SINGAPORE – A 28-year-old Malaysian man and a 51-year-old Singaporean woman are expected to be charged on May 9 over the alleged fraudulent registration of SIM cards.
In a statement on May 8, the police said the case came after an enforcement operation against errant retailers conducted by officers from the Anti-Scam Command on May 7.
The registered post-paid SIM cards were later allegedly used by overseas syndicates in scams.
Another four men and four women, aged between 17 and 61, are assisting in investigations, the police added.
Preliminary investigations showed that the man had allegedly used the information of actual customers to pre-register for additional post-paid SIM cards, while the woman had allegedly supplied SIM cards registered using another person’s information to others.
