A 41-year-old man will be charged in court on Saturday (July 18) for cheating.<\/p>\n
He had allegedly cheated a victim of more than $86,000 by pretending to be affiliated with a renovation company, the police stated in a statement on Friday night.<\/p>\n
Police said they received a report on July 3 in which the victim alleged that a man had failed to carry out renovation works after receiving payment.<\/p>\n
The victim subsequently discovered that the man was not a staff of the renovation company he claimed to be from after realising that works were not completed.<\/p>\n
Officers from Bedok Police Division established the identity of the 41-year-old through ground enquiries and arrested him.<\/p>\n
He is believed to be involved in other cheating cases involving a similar modus operandi.<\/p>\n
If found guilty of the said offence, the man could be jailed for up to 10 years and fined.<\/p>\n
The police also advised members of the public to exercise due diligence when engaging renovation companies or contractors.<\/p>\n
“Always verify the credentials of the company and its representatives and avoid making large payments before work commences,” the police said.<\/p>\n
