Scams exploiting infocomm tech on the rise in Singapore: Police
Scams exploiting infocomm tech on the rise in Singapore: Police
From January to April this year, authorities received at least 190 reports of internet love scams involving approximately S$7.5 million, almost matching the 198 cases involving S$8.8 million for the whole of 2014.

SINGAPORE: The 19-year-old man entered a 7-Eleven store along Yishun Avenue 5 around 2am, wanting to buy an iTunes gift card.
But when Rosida Arshad saw that he was already holding a gift card worth about S$100 in his hands, the quick-thinking sales assistant decided to caution him that the card was non-refundable and non-exchangeable.
She also showed him an information card given by the police that explained a common scam - an attractive lady on social networking app WeChat approaches and convinces victims to buy and transfer online credit from gift cards, for the promise of a date or sexual services which never materialise.
"Once he saw it, he said: 'I've been scammed'," said 47-year-old Madam Rosida.
FRAUDSTERS USING SOCIAL MEDIA TO PROFILE VICTIMS: POLICE
Police said that the number of such scams, which exploit infocomm technologies, has surged in Singapore since the start of the year and are involving increasingly large sums of money.
Police Superintendent Chew Jingwei, who heads the Commercial Affairs Department's Syndicated Fraud Branch, said fraudsters have been able to exploit the cloak of anonymity afforded by the internet and the increasing popularity of social media platforms in Singapore to reach across borders "within seconds".
"Today's internet users share quite a bit of their social lives and personal information on social media platforms, so it's easy for fraudsters in certain scams to target who exactly they want as victims by doing a bit of profiling on the internet," said Supt Chew. "For example in credit-for-sex scams, we see that the victims are all men who are looking for female friends on Chinese-based social media platforms."
While he said the police will continue to intensify public education efforts to increase awareness of such scams, they appear to face an uphill task.
Despite police community engagement efforts in the Yishun North neighbourhood since September 2015, Madam Rosida said more are falling victim to scams. She told Channel NewsAsia that what used to be a single customer demanding a refund for purchasing gift cards every two or three weeks has slowly grown to one or two customers every one or two weeks.
"I show them the poster and tell them ‘no refund or exchanges’. I ask them to read - I don't know whether they read it or not, but they just look at the poster and insist on buying," she said.
These customers often return after half an hour trying to insist on refunds or exchanges. When they are rejected, Madam Rosida often spots them pacing outside the shop and talking on the phone.
"Then I know that this guy has been scammed," she said.
Police said 200 cases of credit-for-sex scams have been reported from January to April this year, involving at least S$422,200 in total. These figures surpass the 66 cases involving S$118,000 reported for the whole of 2014.
In the same time period this year, authorities received at least 190 reports of internet love scams involving approximately S$7.5 million, almost matching the 198 cases involving S$8.8 million for the whole of 2014.
Most victims of such scams are women aged between 30 and 59, and holding professional jobs. They are approached on social media platforms such as Facebook, Meetup.com and Skout, and form relationships with online "lovers", who then feign financial difficulties and ask for money.
Internet love scams such as these cheated victims of the greatest amount of money in the first four months of this year out of the scams involving infocomm technologies, followed by scams involving fraudsters impersonating authorities from China or Singapore who tell victims that parcels containing illegal items have been shipped in their name.
Using convincing methods such as spoofed local phone numbers and addresses for the appearance of greater authenticity, the impersonators trick victims into transferring funds into foreign bank accounts or into disclosing personal information to "settle the case". To date, more than 50 such scams have been reported, involving around S$4 million.
Impersonation scams and internet love scams account for the top 10 largest single cheating cases in the first four months of the year, with an impersonation scam claiming the highest amount lost by a victim in a single case this year - S$2.3 million.

