Former beauty salon manager jailed for cheating women into paying S$632,000 for fake packages

SINGAPORE: Over three years, a woman who worked at two beauty salons tricked 24 customers into paying about S$632,000 for non-existent packages for skin and body treatments.

She pitched the packages as ones that required customers to use the company's products and receive facial treatments on a regular basis, and to be photographed by the firm to document their improvements. She also received commissions for each package she sold to customers. However, Ong continued to cheat customers using the"model package" ruse.

Both Bottom Slim and Asian Skin Solution caught on to Ong's ruse and took measures to mitigate their customers' losses. They are in the process of arranging to provide them with treatments and products to compensate them, and have reimbursed some of the money, said the prosecutor. After signing up for the fake packages, they were promised regular payouts including benefits such as free flight tickets, hotel stays and travel allowances.

She rose to the position of manager at Asian Skin Solution after"hard work" as a beautician at Bottom Slim, which was operated by the same owner, said Mr Fong.
