Police received a report on Jan. 28 that a 21-year-old man had allegedly been kidnapped.
The reality, however, was that the man was isolating himself in a hotel after falling prey to scammers who had claimed to be from the Ministry of Health (MOH), investigations revealed.
Police managed to locate the victim "safe and sound in a hotel" within eight hours of the report, at around 9:30am.
However, the scammers had swindled over S$560,000 from the victim and his parent by pretending to be police officers in China conducting a money-laundering investigation.
