the call or SMS directly.
• Never click on links in SMS messages or emails from unknown senders.
• If you are suspicious of a call or SMS, research (and validate) the source – do not use the contact details within the call or message.
• Never give information that the caller/sender asks for. This includes credentials, card details, your card expiry date, CVV, PIN or mother’s maiden name. For calls, inform the caller that you are not authorized to provide this information.
• Be mindful of how you describe your role or share personal information on social media. Increase your privacy settings on these platforms.
• Be alert and vigilant – trust your instincts if the call just doesn’t feel right!

Learn to be wary of scams and identify real opportunity if approved by Singapore Government only.

Finally! I decided to write and blog down my journey again. I want to apologize to my loved ones, for disappointing them and not living up to my fullest potential, especially the past 2 years.

Until today, I had been regretting for a lot of wrong decisions I made in the past, my habits, the lack of discipline, direction and complacency and almost hit with depression and experiencing anxiety every other night.. I hate this feeling!

I cannot thank the people who have helped me enough the past year, my business partner Jayden Ng and mentor David Yeo.

The mistakes I made were silly. Making wrong business decisions, losing money on investments and forex trading I barely got much knowledge or idea what was I doing at the point and accumulated losses amount to S$300,000.. including gambling on sports, lottery etc.

It’s certainly a self-sabotage and I do hope to get lucky someday to win it all back with hardwork and doing things with value instead… nonetheless, there were so MANY important lessons I learnt through this tough and loss process, financially, mentally and physically.

1. Sleep Early and on time. Preferably by 11pm. (get at least 7 hours quality sleep per day, rest and recharge.)
2. Wake up on time, wash up, change and start the day with a right meal.
3. Follow a daily schedule especially if you lack discipline
4. Know your finances, list down your income, fixed and variable expenses, insurance, bills, education etc.
5. Appreciate what you have, practise gratitude daily.

At the end of the day, yes, money is just a number (or a tool) and it doesn’t buy you happiness but it is still very important because it can buy you more time and options in life.

Speaking about money… I missed a rich business partner of mine from the Philippines very much, his passing at the age of 50 taught me not to focus on simply losses, move on with money, work hard and enjoy life.

Learn to earn money the right way and stay away from getting rich quick ways, gambling or taking shortcuts. Exercise 3 times a week, eat healthy and on time, rest well and grind.

I’m gonna be positive because each day is a new day and to strive to become a better man, father, husband, son, bro and friend.

I have been thinking of starting a YouTube channel or TikTok account to share about my thoughts or probably become a philosopher to relate with people who walked my path and avoiding these mistakes. Send me an email or comment if you think I should!
