Kevin thought he had found someone he could trust.
They met through a property-investing community. The other man spoke about family, long-term relationships and business. The first payments arrived without Kevin even needing to chase. Over time, that trust grew into multiple deals… and eventually into borrowed money.
Then the rhythm changed.
Payments needed reminders. A few days became longer delays. Excuses piled up. Kevin says the stress started showing at work and even clients could tell something was weighing on him. By then, this was no longer only an investment problem.
His turning point was deciding to stop waiting quietly. Kevin documented what had happened, spoke publicly and engaged debt collectors. He recovered S$100,000, but the episode is less about getting money back than understanding how trust can blur risk.
Today, he is sharing the mistakes publicly through Quest with Kev so other people can examine opportunities with less emotion than he did.
Watch the full conversation now.
