2. Is there a way I can request MOM to review my case as gap from April-oct is .....

Re: Scammers operating in Shopee

I rarely order from third party sellers on Shopee, Lazada, or Amazon.

I'm sure there are some good deals / reputable products, but I don't have the time or patience to deal with products not arriving or being sent a pile of crap. All things considered (mainly the potential hassle), it's just not worth trying to save nickels and dimes.
