Singaporeans were scammed of more than $10 million in the first six months of 2023. Unfortunately, the so-called ‘scamdemic’ shows no signs of slowing down.

Clearly, consumers feel that businesses are not doing enough to protect them and want them to take greater responsibility.

Jan Sysmans, Mobile App Security Evangelist of Appdome explains why businesses should pay attention to what their customers are saying.

From heartland stereotypes and Crazy Rich Asians comparisons to the age-old East vs West vs North side rivalry, the crew unpacks whether this was an honest look at everyday Singapore or just one outsider judging an entire country from a back alley.
