Ong Wei Chyuan, 29, on Monday pleaded guilty to an offence of carrying on a business of providing payment services without a licence and was jailed seven weeks and fined $645.
Ong helped Ah Kang with the calculations for each payment and earned a commission each time he helped with the transactions. On May 15, the police froze and seized Ong's Singapore bank accounts, prompting him to ask Ah Kang again about who had been transferring money into his account.Ong has since spent all the money he earned, said DPP Chin, adding that Ong did not have a licence to carry on a business of providing payment services.
DPP Chin said the amount involved was significant and posed difficulties for law enforcement as it was transferred overseas.In a statement regarding Ong's case, the police cautioned the public that scammers are recruiting people to transfer stolen money on their behalf.
