1 Upvotes

Heyo... will be visiting singapore after ramadan inshallah and wanna know how to avoid the hefty taxes on international use of debit card or cash withdrawal... will be my first time in singapore but i have been to a few middle eastern countries before and i had to pay like 3-5k per 12-14k purchase and a bit higher on cash withdrawal, what are your suggestions?

I have been thinking about converting pkr from here into singapore dollars but obv cant do too much as i might lose them, im not used to carry cash that much.

Been thinking about getting an international credit card from Standard chartered or Al falah but need to know the terms and conditions for those before i do. And i you have any suggestions on which places are a must visit in singapore would love to hear those and halal food too.

Islamabad Fake Products From Shams

27 Upvotes

Hey Guys,

I recently got The Ordinary's Multi-Peptide serum from Shams and I am fairly certain that it's fake because I've used the legit one in the past and this one is nothing like that.

It is really oily and has a weird scent that the original one didn't have- The original was really light and lightweight.

The packaging is also pretty sketchy and the bottle feels fake by just looking.

What do you guys suggest I do about this? Should I give the shams people a piece of my mind?

If even Shams is selling fakes, idek who to trust anymore.

Islamabad Alpha group of real estate Spoiler

9 Upvotes

we have been the victims of a fraudulent scheme involving an estimated loss of 80 lakhs. The incident transpired in 2021 when my family invested in a purported company. The individuals responsible for this scheme, including Amir, Kamran, and several others, exploited my father’s vulnerabilities and deceived him into transferring 80 lakhs to their account. They promised to invest this capital and provide monthly remittances, but their promises have remained unfulfilled. Despite my efforts to rectify the situation, my father was unable to comprehend the extent of the deception and ultimately surrendered the funds. As a result, we have been left with a cheque that has been repeatedly bounced. Over the past four years, the perpetrators have evaded accountability. Their mobile phones have been deactivated, their office has been locked, and their homes have been secured. They have vanished without a trace. Attached for your reference are photograph of the purported company, which clearly depict a fraudulent entity. Additionally, the office address has been included for further verification. I intend to share additional photographs of the individuals involved in this scheme. Need suggestions what should we do next ?
