Dec 8): The police in Singapore have identified nearly 400 suspects for alleged involvement in scams and money muling, as authorities in the Asian financial hub double down on checking frauds targeting common citizens.
The suspects are now assisting in investigations following their involvement in more than 1,200 cases, including those spanning investments, e-commerce, loans, jobs and internet love scams, where victims reportedly lost over S$10 million (US$7.5 million or RM34.90 million), according to a statement from the Singapore Police Force.
“The suspects are being investigated for the alleged offences of cheating, money laundering or providing payment services without a licence,” the police said. The offence of cheating carries an imprisonment term of as many as 10 years and a fine.

Singapore has cracked down on money-laundering operations, including by seizing more than S$2.8 billion worth of assets in the city state’s largest-ever money-laundering investigation.

That case, which has seen police carry out raids in some of the wealthiest neighbourhoods, has sent shock waves through a usually orderly nation, and raised new questions about Singapore’s decades-long efforts to attract uber-rich foreigners.

I just did it for the money’: Why young people become money mules for scammers​

Between 2020 and 2022, more than 19,000 suspected money mules were investigated by the police. Many were individuals younger than 29.​



SINGAPORE – Zack (not his real name) was a 17-year-old student in 2021 receiving $10 a day from his mother when he came across an advertisement in a Telegram group chat that promised payment for opening bank accounts.

He contacted the person who posted the ad. Communicating via text messages on Telegram, the man, who identified himself only as J, said the bank accounts would be used for investments.

Zack did not ask too many questions. He was promised $800 for each bank account he opened.

Cannot say like tat...Mata are very bust with dealing other security threats as well.
They were silent when 1mdb billions were being siphoned until new York Justice Department took action.

They also need to monitor Cik Syed and kahwan

Just like drugs, they can only catch the mules while the masterminds live above the law in luxury.

In time, these masterminds will, just as those drug Lords did, send a few black sheep as scapegoats for the clueless authorities to catch and process on a regular basis.

After all, it'll make the police look good in the eyes of the public and the politicians, just as it did for the corrupt CNB.
