Safety and scams to avoid

• Inflated property "investment tour" pressure in BSD City

  BSD City show units, The Breeze, and ICE BSD Convention Centre

  Well-dressed "lifestyle consultants" approach visitors at BSD malls and offer free lunch or gifts in exchange for attending a 30-minute property investment briefing that turns into a 3-hour high-pressure sales session for unbuilt residential units.

  How to avoid it: Politely decline any offer of free meals or vouchers tied to attending a briefing. Legitimate property developers do not recruit buyers in malls. If already inside, you are legally entitled to leave at any time — do not sign any documents on the day.
