RIP:   A Brazilian man was riding a bike, because he hit a dog that suddenly rushed out of the road, he fell to the ground without care. He didn't expect the glass in his pocket to break when he fell, and the debris directly stabbed into the thigh artery, causing him to lose too much blood and eventually died.   https://www.facebook.com/reel/1914856275884824

A man lost at least S$4.9 million to a Strait of Hormuz funding assistance scam involving the impersonation of PM Wong and other government officials.    https://cna.asia/48WwiWa   Based on the details provided, here is the summary of the incident in English:   Case Summary   A man in Singapore lost at least S$4.9 million after falling victim to a highly sophisticated scam involving the impersonation of Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and other government officials.   How the Scam Worked   1. Initial Contact: The victim was contacted via WhatsApp by someone posing as the Secretary to the Cabinet, Wong Hong Kuan. The scammer claimed that PM Lawrence Wong required the victim's urgent assistance. 2. The Pretext: The scammers alleged that Singapore needed "emergency funding assistance" due to the geopolitical situation in the Strait of Hormuz. They promised the victim that the funds would be reimbursed within 15 working days. 3. Sophisticated Deception:- Fake Documents: The victim received emails from a non-government address ( proton.me ) containing "official" letters of guarantee purportedly signed by PM Wong. He was also asked to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). - AI Deepfakes: The victim was invited to a Zoom video call where AI deepfake technology was used to simulate the appearance and voice of PM Wong and other local and foreign officials to gain the victim's trust. 4. The Transaction: Convinced by the video call and documents, the victim made multiple transfers totaling S$4.9 million to various corporate bank accounts provided by the scammers.   Key Warnings   - Verification: The police reiterated that government officials will never request money transfers or sensitive personal information via social media or unofficial email accounts. - Email Domains: Official government communications in Singapore always come from addresses ending in .gov.sg. - Deepfake Awareness: This case highlights the increasing use of AI to create realistic video impersonations.   The scam was discovered on May 14, 2026, when the victim contacted the Cabinet Office to verify the request. PM Lawrence Wong has since issued a public warning on social media advising citizens to remain vigilant against impersonation scams.
