Scammers Turn King Kong Media Into The New Job‑Scam Hub
It’s no secret that online fraudsters are constantly finding new tricks, and this week they chose our own King Kong Media Production as their latest playground.
The Warning From the Company
On April 21, Mark Lee’s crew posted a quick notice on their social media accounts: “Beware—people are using the name of King Kong Media to set up fake job offers.” The screenshot they shared showed a shady group chat titled “King Kong Media Group DX20.” Inside it, scammers were handing out “tasks” that basically asked you to like posts on social media.
Yet, things got a bit sassy. One message that landed in a victim’s inbox read: “TikTok, Congratulates for being invited, for join our team to earn $50-$350 daily work from home,” complete with a code and a link that directed the victim to a WhatsApp chat with the fraudster.
A “Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime” Offer?
King Kong Media’s executive director, Tang Wing Fai, revealed to Lianhe Zaobao that the scammers even tried to make the lure even sweeter. They pretended to offer victims a chance to become “artistes.” You’d get double the salary— but first you’d have to pay money to become a “VIP member” of the scam ring.
The Real Cost to Victims
Wing Fai said the company’s hotline has already received over ten calls from people who fell into these traps. One report from a Singaporean Malay man—lost a staggering $6,000. He mentioned he can’t celebrate Hari Raya because his hard‑earned cash has vanished.
Bottom Line
- Don’t fall for job offers that ask you to “like” posts or require upfront payments for a promised “higher salary.”
- When a scammer tries to get you to join a group chat or send money, consider that a clear red flag.
- If you’ve been contacted out of the blue by anyone claiming to be from King Kong Media, do not share your bank details.
- Speak up and report suspicious activity— the more people who know, the fewer runners the scammers can hit.
Keep your eyes peeled: scammers are getting chatty, and your wallet isn’t going to self‑repay for those “extra‑large” offers.
Kidnapped by the King of Social Media? A Call to Caution from King Kong Media Production
In a move that reads like a plot twist from a thriller, the production house King Kong Media Production has just filed a police report and is waving a red flag: keep your personal details safe and don’t spill the beans on unfriendly websites.
What’s Going On?
Recent cyber‑theft campaigns have surged, and this is our friendly reminder that the internet is full of shady characters. A silent warning from a media giant tells the public to stay wary of those urgent messages that come with a quick “reply” request or a chance to win something big. These unscrupulous folks often dig deep, compromising your privacy for a quick digital payoff.
Key Take‑aways from the Police Report
- Keep Personal Info Private: Don’t share your phone numbers, addresses, or social media passwords on unreliable platforms.
- Verify the Source: If a message looks too good to be true, it probably is.
- Report Suspicious Activity: Submit a clear description of any phishing attempts or suspicious transactions to the authorities.
- Remember the Timing: Never provide sensitive information in quick responses—real threats often need time to plan.
