RadX Moderator April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 More apt to start a new one on this scammer thingy. Old man hurls himself onto stationary car at Ang Mo Kio StompThursday, Apr 09, 2015 unclefakeaccident_main.jpg 1980 8 0 3 0 Print A driver slowed his car down when he noticed an elderly man standing in the middle of the road, but was shocked when the latter flung himself onto the car bonnet. The driver, who sent footage of the incident to citizen journalism website Stomp, said the incident happened yesterday, Apr 8, at about 4.55pm along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6. In footage caught by his car's dashboard camera, he slowed down as the elderly man raised his hands and seemed to want to cross the road. He recounted: "A man tried to slow my car down by raising his hands as he pretended to cross the road illegally.

Source: Stomp View more "As I slowed down to let him pass, he suddenly jumped onto my front bonnet as if he was knocked down!" The incident has raised alarms as to whether it could have been a fake accident scam, which are rife in China. In such cases, the perpetrator would pretend to be injured by claiming that they were knocked down by a car, and then proceed to try claiming money from insurance. The driver quickly drove away as he did not want to hold up traffic. However, he noted that the man looked like he was about to try the same stunt on another vehicle. - See more at: http://news.asiaone.com/news/singapore/old-man-hurls-himself-stationary-car-ang-mo-kio#sthash.mQYPr19l.dpuf https://www.facebook.com/straitstimes.stomp/photos/a.228017343896382.64081.144053245626126/969570346407741/?type=1&theater Video here..sibei drama http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/this-urban-jungle/chinas-fake-accident-scam-in-spore-watch-how-old-man-hurls-himself-onto-stationary#xtor=CS1-2 ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leinad8919 Turbocharged April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Now we learn. Car cam is almost a must have & if such "accident" happens, act & admit mistake first to get the perpetrator's details, then send video to TP......Can't let these scammers off. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leinad8919 Turbocharged April 9, 2015 Share April 9, 2015 Can sue him if he scratched or dented my bonnet in the process of scam? When he can resort to such scam, don't think you can get much out of him. He'd better off getting some fame joining senior high jump track & field event.

Good that the driver has a camera, if not, it will be his words against the old man's words... This will further highlight the importance of having a camera in the car :) Hmm... on a side note, this man may not be able to win an oscars.... acting a bit off leh But then, hopefully he won't repeat this anymore, cos it is really dangerous on a busy road.... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ins1dious Turbocharged April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 CR7 could learn a thing or two from this old man. But I'm more upset at the circumstances that has made this 80-yr old resort to scamming like this. Who to blame... him, his children or society? 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid Hypersonic April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Guys who are still hesitating to buy a camera, I don't know what you are waiting for. If something like this or an accident happens to you that is not your fault, then you LLST and thoroughly deserved it. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuPerBoRed Twincharged April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Don't understand why he didn't stop to report the case to the police, or even question the old man. "Let it be someone else's problem" ? I kenna once, an old man stopped in the middle of the road, I stopped. He walked over to me and he showed me a bag of medicine in his hands, asked if he can have $10 to take a taxi to see the doctor. I offered to send him to the doctor's he denied. I gave $10 and didn't question more, but I never see him again. Sure, some people are out to scam, some people have genuine problems (family or personal or health). Posting on stomp will never tell you the full story. agree fully... so many ppl nowadays more interested to be the one to put it on social media* then truely helping out/solving the problem *don't acknowledging stomp as a social medium tho.

1fast1 Supersonic April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 Look like he spotted the car cam, and decided to look for another victim. Should turn off my recording LED to catch such cases. Then can pretend to be apologetic, saying "are you OK?" etc., lead him on, get his particulars. Then make police report and really hantam the fella big big. Take him off the streets (hopefully straight into a prison cell) so that no other innocent motorists are ever targeted again. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atonchia Supersonic April 10, 2015 Share April 10, 2015 CR7 could learn a thing or two from this old man. But I'm more upset at the circumstances that has made this 80-yr old resort to scamming like this. Who to blame... him, his children or society? Usually a bit of both. Sure, we would like to know the background and history of such person. But is what can society do now at this moment to help this group from pulling such scam to survive. I don't think the old man is looking to cheat enough to buy a semi-D. If it's meant for the very basic needs of survival then something is not very right in our society now. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