Woman Arrested For Masturbating With Jimmy Dean Sausage In Walmart Bathroom
Woman Arrested For Masturbating With Jimmy Dean Sausage In Walmart Bathroom
POSTED BY: NOW8NEWS OCTOBER 22, 2015
News 8 Louisiana – Police are calling this a crime of the unthinkable, something that most people would never imagine doing. On Monday, police were called to a Louisiana Walmart under the suspicion that a customer was shoplifting food. According to the complaint, a Walmart worker radioed security about a suspicious woman in the meat aisle. Security cameras filmed 33-year-old Shaniqua Johnson shoving sausages under her shirt. CCTV footage then shows the woman walking to the bathroom, where she remained for at least 30 minutes.
The male security guard says he knocked on the bathroom door several times but the woman did not respond. He then announced he was entering. What he found behind the door of the unlocked stall is something he said will “haunt his dreams forever.” The security guard reports when he entered the stall, Johnson was inappropriately pleasing herself with a Jimmy Dean package of sausage. He said that when he entered “She didn’t even stop. She just stared at me and kept going.”
Shocked, and also frightened for his safety due to the fact that Johnson is a “big girl,” the 140 pound security guard said he ran out until police arrived. When they did, female officers entered the restroom with Johnson still “putting in work with the sausage.” All in all, it took 7 police officers to restrain Johnson and pry the victimized sausage out of the woman’s hands. She was arrested and taken into custody where she was charged with shoplifting, indecent exposure, and resisting arrest. Walmart management said in no way do they tolerate this type of behavior. They have a strict policy against shoplifters and a sign on the bathroom door that clearly reads, “No merchandise allowed beyond this point.”

Interpol searching for Malaysian sex blogger Alvin Tan
Interpol searching for Malaysian sex blogger Alvin Tan
Interpol is reportedly searching for Malaysian sex blogger Alvin Tan to get him to return to the country and face trial in court. Tan is believed to have gone to Singapore in May to shoot a documentary.
SINGAPORE: Interpol is searching for sex blogger Alvin Tan to get him to return to the country and face trial in court, according to reports in the Malaysian media.
The Star quoted Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar as saying that his officers were liaising with Interpol to bring the Malaysian citizen back and get him to surrender his passport. The Malaysian Insider meanwhile reported that according to his lawyer, Tan, 25, and his partner Vivian Lee May Ling, 24, went to Singapore to shoot a documentary in May - but added that he was unsure if Tan is still in the Republic.
The couple is facing charges under the Sedition Act and the Film Censorship Act, relating to their action in posting an insensitive Ramadan greeting on their Facebook page and pornographic photographs in their blogs.
In the first charge, they were jointly accused of making a seditious posting on their Facebook page by uploading a photo of themselves eating bak kut teh (a Chinese herbal pork soup) with a caption "Selamat Berbuka Puasa" - a Malay greeting when breaking fast.
Lee and Tan, a former law student at the National University of Singapore, had sparked outrage in Malaysia and Singapore by posting erotic photographs and videos of their lovemaking as well as close-ups of their genitals on a blog.
Tan's mother, Madam All Kim Lian, as well as another bailor, Loo Ching Ching, on Saturday forfeited the RM20,000 (S$7,900) bail imposed by the Sessions Court on Tan when he did not return his passport for a third time.

