A serial scammer, who was earlier given five months’ jail, is back behind bars after he reoffended and cheated two people of more than $1.5 million. Chen Young Ja also abused his then girlfriend’s trust and helped himself to nearly $355,000 of her money, using methods...

Chen got to know one of his victims, Ms Xu Zhilian, 60, through his mother.

The DPP told the court: “This was false, as the accused did not sell any house, had no commission and did not have $5 million held by IPTO.” The two men met for lunch about a week later and Chen told another lie, claiming that he was involved in a real estate investment, and Mr Stefan could invest money to purportedly refinance construction works.

He made a police report, and Chen made partial restitution of $13,000 to him some time in or around 2017.
