SINGAPORE: A total of 19 people were arrested for their suspected involvement in Ponzi-like job scams, after some victims were told to pay membership fees for online jobs.

The 19 people were believed to have facilitated the schemes by opening corporate and personal bank accounts, advertising and recruiting potential part-time job seekers, as well as fraudulently registering and supplying mobile phone lines. After signing up for the free membership, they were offered different member packages, ranging from S$10 to a few thousand dollars, with varying amounts of commission paid per task.

The victims realised that they were scammed when they did not receive further commissions or were unable to make withdrawals from their member accounts.The police cautioned job seekers to"be wary of job advertisements that promise the convenience of working from home and being paid a high salary for relatively simple job responsibilities".
