The Singapore Police released a news release saying that a couple in Singapore was arrested for their suspected involvement in a series of cheating cases.
The man is aged 28 and the woman is aged 26.
Recently, there has been an increase in the spate of scams involving delivery personnel of parcel and food delivery companies.
The scammers would pretend to be customers.
The victims would receive a Cash-On-Delivery order through their company’s delivery app.
The scammers, under the pretext of making payment for the delivery, would allegedly ask for the victims’ contact number through the delivery app, claiming to use the contact number to transfer the COD money to the victim.
The victims would then receive a text from the scammer, requesting an acknowledgement, after which monetary deductions would be made from the victim’s bank account.
The scammer would then become MIA and unreachable.
Officers from Ang Mo Kio Police Division and Woodlands Police Division established the identities of the couple through investigations and they were subsequently arrested on 16 April.
The man is currently still assisting with investigations while the woman (who is allegedly involved in other cheating cases) was charged in court earlier today (17 April).