Malaysian ‘sex blogger’ Alvin Tan claims he's seeking political asylum in US
Malaysian ‘sex blogger’ Alvin Tan claims he's seeking political asylum in US
Tan, who is wanted by the Malaysian authorities, says he has fled to the United States to seek political asylum. Tan and his partner Vivian Lee are facing charges under Malaysia's Sedition Act and Film Censorship Act.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian “sex blogger” Alvin Tan Jye Yee claims to have fled to the United States, where he intends to seek political asylum.
Tan, 26, and his partner, Vivian Lee May Ling, 25, are facing criminal charges under Malaysia's Sedition Act as well as the Film Censorship Act for their controversial online uploads, including a photo deemed insulting to Islam on Facebook as well as pornographic images on their blogs.
Tan - speaking to our correspondent via a personal Facebook account that Channel NewsAsia has verified belongs to the “sex blogger” - said on Wednesday (Sep 24): “I'm busy starting a new life here (in the US), apart from awaiting my final asylum hearing. I'm here to seek political refuge from the tyranny of UMNO - simple as that.”
Tan first applied for asylum-seeker status in May, after disappearing from the public eye following a documentary shoot in Singapore. He said he feels confident the US will grant him asylum - and if they do not, he claimed he will continue posting "seditious material" online to strengthen his case.
"The Department of State produced a Human Rights Report on Malaysia in 2013 which explicitly cites my case as a repression of internet speech rights," he said.
"If all else fails, I can easily publish more 'seditious' materials on my Facebook to taunt the authorities and get them to be hot on the pursuit of me again, therefore creating an even more well-founded fear of political persecution to bolster my asylum claim.”
Tan and Lee were jointly accused of making a seditious posting on their Facebook page when they uploaded a photo of themselves eating bak kut teh, a Chinese herbal pork soup, with the caption "Selamat berbuka puasa" - a Malay greeting used when breaking fast.

Malaysia regulator issues request to remove 'sex blogger' Alvin Tan's Facebook page
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission says Tan's Facebook page violated the social media network's terms and conditions, and found his actions as "distasteful".
SINGAPORE: Malaysia's Internet regulator, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), requested Facebook to remove the page of Malaysian "sex blogger" Alvin Tan Jye Yee, claiming it is "against their terms and conditions of service".
On its Facebook page on Oct 1, MCMC Chairman Mohamed Sharil Mohamed Tarmizi wrote: "We condemn the irresponsible act of Alvin Tan on Facebook and find his actions distasteful. We have made a complaint to Facebook and have requested it to immediately remove the page as we believe it is also against the terms and conditions of service."
"We remind the public to refrain from sharing sensitive content which may offend others," he added.

Ex-SPH reporter gets 18 months' jail for underage sex
Ex-SPH reporter gets 18 months' jail for underage sex
The former Straits Times reporter will serve his sentence on June 24 after pleading guilty to having sex with the then 15-year-old girl.
SINGAPORE: Former Straits Times reporter Eisen Teo Guan Kuan was on Monday (June 9) sentenced to 18 months' jail for having underage sex with a girl he was mentoring.
The 29-year old was part of the SPH team producing two weekly magazines for primary and secondary school students. He mentored about a dozen student journalists at the “IN Crowd” media club, which the victim was part of.
Teo started to take a special interest in the girl, who was 15 at the time of the offences, after reading on her blog that she was depressed.
They became romantically involved in the fourth quarter of 2011. On a date to Fort Canning Park in early 2012, he suggested she perform oral sex on him in one of the toilets.
On June 23, 2012, Teo brought the girl to the Serangoon flat he shared with his wife, after telling the girl he needed her help to paint his house. After introducing her to his wife, he had sex with the victim in the study room while his wife was baking in the kitchen.
District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim told Teo he had been "audacious enough" to have done so while his wife was "metres away".
The victim, who cannot be named, attempted suicide two days later and only told her sister a few months later about sex with Teo. She made a police report in December 2012.
During sentencing, District Judge Hamidah said while Teo had pleaded guilty to his offences at the first opportunity, "leniency was out of the question" based on the aggravating factors. She added that he had clearly taken advantage of a young and immature person.
She also said that as early as 2011, Teo was aware that the girl had been mentally unwell when she confided in Teo about her depressive behaviour, which included thoughts of self harm.
In mitigation, Teo's lawyers said he was remorseful and that he was not a sexual predator.
Teo will start serving his sentence on June 24.

