The Case of Divine Era Singapore - Exposing a Scammer

This blog is basically a summary of our own personal investigation into a well-known seller and shop known as Divine Era, operated by Mr Clay Tan Haw Ming.

Lets take a deep dive into how this dishonest seller have cheated hundreds of unsuspecting customers, with undeniable evidence.

Summary

Being in this Spiritual Trade for over 10 years, we have seen plenty of sellers come and go. Being a rather competitive niche with plenty of sellers advertising somewhat similar products and services, we rarely take notice of them as we mainly focus on our own business.

Recently, we have been getting feedbacks from customers that one particular seller by the name "Divine Era" have been on a smear campaign against us and other sellers. When mutual customers visit his shop, he would often try to bad-mouth our services in order to persuade the customer to engage from him instead. However, we choose to ignore because we do not take any action based on words of mouth without evidence.

We have also received plenty of feedback from many of their customers that the owner/seller Mr Tan Haw Ming Clay is very unethical and dishonest, and that his ritual services do not yield any results. Some customers even claim that he went MIA after making payment and blocked them on social media. However, we decided to ignore as it has nothing to do with us and it is not our job to help resolve disputes with other sellers. 

 

Only up to recently, we started noticing that his defamatory attacks towards us are getting more "direct". We have no idea why this seller is doing it because we have never engaged with him.

In the example below is a Facebook Ads that we happen to come across from Divine Era Facebook page, shows tons of self-fabricated text Testimonials that he used a different phone to text himself with. One particular testimonial which he fabricated, is an insinuated defamatory attack towards us.



In the fabricated Testimonial above, you can see that he texted himself, complaining about (our) services in which he replied to himself "Element Mustika". This is one of his "indirect" attempts to smear our reputation and we know it.

FAKE TESTIMONIALS SCREENSHOT

Aside from his very obviously fabricated testimonials because they all share almost identical style of texting, the biggest give away is non of his "testimonials" ever showed any proof of rituals being performed or sent to his customers.

 

For example, take a look below, This is one of our many testimonials that we get from our customer. In the conversation box, you can see that we have sent videos/photos of the ritual prior to the client giving their feedback. This is to show that they are real people who have engaged our service.

Take a look at Divine Era's Example below, you can clearly see the difference and it is a obvious fake.

While fabricating your own testimonials is a very cheap and convenient way to boost your reputation, using it to tarnish another seller's reputation is unacceptable and we finally decided to investigate this seller and warn the community about his fraudulent and dishonest activities.

There will be more evidence below.

 

Fake Thai Masters / Fake Love Rituals'

 

From the start, we suspected this Seller's Carousell and Facebook advertisement under "DivineEra" was a scam. Aside from numerous negative complaints that we receive from their customers, we also noticed that the Thai Ajarns/Masters they advertised for love and luck rituals were actually not real masters and are simply WeChat charlatans, unknown in the amulet community. In Thailand, it's common for scammers to dress up as Ajarns and perform fake rituals, advertised on WeChat to deceive people.

Many sellers, like DivineEra, with no real experience in the amulet trade, partner with these scammers to resell their fake services. These WeChat rituals typically cost 1000-2000 baht ($40-$80), with the fake master sending a video of the "ritual" to the seller or client. They price them cheaply because the main scam involves repeatedly asking for more payments after the initial engagement.

DivineEra, for example, promotes these rituals for $480 to thousands of dollars to make a profit. Genuine Thai Ajarns charge around $500-$600 SGD for a ritual, with sellers like ourselves adding a small "broker fee" as a middleman service, considering our job is merely to help facilitate the ritual. Otherwise, clients are free to travel to Thailand and visit our Ajarns directly if they are willing to pay for the expenses as the masters we work with are well known and reputable with their own Samnak/Temple

Divine Era not only marks up prices excessively but also uses scare tactics to pressure clients into making repeated payments when the ritual doesn't work. How can you expect results from a ritual performed by a charlatan instead of a real expert?

100% EXPOSING DIVINE ERA (TAN HAW MING,CLAY) AS FRAUD / SCAMMER

Divine Era Clay Tan Ming Haw challenged us to do "Black Magic" on him on a video he made on facebook, also claiming that nothing will happen to him. No no no.. we do not believe in Black Magics, but we believe in justice and we have something better up our sleeves for him.

In order to fully expose this Fraud, we decided to bait him and he fell for it, 100% proving that he is nothing more than a scammer. The evidence presented below is absolutely undeniable and leaves no room for doubt.

We got a customer to help us by contacting (DivineEra) on carousell to inquire about his Love Ritual Service.

