You deleted your second thread about this? You said you queued to buy something only to realized you do not have internet banking and couldn't pay, worse this is going to be the case for next 3-5 years?

We asked why you only have 1 bank account and why you will be blocked for 3-5 years, you never reply since.

I'm vigilant yet nearly tio scammed on carouhell:

1) scammer used compromised account for mbs room. meaning past reviews were legit, but the new listing (room) wasn't. Almost fell for it but the offer was too good to be true. Didn't take the bait. The account was banned soon after

2) COD luxury goods scam: tried to get a so called "brand new 100% guaranteed authentic" LV backpack. key word: COD. seller has good reviews. reviewers have long account history. and it's COD + money back guaranteed. so i paid a small amount of deposit. but the price was too fishy. i searched a bit deeper and found that there are COD scams - delivery guy is not from seller but standard courier service. they won't let you inspect the item. you just have to pay them upon receiving and they are not responsible whether the item is counterfeit. so in short, you wont get your money back even if you can verify that the item is fake. i "threatened" with police report and i got the order cancelled and deposit back. i should have filed a police report but spf won't do shat so neh mind

thats why nowadays i stop trying to buy or sell 2nd hand items. not worth it

TBH many companies do have listening Deficit culture where feedback and complains are ignored.
I no need to quote which obvious company like Carousell that is why many scams and cheats.
Since scammers or cheats can just block you than run away.

Reporting to Carousell, the customer service will just reply you with a AI generated reply.
To me Listening Deficit culture in many workplace is a serious issue that is why in some company
or even Gov sector.

People just come and go, even if you see something not right or the boss one kind.
You can't do much unless someone's workplace allow employee to feedback and be constructive.
Which I highly doubt there are any since most work culture are top-down work culture.

For myself I always emphasis feedback and complaint so we can do better not just for the company
but also for customer.
No coy in SG does this seriously since whatever the boss or RO say goes.

Same with customer service centre, management pass you the SOP or handbook they have to follow.
If anyone here your coy management or boss welcome feedback feel free to share.
I highly doubt got such coy.
