SINGAPORE – The police are investigating 363 suspected scammers or money mules following a two-week operation.
These scams include job scams, loan scams, e-commerce scams, Internet love scams, government official impersonation scams and investment scams. Cheating carries a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine, while money laundering carries a jail term of up to 10 years, a fine of up to $500,000, or both. After completing the surveys, scammers would ask victims to scan a Singpass QR code sent via messaging apps such as WhatsApp, claiming that it was part of the bank’s verification process to retrieve their survey results and enable payment for the completed surveys.
