Beware of teen boys going door to door telling sob stories to sell ice cream at way above retail price.
Stomper JJ wants to warn others after her family fell for such a ruse on Dec 27 at around 7.20pm.
She recounted: “I was visited by a boy claiming that he was selling ice cream to support his four siblings. His mother would scold if he couldn’t sell the ice cream. He kept touching his torn shirt.
“My six-year-old boy was an empathic person and begged my husband to buy the ice-cream to support the boy.”
They paid $30 for the ice cream, which the Stomper later found out cost only $8.50.
The Stomper, who lives in Tampines GreenGem, said: “I checked in our estate group chat. It turned out to be a scam.