The owner, Tan Ming Haw Clay replied and requested for photograph of our customer, along with name and DOB in order for him to use his super Ajarn Power to Analyze / Perform a Reading first before giving further advice.

After our customer sent him the photo and details, he immediately claim that our customer's luck is bad, have yin karmic debt, bad karma, money jam, relationship bad etc etc.

 

When our customer asked how did he knew and is he an Ajarn? He said yes

The then proceeded to immediately recommend to perform rituals that cost $480 to clear his bad karma, and love ritual that cost $680.

Divine Era claim that if he does not perform the $480 bad luck clearing ritual, love ritual would not work. This is an obvious ploy to get the customer to make additional payment, a classic hard-sell tactic using scare tactic to cheat the desperate and gullible.

However there is a problem..

The Photograph that our customer sent, is a person that does not exist. The photos are AI Generated, and The name and DOB are fake. LMAO!!!! EXPOSED

This was our biggest "GOT YA" moment in exposing this clown fraud. The fact that this person analyzed someone who doesn’t even exist, using fake details with an AI generated selfie, proves he is a scammer employing scare tactics to cheat customers.

This shows that the owner of Divine Era, Clay Tan Haw Ming, is dishonest and malicious, preying on the desperate and gullible. He tries to scare customers into believing their luck and relationships are doomed unless they perform his rituals—a classic scam tactic used by many spiritual fraudsters.

Instead of being honest about not being an Ajarn and asking the customer about their actual problems to recommend appropriate solutions, he fabricated an issue and pushed for a ritual for a non-existent person.

A genuine Ajarn or Master would have immediately known the person in the photo was fake, as there would be nothing to analyze..

100% EXPOSED. Lets move on..

Multiple Fake Accounts Advertising Same/Similar Services on Carousell

 

As mentioned in our previous blog, scammers like Divine Era usually have multiple accounts as they usually always get reported and banned. Divine Era is notorious for getting banned/restricted on Carousell, hence the reason why he uses various accounts under different names to avoid detected and to cheat customers.

Some of his Carousell Accounts are..
- DivineEra (Main Account) , relationshipsavior, thai_ritual, lovelia, masterbarang, lovecrusader. More will be updated soon

 

This scammer, also has multiple different Facebook Accounts and LinkedIn Accounts.

Look at how this scammer taunted us..

 

 

This Scammer Taunted Us, Challenged us, Made a Video about us on his Facebook Page Divine Era Singapore.

 

However, he also made a police report claiming that we threatened him when we didnt. We simply contacted him to resolve the issue regarding the screenshot.

 

He even made a video on Facebook, claiming we challenged him and that customers complained about us. He called us "losers" for not having a physical store like his.

Our official response is as follows:

First, none of our customers have ever complained to him. The testimonials he made were fake, just him texting himself. This guy is delusional and not in the right state of mind.

 

We did further digging and found that In the AmuletForums community, Tan Ming Haw is known for being obsessed with barangs and once went mentally unstable after a Phra Ngan backfire. His vivid imagination is no surprise and he is well known in the AmuletForum back in the days for selling fake AJ Sub and Phra Ngan Amulets, got banned and blacklisted.

We never threatened to mess up his shop. We only told him to keep it open when we come to serve him legal papers, as we are taking legal action against him. Many of his victims also plan to file police reports.

Calling us losers for not having a physical store is laughable. Our brand, Element Mustika, has thousands of reviews and has been around for years. Unlike Divine Era, we don’t need multiple fake accounts. We have a large online following and don’t need a physical store.

Scammers like Divine Era try to establish credibility with a physical store, but it’s just a trap to pressure and hard-sell customers face to face. In such settings, customers may not think rationally before engaging his services or buying his fake amulets.

Divine Era has only 90-100 followers. His Carousell account barely has 50 reviews, mostly as a buyer, and no legitimate seller reviews. There’s only one negative review of him as a seller, where he sold a fake luxury watch and cheated a buyer.

 

Many who have followed us for a long time know that we don't engage in online disputes with other sellers. We respect all sellers and choose to mind our own business. Many envious and jealous sellers who tried to pick fights with us in the past have failed miserably.

There's no need to tarnish another seller's reputation to elevate yours. Prove your worth by being a good seller, and the reviews will follow, demonstrating your legitimacy.

We don't need to convince or persuade our customers to buy our products or services. Most of them purchase because our reviews and testimonials speak for themselves. We rarely get inquiries beyond "How do I purchase? Can you deliver today?"

Unlike Divine Era, who resorts to defaming other sellers as a persuasion tactic, we believe in genuine service. Divine Era's approach is destined to fail in the long run because they'll eventually run out of bad things to say.
