SINGAPORE – Two Taiwanese men flew to Singapore with mobile phones they received from a syndicate, as part of a ruse to buy luxury goods using other individuals’ credit card details stored on the devices
One of them, Jung Tz-Jiang, 24, attempted but failed to buy a Rolex Submariner watch worth $18,800 from a shop at Golden Landmark Shopping Complex in Victoria Street on Nov 6, 2025.
On Feb 27, he was sentenced to eight months’ jail after he pleaded guilty to one count of attempting to commit cheating. A second similar charge was considered during his sentencing.
The second man, Zhang Min-Xiu, 31, decided not to follow through with the ruse, and was arrested on Nov 7 that year at the airport.
Zhang was sentenced to six months’ jail on Feb 27 after admitting to being part of a criminal conspiracy by agreeing to commit cheating.
Court documents did not disclose how the unnamed individuals’ credit card details ended up in the mobile phones.
