As mentioned in my previous post, my dad was recently scammed.
There was a neighbourhood police post nearby. I say ‘was’ as even though the physical unit space was there, it’s no longer manned by the police.
In its place is some sort of self-service reporting kiosk. Initially, I thought there would be sort of video-on-demand kind of video calls but I didn’t see any way of activating that service.
There were on-screen prompts to help someone make a police report but my dad told me later that, if I weren’t there, he wouldn’t have known how to begin making the report.
He told me that he would have probably waited or gone to the Neighbourhood Police Centre instead even though he does realise that time is of the essence especially in these cases when the scam is fresh.
