saw a video on TikTok .. some girl showing some hdb block and indicating x dollar for 1hr/2hr seafood..

When reach the block, told me to wait at certain spot that she will come down. then after 5min, told me that someone need to call me to verify first (say scare of undercover). I sense something is not right, so told her No via msg. someone called via WhatsApp immediately anyway, I pick up, and the other side start asking for personal details for "verification".. I reject him and told him not proceeding with the appointment, and hangup..
then the crazy thing happen, the person use at least 10 different phone numbers from all over the world, calling me via WhatsApp, also telegram. mostly I just press off, but 1 or 2 I pickup, the other side just keep threatening(like know your number, can find you etc... etc..) .. with those typical swearing words non-stop.. I was very pissed, shouted back and hangup again. and then calls continue coming from different number for the next 30min also. damn crazy experience. totally spoiled my mood.
lesson learn... better go to those with proper listing/shop etc. or unless refer by bro here.. those tiktoks.. especially advertising just one person.. be very careful..

Thank you for sharing your story bro. I also kena before once a few years ago.
Initially I was wondering why need to collect personal details. Waited at one area like an idiot then suddenly some guy with foreign accent calling me and speaking in mandarin (lucky my chinese was bad so couldnt understand what he was spewing)
When he say AXS I suddenly realize I was going to fall into a trap. Immediately hang up, block the number & switch off phone.
Lesson learnt was this:
1. Such tactics will always ask where you stay, then direct you to a location near your place
2. If need to collect details, like phone number, straight away give up.
3. If unsure, always go into the ones with the physical shop
