SINGAPORE: Two Malaysian men will be charged over their suspected involvement in a government official impersonation scam in which a woman was duped of 8.6kg of gold, Singapore police said on Saturday (Mar 21).
The suspects, aged 30 and 20, will be charged in court over the next two days, with police saying eight Malaysians have been arrested for similar cases this month alone.
The current case came to light on Friday when the police received a report from a 62-year-old woman who had received calls from unknown individuals claiming to be from telco M1 and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
The victim was allegedly informed that she had an outstanding bill of S$350 (US$195), which could not be deducted from her bank account. She was later told that some Apple products were also bought using her accounts, and delivered to an address in Bukit Batok.
