Singapore police said 295 individuals — comprising 191 men and 104 women aged between 15 and 76 — are suspected of involvement in more than 750 scam cases. The suspects are believed to have acted either as scammers or money mules in schemes involving e-commerce scams, friend impersonation scams, job scams, government official impersonation scams, investment scams and rental scams.
Under Singapore law, those convicted of cheating or money laundering could face up to 10 years in prison, fines, or both. Authorities added that those implicated in mule-related offences could also face restrictions on banking facilities and mobile phone subscriptions aimed at preventing further scam activities.
