Singaporeans Outraged After Learning Scams Still Occurring Despite Stern Warnings
SINGAPORE - A nation awoke this morning to discover that scams are still taking place regularly, in spite of the government's strongest finger wagging.
Concerned citizens expressed disbelief, insisting there was simply no way scammers could continue their activities after seeing the disapproving glare on ministers' faces during press conferences.
"I'm flabbergasted, honestly," said local man Alvin Tan. "When the authorities say in their serious voice that scams are very bad, how can there still be victims out there?"
Some theorized that perhaps the public service announcements on LCD screens in HDB lifts were not big and red enough.
"If we can make the words FLASHING RED, maybe that will get through," said Reddit user AnnoyedSingaporean123.
Other netizens recommended even more strongly-worded warnings to convey the government's immense disappointment in those who still fall for scams.
"We need to let people know that the government is very, very upset with them when they give money to scammers," said Facebook user Iamverysmart. "Maybe if we use words like 'foolish' and 'gullible' they will understand the gravity of the situation."
At press time, the nation was still waiting patiently for scammers to turn themselves in out of shame after seeing another government minister shake his head slowly while talking about the latest scam numbers.
