Yet another person duped at Sim Lim

James (not his real name), a Secondary 2 student, has been here for about eight months.

Miss Catherine Lim, a tutor in her mid 30s, said she had noticed during one of her lessons that her 15-year-old student, who is in a secondary school here, was depressed.

She told The New Paper: "He told me he was overcharged for the gaming console he bought from Sim Lim Square last month."

On Feb 22, he went to Sim Lim Square to check if he could repair his laptop. A PSP gaming console on display outside a shop called PlayEdge caught his attention.

A sticker on the box listed its cost as $193. He gave the salesman a $1,000 note and expected change.

He agreed to buy a screen protector and a crystal case. Without telling him the price, the salesman opened the box and put on the screen protector.

The salesman then thumped on the calculator and came up with a sum of $824.

That was not the end of his ordeal... CLICK>>> ORIGINAL SOURCE
