Man gets jail for printing fake notes to pay social escort for sexual services

Feroz Akthar Hussain’s crime was later uncovered when the social escort he hired tried to pay for her laundry bills using the “cash” he gave her, and he then fled Singapore in the engine compartment of a bus to avoid prosecution.On Friday , the 41-year-old Singaporean was sentenced to three years and six weeks’ jail after he pleaded guilty to a charge each of using counterfeit currency and of failing to produce his passport to an immigration officer.

So he decided to photocopy a genuine S$50 note and printed it with an inkjet printer, which allowed him to create four copies of the counterfeit notes.Using these fake notes, Feroz was able to offset the cost of one hour of sexual services with the social escort at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront hotel along Havelock Road, which cost him a total of S$350.

This happened while he was out on bail. The prosecution did not specify what exactly Feroz was being prosecuted for at the time. However, he returned to the same checkpoint on Jan 5 at around 1.35pm without his Singapore passport. It is not known why he returned to Singapore. “This is your first crime, and this is your last crime, did you say that?” the judge asked and Feroz acknowledged that.
