Three food delivery riders allegedly became caught up in a suspected loanshark harassment case after arriving one after another with cash-on-delivery (COD) orders at the same condominium unit in Clementi.
On July 7, TikTok user Klinsmann, who goes by @klins_05, shared three videos of the incident at West Coast Vale condominium.
Speaking to Stomp, 21-year-old Foodpanda rider Klinsmann Tay said the incident occurred at around 3.45pm on July 6.
He had collected the order from an eatery at Ng Teng Fong Hospital before heading to the condominium unit. After knocking on the door, a woman â later identified as the landlady â informed him that the intended recipient, a tenant, was not at home.
After checking the recipientâs details on his phone, the landlady confirmed they belonged to her tenant but said the tenant had not placed the order.

Tay said he had already tried calling the recipient several times but was unable to get through. He also asked the landlady if the tenant was facing financial difficulties or had any issues with loansharks.
The landlady told him to contact the tenant directly as she was busy with a meeting. In the video, Klinsmann added a text caption quipping that she was trying to âavoid liabilityâ before she closed the door.
Left standing in the corridor, he began to suspect the order could be linked to a loanshark harassment case.
Multiple food delivery riders affected
In a subsequent video, a second food delivery rider arrived at the same unit with another COD order. Tay intercepted him and warned him that the order might be part of a scam.
Shortly afterwards, a third rider also turned up with yet another COD order, which Tay urged him to cancel.
The orders were valued at $50 and $65 respectively.
Tay said the riders would not be able to contact the recipient, claiming the registered phone number was from Malaysia.
To avoid food wastage, he suggested the other riders either eat it themselves or give it away.
