SINGAPORE: A 23-year-old man was arrested after being suspected of being involved in a series of cheating cases, police said on Saturday (December 5).
A representative of an online delivery platform filed a police report on November 16 alleging that the suspect posed as a representative of two different corporate companies on two separate occasions, police said in the press release.
The suspect placed 884 fraudulent orders for more than S $ 172,000 from the online delivery platform between January and August, but did not make any payments for the delivered orders.
Police also received another report on November 30 that alleged the suspect tricked a victim on an e-commerce platform into sending him $ 3,000 worth of luxury clothing without payment.
The 23-year-old was arrested on Friday, police said, adding that luxury goods and clothing of more than S $ 8,000 were recovered from the suspect’s possessions. Criminal proceeds of approximately S $ 2,500 were also seized from the suspect’s bank account.
The man will be charged in court on Saturday for cheating, which carries a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine.
