SINGAPORE - Jover Chew, 33, pleaded guilty to 12 charges in court on Monday (Nov 16) and will be sentenced on Nov 30.
Bail was extended to the former owner of a Sim Lim Square mobile phone shop that became infamous for cheating foreigners, Channel NewsAsia reported.
Chew had faced 26 charges of cheating, one charge of criminal intimidation and one charge of insulting behaviour, CNA said.
The Straits Times reported that the other 16 charges will be taken into consideration when sentencing.
Chew was arrested in May over cheating cases at Sim Lim Square.
Last November, he earned the ire of Singaporeans when one of his victims, a Vietnamese tourist, kneeled and beg for a refund tearfully at his shop.
Last month, four salesmen from his shop were jailed for conspiring to cheat customers.
