SINGAPORE – A recalcitrant offender who repeatedly conned victims with a fake Rolex listing on Carousell has been jailed once again.
On May 12, Foo Siang Wee, 34, was sentenced to 18 months and 49 days’ jail after pleading guilty to three charges of cheating, criminal breach of trust and selling his Singpass account.
Two additional charges of cheating and giving an unknown person access to his bank account were taken into consideration during sentencing.
The court heard that Foo used the same ploy in 2021 to cheat would-be watch buyers on Carousell.
In February 2025, victims came across his listing for a Rolex Submariner “Half Gold” watch for $10,000.
Foo successfully manipulated two of them into handing over $4,000 and $8,000, respectively, by inventing excuses, such as claiming his wife needed to see the cash before he could hand over the watch.
