This deal is only open to Singapore residents as per their T's & C's, but I thought I'd try it anyway to see what happens. It worked perfectly for me, I applied the two months free Netflix to my Australian Netflix account without a problem (because of SGD>AUD exchange rate, you'll get approximately $27.96AUD credited to your Netflix account)

NOTE: You will require a valid credit card for this deal, and it WILL be billed after two months unless you cancel on their website prior to two months elapsing. They may do a $1 authorisation on your card to prove it's real. This amount gets refunded to your account within a few days by your bank.

Mod: The instructions to obtain the deal have been removed and the deal marked as expired due to a takedown request from LiveUp.

Or… wait two months, your credit card will be billed $28, then you'll get an extra four months Netflix.

          Fraud denotes being illegal

          fraud : A false representation of a matter of fact—whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosed—that deceives and is intended to deceive another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his legal injury.

          @SavageCarrot: The definition you quoted from your link is for 'fraudulent adjective (CRIME)'. That same link also has 'fraudulent adjective (FALSE)'

          fraudulent adjective (FALSE)
          intended to deceive:
          They claim that the fall in unemployment is based on a fraudulent manipulation of statistics.

          That seems more apt here.

          In addition:

          Fraud denotes being illegal

          If I was to call someone a fraud, does that mean I'm calling them an illegal?
          (in short, fraud does not always denote being illegal)

          But there is an important distinction between breaking a contract, and breaking the law.

        I am seeing a lot of discussion based on the integrity of this post and the method used vs the actual deal itself. Admins will deem if this deal is shady and should be removed or whether it's legitimate and should stay, stop flaming.

        Let's be real, do I use the AU steam store to purchase my games, which charges me in USD? No, I use the eu and other region stores because I can get the same game for a lesser price, and the company is already making millions from everyone's in game spending. So either use the deal or go away, but don't bitch about integrity because we are all here looking for the cheapest price possible for some good quality products. Whoever is so big on integrity and making the "moral choice" go pay RRP on everything and support our brick and mortar stores. Sheesh.

      • HighAndDry on 05/06/2017 - 10:04

        I'm going to have to disagree. This isn't fraud - unless the sign-up process requires you to give your address (and you give a false Singaporean address), the mere fact that you're signing up to a deal which is advertised to Singaporeans is not itself fraud. The fact that they make it available to non-Singaporeans is an oversight on their part (or not, it could well be deliberate if their market analytics tell them that having others take advantage might be a net benefit from an exposure>cost perspective).

          @GregFiona: do you know how many services I've signed up for over the last 20 years that have been for US residents only and used the postcode 90210? how is that fraud? what about all the times someone has just made up a phone number in a sign up form, but that accidently might belong to someone….. is that abuse?

          Every xbox thread on the internet has people changing their console region to US or UK to obtain cheaper games and cheaper Xbox Live, is that fraud?

          just because a private company lists something in their terms and conditions, if you do something outside of that, all they can do is terminate your account with them. They cant have you locked up because it's not fraud and it's not illegal.

          EFF filed an amicus brief in this case, urging the court to reject Facebook's computer crime claims. We argued that turning any violation of terms of use into a crime would give websites unfettered power to decide what conduct is criminal, leaving millions of Internet users vulnerable to prosecution for everyday activities. The court agreed with our position, relying heavily on our brief.

          @wingwang: The issue is not about it being a crime, but submitting a form agreeing to a company's T&Cs in clear violation of them (i.e. fraudulent). Fraudulent != deal; this should probably be moved to the forums.

          @wingwang:

          You are missing the point.

          Giving a fake phone number and address is representing that you live in Singapore, and thus you gain a financial advantage. It is material, or causative to the financial gain. In other words, if you were not dishonest about where you lived, you would not gain this benefit. It doesn't matter if a company set the rules. eg. If I am a business that wants to give 20% off to an employee of a company, and you represent that you are an employee of that company by providing a fake pay slip or something. It is fraud. You might have only benefitted $2 from a $10 purchase.

          Your 90210 example might not be serious fraud, or it might be 'obtaining financial advantage by deception' (or its equivalents in Australian states) but generally speaking it is. You might not be prosecuted. It might be impossible or completely impractical to prosecute you. It might be harmless. That is all acceptable but that is different from saying it's not fraud.

      Yeah, sure, but who cares?
      I couldn't care less about breaching their contract - what are they going to do - sue me on the contract? I don't think so.

      In this case Singapore law applies in relation to the contract.

      GENERAL CONDITIONS
      3. These T&Cs shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Singapore and all Members hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Singapore, to the exclusion of all other courts.

      Given that Singapore and everyone in it is collectively batshit boring i'm not too worried about them drumming up the creativity to come after me.

      Re 'fraud' - there's the legal definition, and the dictionary definition.
      I only care about the legal definition, as that's the only one that will get me locked up.

      For those interested in Oz law, you'll find the NSW definitions for fraud offences in Part 4AA Crimes Act 1900 (NSW). Vic has similar provisions and i couldn't be fagged finding out what the other States do.

      I don't expect to get any knock on the door by some Singaporean with handcuffs telling me i've been naughty … i'll just tell them that they're out of their jurisdiction.

      Even if there's a technical crime committed here, the local piggies won't give a toss - there a bigger fish to fry than some OB nerd getting some free Netflix.

      Gee i love ripping into Singapore.

    Is this legal?

    • GregFiona on 04/06/2017 - 20:46

      Good question :)

      Absolutely not. More than likely the Singaporean government will demand the extradition of every ozbargainer that does this

      People getting confused whether it's fraud or illegal, and it is not. It is simply a loop hole in their system. Blame their software developer for not implementing a better check for determining whether a person resides in their country or not. Sure it violates their T&C, but definitely in no case fraudulent or illegal. More of a loop hole
      Just my 2c from a software/network devloper myself :)

        It is fraud (and fraud is illegal so no need to differentiate the two).

        You can take advantage of the medicare system you know, through a loop hole. Maybe I should post this in a separate deal. If you give a fake receipt to medicare for medical services (and it can be done, and it is done), medicare will pay into your bank account a rebate, real cash money. It's not a 'loophole' because some half bit 'software/network developer' can't implement a better check for medicare. It's fraud, regardless if there is an expert system of detection of the dishonesty or not.

        I upvoted the deal. This is harmless, a lot less serious and nothing will happen. But your comment, and its logic is ass.
