SINGAPORE – A 27-year-old Malaysian man is slated to be charged on May 30 for his suspected involvement in a government official impersonation scam, after he allegedly helped scam syndicates collect cash and valuables from victims here.
The police on May 29 said that they received a report the previous day from a victim who answered a call about a television purchase from an unknown person claiming to be from Harvey Norman Singapore.
When the victim denied making such a purchase, her call was transferred to another scammer posing as an official from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
The fake official told the victim that she had been involved in money-laundering activities.
He pretended to assist with investigations and then instructed the victim to meet a man near Anchorvale Crescent and hand over all her jewellery.
