After some research, the address was believe to be his house address.
The victim was a Malaysian female, 25, Yvonne Tan. She wrote:
“He claims to be a famous Singaporean Artist who has singed up over 2600 models. He uses all sorts of tactics to try and scam people’s money. He starts off by asking you to fill out a survey, I was a bit naiive and ended up being cheated out of my money. Please be careful of this crazy guy who hangs out at Orchard Road.
“When I wanted to leave, he shouted out at me!
“Please share this so that everyone can be aware and not be scammed by this crazy guy.
“I have made a police report already. This is the first time that I have ever made a police report in Singapore. Apparently, some of the Police know him. When they heared his name, Steven Lim, some of them started laughing and shaking their heads. Obviously I am not the first person to have been cheated of money as the Police even know who he is! “
“If he was a legitimate businessman, he wouldn’t need to lurk around in shopping centres waiting for innocent girls to walk by. When he saw me, he shouted out at me very loudly in public saying “It is you! I have chosen you! I am superstar Steven Lim.”
“You shouldnt be forcing people to sign a contract with you if you were a legitimate businessman. In the end, I had to pay him money in order to get him to leave me alone. I kept trying to leave and rejected him but he wouldn’t let me leave.
“He kept on embarassing me in public by singing and dancing around me and chanting that he had given me a chance, he kept saying “I am Steven Lim, and I have chosen you”. He also said things like “chances like this don’t come around often”. He also wouldn;t let me to call my friend for help on the phone and he pretty much forced me to sign the contract without giving me any chance to consider it.
“He kept asking me for $300 and said that he will accompany me to an ATM so that I can pay him.
“He kept showing me his income tax statement and saying that he is a high income earner. He also showed me a bunch of messy contract which didnt even make sense. Then, he showed me a video of him in a movie ‘kara king’ and saying how he acted in the movie to try and show that he was a “superstar”.
“He brought up an agreement on his iPad and said that I needed to sign it. It was some eyebrowser trading & marketing agreement. When I told him I didn’t want to sign, he said I had to.
“I told him please don’ put my photos online as he had already taken some photos of me during our encounter. Despite this, he still put my photos online and claimed that he had helped make over 2700 models famous.
“He said that he had nurtured many of the current MediaCorp actors.
“Trying to convince me, he said things like “If I am lying, let my whole family fall ill and die in a car accident.”
“Then, after I exposed him online, these past few days, he has threatened me and demanded that I make a public apology for calling him a scammer.
“I am not going to do such a thing. I shouldn’t have even given this crazy guy $300.
“He does his “business” in such public places and openly scams young girls. I hope that you can all be aware of him and his tactics so that you dont fall victim too.”
However, Steven Lim seem to be a official Mediacorp partners for talents engagement.

“Dearest Editor, please kind refer your recent article about me and the official letter from the police after they asked me down to central police for questioning about some police reports and questions from the public.”

Please kind remove your post because it has caused me a lot of huge inconvenience and misunderstanding with your article to me and my agency.”

Dear Yvonne, Steven Lim did sign a contract with MediaCorp as a talent scout but it’s stated in the contract that HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO USE MEDIACORP’S NAME TO CHARGE BIG SUM OF MONEY WHEN RECRUITING TALENTS, certainly NOT $300. He is only allowed to collect small admin fees like $50 or below. If he break the rules, MediaCorp will take action against him and cancel the contract. That means he cannot be a talent scout anymore. So all you need to do is complain to MediaCorp directly to get back your money: http://www.mediacorp.sg/corporate-en/contactus
You all girls are really wanted to be fame till mad! Pay 300 to have a chance to be fame? If you are good, you will be automatically be selected even you are inside the toilet. Why must pay? If you are talented, the World are dying to sign you up and pay you. Please don’t be a Fool next time! If Hong Kong Andy Lau wanted to sign you up than you sure fame overnight.
This guy stopped me today as well along isetan and asked for $300 to made me famous. He says he is a superstar and I’m like ‘ really? Then why are you doing this ?!’ I told him that I am not interested to be famous but he kept going and so I just thank him and walked off. Very weird experience.
So I just had the “pleasure” of meeting this alleged superstar of Singapore yesterday. I had no idea who he was and he stopped me as I was trying to avoid the rain and make a dash to the MRT station. He seemed shocked that as a Singaporean, I didn’t have a clue on who he is and his suppsed celebrity status. Then he asked me for $300 to teach me how to sing and dance and join his company. Oh yeah and apparently since he has a mole on his face like me, he kept using that as a basis on why I should join him. I think he should be a comedian. And no, I didn’t pay him any money. Not gonna happen. I don’t care about singing and dancing lol
Why pay him. And you shouldn’t show your postal code.. very dangerous.
He did oso approached n stop me today @ amk while i was on my way to Jubilee Shopping mall.. He oso told me abt making me famous.. but he didnt bring up any signing of contract.. but i kept rejecting him. Btw anyway i m a guy.
I got stopped by him once outside paragon… he asked me for $300 which is the admin fee to fame. He even wanted to bring me to the atm for immediate bank transfer which i rejected. Had seen him lurking ard orchard rd a few time. Ladies, please be aware.
