SINGAPORE: Singapore telecoms service provider Circles.Life has claimed responsibility for the #3DollarBaller cash vending machine stunt on Wednesday (Feb 28), which was cut short for security reasons.
Hundreds turned up in the hopes of getting free money, with successful members of the public paying S$3 into a box at Raffles Place to get S$50 in return.
The event was cut short after an hour and the crowd was told to disperse, with the organiser claiming that she was told to stop by the police.
The stunt appeared to be a promotion for the mobile virtual network operator’s new S$3 a day unlimited data plan, with the plan being promoted with the #3DollarBaller hashtag previously used to promote the vending machine stunt.

A second event that day at 313@Somerset did not materialise either, with the telco saying that all the S$50 notes had been redeemed.
Circles.Life on Thursday announced the new daily unlimited mobile data plan and an add-on service to use WhatsApp in 18 countries.
