Dear ASS Editors,
I'm sure the majority of you who
read this will know what Carousell is, but if you dont: Carousell
is an extremely popular buying/selling platform that most teens and
some working adults in Singapore use! 95% of the time it is safe,
and most of us on it are genuine and honest sellers/buyers who have
integrity. Unlike...Filzah Amani Ylisli

^ These are listings that a past
victim has been putting up to try to warn and steer people away
from her. Unfortunately I didn't see this before I gave her my
money.
EDIT: I removed her working location, school and censored her phone
number because she's returned mine and 5 other victims' money once
I posted this. (She did try to make dumb excuses at first but
stopped and just admitted after I made it clear that I'm not taking
any of her shit.) I'm in the process of getting as many of the
other victims' bank info so they will get their money back. So far
there's been about 15 of us. Unfortunately, I'm sure there are
waaay more people whom she's scammed over this long period of time
that I won't be able to contact and help get back their money.
She's an experienced conwoman who
has been scamming many innocent people on carousell for years with
dozens and dozens of different accounts. She's very polite and
prompt in replies, until the moment you transfer her your money.
She vanishes into thin air and you won't hear from her again. She
will fill her page with listings of items that are relevant in the
current, items that are "trendy" or "in", things that people sought
after on Carousell. She will list her items at an alarmingly low
price, for example: A BNIP Beauty blender for $12 (with the caption
that she got it as a gift but she already has 2 back ups) while
everyone else on carousell is selling it at $25, more than double
her price.
Because majority of us on
carousell are looking for quick bargains, so many of us will be
baited by her listings on her different accounts that were put up
to intentionally tempt us to "buy" from her. I say "buy" because
really, she has no intention of selling it to you. She continuously
cheats people of their money, gets reported to Carousell admin,
gets suspended and hops onto another one of her hundreds of
accounts. So far, no one has stopped her because she's smart and
quick to disappear without a trace. (Or so she thinks!)
Initially, I gave her the benefit
of a doubt and even told her I understood if she had not mailed out
the items like she said she would, as it was new years period and
she might be busy celebrating and spending time with her family.
Still, I got no response from her. After a few days I got really
suspicious since she never marked the item I paid for as SOLD, and
she also did not click to accept my offer. The items were left on
her page, and there were clearly many other interested parties. I
found out that I had transferred $42 to her for items that she did
not even have anymore.
Since she had two recent positive
feedbacks on her page, I assumed she was kinda trustworthy, which I
was so wrong about. I messaged the two girls who left her
feedbacks, and their deals were successful because they did meet
ups. None of them had her contact number, and they both said that
she works at NEX wearing her black Sephora uniform, and stays near
Cove LRT. I checked with one of them and found out that she
actually purchased the exact same items that I had bought! She was
collecting money for items that were already sold! How f'ed up is
that?!
I was going to comment on all her
listings to warn others not to give their money to her, but I saw
that someone else who she scammed had already done that. I've been
talking to her and since then we have found 2 more girls who have
been scammed by the same carousell account, which makes us 4. Note
that this is just ONE account which has been up for less than a
week, she has SO many more accounts with different names that has
been suspended for scamming! Imagine the amount of money and people
she has collected from doing this for years!
I messaged her yesterday to tell
her that if she does not return me and the other girls' money by
12am last night, that I would be pursuing this matter. She clearly
was not afraid at all after having gotten away scot-free hundreds
of times. It's unfortunate that most people who get scammed would
just let it slide so easily, because now she has scammed even more
people and have gotten away with it just like that.
Filzah, sweetie. Check yourself
before you wreck yourself. I gave you your chance, and you chose
this. I told you I wasn't going to just let this slide. I told you
you wouldn't get away with this. Since you refused to return the
money you stole, I spent alot of yesterday going back and forth
your loopholes, talking to more people, sourcing for more
information, and now I know who you are and where you're from. I'm
sure you didn't win the "Guess Girl Model Search" for a reason...
they probably saw through how fake you are. Karma's coming for you,
and it's going to hit you like a truck. In your face.
