Singapore police have warned of a gift-card scam targeting [Lalamove](https://giftcard.news/company/lalamove/) delivery riders, reporting at least 13 cases and losses of at least S$2,000 since September. The October 6 advisory describes fraudulent purchase-and-delivery orders used to obtain [Roblox](https://giftcard.news/company/roblox/) gift-card redemption codes. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1)

According to the [Singapore Police Force](https://giftcard.news/organization/singapore-police-force/), offenders place orders through Lalamove’s Buy For Me service and ask the rider to purchase the cards at a convenience store. They then claim that sending the codes will finish the job without a trip to the delivery address. Once the codes are redeemed, the customer disappears or cancels, leaving the rider with the purchase cost. [\[S01\]](#article-source-1)

## The code transfers the value

The weak point in the described sequence is the substitution of a redemption code for a physical delivery. A card can remain in the rider’s possession after its usable value has already been spent. Checking that the plastic card is still present therefore does not establish that the prepaid balance remains available.

The purchase stage has its own conditions. Lalamove's Singapore page, checked on October 18, requires the customer to pay for purchases in advance and gives maximum goods values of S$75 for motorcycle orders and S$150 for car orders. Those current terms explain the permitted purchase
