SINGAPORE - A serial scammer who was released from prison in October 2020 returned to a life of crime soon after and cheated multiple victims of $87,700 in total.
In sentencing her, District Judge Marvin Bay said that rental flats are made available to people of limited financial means at subsidised rates and are not meant to be used as a means to derive additional income. She was placed on a remission order after her release in October 2020, but went on to cheat more victims soon after.The DPP said: “The accused deceived the victims into believing the unit was available for rent went it was actually not, thereby inducing to deliver to her various sums of money as deposits and/or advance rent.”