Sex bloggers get court’s nod to travel to Singapore to film life story
Sex bloggers get court’s nod to travel to Singapore to film life story
Sex bloggers Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee succeeded in getting back their passports from the court today, pending a trial over their controversial Ramadan "greeting" last year, as they are scheduled to travel to Singapore for the filming of a programme on their life story.
Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court judge Abdul Rashid Daud allowed the two to have their passports back until June 3, based on an application by their lawyer Chong Joo Tian.
The prosecution led by deputy public prosecutor Wan Shaharuddin Wan Ladin did not object to the return of the passports, but asked that Tan and Lee, who are popularly known as “Alvivi”, not to comment on the pending case during the filming of the programme in Singapore.
Chong said later that the judge also waived a pre-set condition for them to report to the police station on June 1.
He said upon their return on June 3, they would have to return their passports to the court and would be required to continue reporting to the nearest police station at the beginning of each month.
Last month, the Court of Appeal struck out a charge under the Penal Code against the two sex bloggers on grounds that it was not applicable to non-Muslims.
The charge under Section 298 – for stirring hostility between religions – was struck out on the grounds that the law was meant to ensure the smoothness of the practice of Islam among its followers, not those of other religions.
However, Tan and Lee still face two other charges under the Film Censorship Act and Sedition Act for allegedly publishing a photograph with the comment "Selamat Berbuka Puasa (dengan bak kut teh... wangi, enak, menyelerakan)" which contained a halal logo and allegedly seditious statements, and for displaying pornographic images on their blog.
The duo's postings on July 11 last year triggered furious reactions from Malaysians of all races, following which they removed the posting and uploaded a new picture of them eating ketupat, rendang and curry puffs.
However, the Facebook page was later removed.
The trial date at the Sessions Court has yet to be fixed as the Attorney-General's Chambers is appealing against the Court of Appeal decision on Section 298 of the Penal Code.

Brisbane dad hired underage prostitute for son
Brisbane dad hired underage prostitute for son
A Brisbane father has been convicted of hiring an underage prostitute for his 13-year-old son on a family holiday to Thailand.
He is believed to be the first person charged under child sex tourism laws introduced in 2010 and aimed at stopping Australian pedophiles from exploiting foreign children.
The episode happened during a trip to the resort island of Koh Samui for a friend's wedding in September 2012, the Courier Mail.
The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, got drunk at the buck's party and told his son he did not want him returning to Australia "without losing his virginity," the Brisbane District Court heard.
He then paid a prostitute, inspected the room to make sure there were condoms and waited downstairs while his son had sex.
He then told the boy not to tell his mother, who was holidaying with them in Koh Samui.
The mother did find out, however, and made a formal complaint to police after an "acrimonious" marriage split.
The father later pleaded guilty to procuring a child to engage in sex outside Australia.
Yesterday his defence barrister said his client realised his behaviour was wrong and a psychologist treating him for depression had concluded there was no risk of reoffending.
The father was sentenced to 12 months in jail but released on a $2000, two-year good behaviour bond.

The father, who cannot be named for legal reasons, got drunk at the buck's party and told his son he did not want him returning to Australia "without losing his virginity," the Brisbane District Court heard.
He then paid a prostitute, inspected the room to make sure there were condoms and waited downstairs while his son had sex.
He then told the boy not to tell his mother, who was holidaying with them in Koh Samui.
The mother did find out, however, and made a formal complaint to police after an "acrimonious" marriage split.
The father later pleaded guilty to procuring a child to engage in sex outside Australia.
Yesterday his defence barrister said his client realised his behaviour was wrong and a psychologist treating him for depression had concluded there was no risk of reoffending.
The father was sentenced to 12 months in jail but released on a $2000, two-year good behaviour bond.

Ex-law prof Tey Tsun Hang cleared of corruption by High Court
Ex-law prof Tey Tsun Hang cleared of corruption by High Court
Former professor Tey Tsun Hang exits Selarang Park Community Supervision Centre on a hired cab after having his electronic tag removed on Oct 5, 2013. High Court Justice Woo Bih Li also questioned why Mr Tey told Ms Darinne Ko he had no money to pay for the abortion in 2010 when he was working for NUS.

