SINGAPORE: A Malaysian man was charged in court on Tuesday (Nov 18) with overseeing the operations of a scam call centre in Cambodia that targeted victims in Singapore.
Bernard Goh Yie Shen, 24, was handed one count under the Organised Crime Act of engaging in conduct he knew would facilitate the commission of cheating in Singapore.
His alleged overseeing of the call centre in Phnom Penh furthered the illegal purpose of a locally-linked organised criminal group, or syndicate, the charge read.
Goh was deported from Cambodia and is believed to be a member of the syndicate, which allegedly perpetrated government official impersonation scams targeting Singapore victims.
