F&B scams have been making their rounds in Singapore for a few years now — the ruse usually involves a caller ringing up eateries pretending to be a customer looking to place a large order.
The scam part comes in when the order becomes increasingly complicated, as the caller would insist that the eatery owner order expensive food or wine on his behalf and pay for them in advance.
One F&B owner who fell for the scam was Phyllis Seah, 27, who runs lok lok chain Fei Zhu Lok Lok. It currently has two hawker outlets and a mall restaurant.