But even as he cleared Mr Tey of criminal wrongdoing, Justice Woo Bih Li had strong words for the ex-professor, saying that he was "a man without honour".
Sex-for-grades case takes a surprising turn
The high-profile sex-for-grades case involving former National University of Singapore (NUS) law professor Tey Tsun Hang and his ex-student Darinne Ko took a surprising turn on Friday when the High Court acquitted him of corruption, after he had served a five-month jail term.
Singapore High Court overturns sex-for-favours conviction
AFP - Singapore's High Court has overturned the conviction of a law professor jailed for obtaining sexual favours and gifts from a female student in exchange for better grades, his lawyer said Friday.
Former National University of Singapore (NUS) law professor Tey Tsun Hang, 42, served a five-month sentence last year after he was found guilty by a district court of six charges of corruption over his relationship with his then-student Darinne Ko in 2010.
The district court ruled that he had "exploited" the female student by obtaining sexual favours from her and also receiving gifts that included tailored shirts and a limited-edition pen.
But Tey's lawyer Peter Low said Friday that High Court Justice Woo Bih Li "allowed an appeal and overturned the conviction", five months after he completed his prison sentence.
"The crux of it is that the court found that it takes two hands to clap even though he exploited her and that she was in love with him," Low told AFP.
"I am glad that Professor Tey has been vindicated by a court of law and acquitted of all six corruption charges," he said.
The NUS, which announced last year that it had terminated Tey's employment after his conviction, did not immediately comment on the ruling. In handing down the sentence last year, Chief District Judge Tan Siong Thye said Tey "abused his position and power" while in the relationship with Ko and chastised him for his "ulterior motives and corrupt intention".
The court had heard during the trial that Ko got pregnant during their affair and paid for her own abortion.
It is the second high-profile corruption case to be overturned in Singapore in the past year.
Ng Boon Gay, a former head of Singapore's narcotics police, was cleared of corruption in February 2013 after a court rejected charges that he demanded oral sex from a female contractor to help her win government deals.

Former professor in sex-for-grades case wins appeal against conviction
Former professor in sex-for-grades case wins appeal against conviction

UPDATED: 28 Feb 2014 21:07
SINGAPORE: The former National University of Singapore (NUS) professor involved in the sex-for-grades case has won his appeal against his conviction and sentence.
Tey Tsun Hang was found guilty in May last year by a district court of corruption charges.
The High Court ruled that his former student, Darinne Ko, did not give him presents or have sex with him to get better grades.
Justice Woo Bih Li said the trial judge had wrongly equated conduct which is morally reprehensible with conduct which is legally wrong.
A fine of S$514.80, which Tey was ordered to pay, will also be refunded to him.
The money is equivalent to the value of two tailored shirts and part of the cost of a dinner.
But Tey has already served his five-month jail sentence, meted out to him in May.
Peter Cuthbert Low, Tey’s lawyer, said: "I don't think he'll get any compensation because the judge made it very clear that he elected to go into prison pending the outcome of his appeal.
“He also applied for the hearing to take place after he served sentence. So although he's been acquitted of all six charges, he can't sue the authorities for compensation for having served the sentence.”
But Justice Woo said his decision vindicates Tey of the charges only.
The court does not condone the way Tey abused his position and exploited Ms Ko.
Justice Woo added Tey took advantage of her to satisfy his greed and his lust.
He also said Tey was a man without honour.
When asked, an NUS spokesperson said Tey may choose to petition to return to the university.
If he does so, the university will call for a committee of inquiry to determine if Tey is guilty of any misconduct and if so, what sanctions are warranted.
The Attorney General's Chambers said the prosecution will study the full written grounds of the High Court before deciding whether any further action is necessary.

