Serial con woman admits cheating 10 people, including boyfriend’s parents, of over $880k

SINGAPORE – Over six years, a serial con woman cheated 10 people – including her husband’s former colleague and men she deceived in love scams – of more than $880,000 in total.

The scammer, who was then a mother of two, and Lai first met in July 2016 when he delivered a parcel to her home. They became a couple the following month. On Oct 1, 2017, Kwek instigated Lai to cheat his father in a purported investment opportunity with a bank that would supposedly allow the elderly man to earn 21 per cent interest on the principal amount.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Phoebe Tan said: “To keep up the charade, the accused sent various photos to the victim, claiming that those were images of her. The victim did a reverse Google search on the images and found out that they were pictures of a Korean blogger.
