Please be aware of this man.
My friends have met this guy for four times and all of the instances are of the same content of scam.
Recently, a friend met this person at the bus stop outside West Mall. Here are the exact words from my friend. “He suddenly came to the bus stop I was at and he pretended to faint and said he was having an asthma attack and was looking for his asthma inhaler and he lived at Tampines and without it he can’t make his way home as he might pass out anytime.” My friend then decided to call for him an ambulance but he refused.
In another instance, he was inside Tampines MRT station, with the same asthma attack drama and my friend was nice enough to accompany him out of the station to hire a taxi. He then asked my friend for money, but when my friend said he had no money with him, he scolded my friend.
What the person expects you to do is to give him some money for sympathy to take a taxi or to a doctor.
If we don’t do anything, others could possibly get cheated. So please do share.

anyone seen this guy around?
Many people replied to Farhan's post to say they also spotted the same guy in different uniforms at various places.
He always has a sob story, fake health scare and then asks people for money.
If they don't have any to give him, he yells at them with vulgarities.
He soon posted an apology on another website's FB page after many people reported encounters with him.