22 years jail for sexual assualt involving Taiwanese starlets and models
22 years jail for sexual assualt involving Taiwanese starlets and models
POSTED: 03 Sep 2013 6:59 PM
One of Taiwan’s biggest sex scandals in recent years involving a rich playboy and several victims including models and starlets, has closed with a 22 year jail term for assaulting nine women and filming the acts
Taipei: Socialite Justin Lee, the son of former Yuanta CEO Lee Yueh-tsang, has received a jail sentence of some 22 years for sexually assaulting nine women and filming the acts.
A host of Taiwanese starlets and models had been named among Lee's victims.
According to Taiwan media, Lee who's also known as Li Zongrui, had 27.5GB files of sex videos and nude pictures found by police in his apartment.
A total of 93 videos (883mins) and 176 photos were apparently found on the hard-drive of Lee's computer and a few has since been leaked online.
The graphic images show Lee having sex with different women, some of whom appear dazed or struggling with him.
Lee who faced 45 counts of rape, aggravated rape, and violation of privacy, turned himself in last month after hiding from authorities.
The court chided Lee, saying "Lee should have collaborated with the authorities to clarify the case".
The Taipei district court went on to sentence Lee to jail for 18 years and six months for nine counts of assault.
He was sentenced to another three years and ten months for making sex videos without the women's consent and invading their privacy.
In addition, Lee will also have to pay a total of NT$14.25 million (S$610,200) in damages to 12 of his victims.
As previous hearings of the case were closed to the public, Taiwan media turned up in force for the sentencing of Lee, who appeared relieved when his sentence was read out.
The court said there was not enough evidence to convict Lee of aggravated sexual assault by drugging some victims, as prosecutors had requested.
The 28-year-old was originally accused of drugging, raping as well as secretly filming as many as 30 women, among them models and actresses – crimes which carry a combined maximum penalty of 30 years jail - in one of Taiwan’s biggest sex scandals in recent years.
Lee who plans to appeal the sentencing has claimed that all the women in the videos had agreed to the recordings. He has also denied drugging them.
In July 2011, two sisters filed a complaint against Lee for drug rape and recording sexual activity without consent.
Amidst a year-long police investigation, the scandal took another turn when Next Magazine claimed in August last year,that Taiwanese celebrities Maggie Wu, Terri Kwan, Bianca Bai, and Ruru Lin were featured in the videos.

Judicial review of judge’s decision to deny Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee bail to be heard this Thursday
23 Jul 2013 01:46am
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court today set this Thursday to hear the application for leave for judicial review filed by controversial couple Alvin Tan and Vivian Lee over the Sessions Court judge’s decision to deny them bail.

The couple submitted that all their electronic equipment and computers had been seized by the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and if there was a risk of repeating the offence the court could have set conditions for the bail.
Tan and Lee also said they did not pose a flight risk as their families lived in Malaysia and even if there was their passports could have been impounded.
On July 18, Judge Murtazadi denied Alvin Tan (Tan Jye Yee) and Vivian Lee (Lee May Ling) bail, pending their trial on the grounds that the case was a matter of public interest.

They were jointly accused of making a seditious posting on ‘Alvin and Vivian – Alvivi’ Facebook site (https://www.facebook.com/alvivi.swingers) with a photo of themselves eating ‘bak kut teh’ (a pork dish) with the greeting ‘Selamat Berbuka Puasa (Happy Breaking Fast) with bak kut teh, fragrant, delicious and appetising’, with a halal logo as well.
On the second charge, Tan and Lee were accused of posting pornographic pictures on http://alviviswingers.tumblr.com/ at the same place between 9pm and 2am from July 6 and 7.
The duo were also charged with posting on their own Facebookpages the same picture (bak kut teh picture) and comments which were likely to cause religious enmity between people of different faiths.
Deputy public prosecutor Noorin Badaruddin, who led the prosecution, had applied for both the accused to be denied bail as the charges they faced were under Section 298A (1) (a) of the Penal Code and Film Censorship Act, which were non-bailable offences.
