"WeChat is a Cheat!" How Singapore People Felt Cheated by WeChat

Many people in Singapore felt cheated by WeChat.

 First, many of them went to free talks or short training conducted by many WeChat 'Gurus'.  Inside the talk, they were told that they must set up a WeChat Official Account if they want to get and conduct business on WeChat.  Many of them paid S$3,500 to S$9,000 to create an impressive WeChat Official Account and were promised lots of business from there. 

 But because they do very little or just initial promotion of that Official Account, plus they have no new contents on their impressive Official Accounts, very few people follow their Official Accounts. As a result, they got very little business from their Official Accounts.  Many cannot even recover just 10% of their investment in creating their Official Accounts!

 There are some WeChat Trainers that conduct FREE WeChat Short Training or Preview and then ask people to sign up for their 1-day or 2-days SkillsFuture funded WeChat class that costs $500 to $750 to learn how to create an official account.  After the class, many still are not able to create their own official accounts as they lack the stamina and skills in website content creation.  Only a handful few managed to create their own official accounts after the class. But these people also do very little promotion of their official accounts.  As a result, they felt that they have wasted their money and time in learning how to create WeChat Official account.

 Third, there are people that were told that to get business from WeChat, you just need to join many WeChat Group chats and promote your business to the group chat members there. They didn't realise that this is breaking the law of WeChat Group chat and their accounts soon get suspended and they cannot use WeChat at all for a while.

 The above are the 3 most common cheating experiences of people in Singapore.  How about you?  How many times were you cheated by WeChat?  Written by Andy Ng, WeChat Trainer Coach. Share with me your comments below. Other articles (click on their titles to read them):

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
