Just because you are scam-naive, that's not a reason to make that remark. We have no intention to be the Number One Newspapers in the world if it means allowing western style reporting where it's anything goes, lock, stock, barrel and fake news.

Did you read this in the article?

She contacted the company and was given a link to choose a time slot for collection.

Never click on any link on your WhatsApp, WeChat, Telegram, SMS, email, or anything including forums.

How that link will read all your information in your cookies, including the user names and passwords you had entered in your various devices...that, we do not need to know. That's for IT experts to know. The link will just scour through your devices and get your passwords and even mobile number to receive the 2FA, and you are scammed.

Scammers are IT experts. Oh yes, they have a computer science or IT degree.

ADs in FB shd be totally avoided. FB is totally never safe.

Vang currently faces five charges - one of using a forged document and four of possessing criminal benefits worth S$2.4 million from unlicensed moneylending in China.

The 42-year-old Turk with multiple passports was arrested on Aug 15 this year, said Mr Teh Yee Liang of the Singapore Police Force’s Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) in his affidavit.

Two days after this, while Vang was remanded, more than US$2.8 million worth of cryptocurrencies was withdrawn from his Binance account.

"Information gathered suggests that the movement of assets was by a person of interest after the accused had been arrested," said Mr Teh.

Vang is linked to three other wanted suspects who are on the run, including his brother.

Two days after this, while Vang was remanded, more than US$2.8 million worth of cryptocurrencies was withdrawn from his Binance account.

"Information gathered suggests that the movement of assets was by a person of interest after the accused had been arrested," said Mr Teh.

Vang is linked to three other wanted suspects who are on the run, including his brother.

Mr Teh said CAD had not known of these assets initially, and was alerted to them only after receiving information from "foreign authorities".

Mr Teh said the overall quantum of cryptocurrency assets is believed to amount to more than US$30 million and investigations on this front are ongoing.

"This further strengthens my belief that the accused has connections and assets to allow him to relocate outside of Singapore, despite the seizure of his local assets, should he be released on bail," said Mr Teh.

More than S$200 million in assets linked to Vang have been seized in Singapore.

According to Mr Teh, this comprises S$962,000 in cash, S$128.8 million in his bank accounts, S$5.5 million in his wife's bank accounts, 15 properties worth S$104.8 million in his wife's name but funded by him and three vehicles worth S$3.4 million in his wife's name but funded by him.

This info came in an affidavit by the IO tendered to the court in support of the prosecution’s objection to bail for Vang Shuiming on Friday (Sep 29).

Vang 42-year-old Turk with multiple passports was arrested on Aug 15 2023. Mr Teh said the overall quantum of cryptocurrency assets is believed to amount to more than US$30m.

Vang relocated to Singapore with his wife, son and daughter in 2019, and his children are attending international schools, the court heard.

He has substantial wealth and assets overseas, said the IO. This includes an estimated 32 million yuan (US$4.4 million) worth of investments in Chinese private companies, US$18 million worth of land plots in Cambodia, US$500,000 of investments in Turkey, two condominium units in Xiamen, China, worth 20 million yuan, HK$2 million in a bank account in Hong Kong and US$110,000 worth of USDT or Tether tokens.

In response to Vang's arguing that his parents were "not physically mobile" in his bid for bail, Mr Teh pointed to travel records.

These showed that Vang's parents recently travelled out of Singapore, returning from Hong Kong via a private jet in March this year.

Vang was ultimately denied bail, and his lawyers said he intended to contest his charges.

Singapore -- 3 arrested in Singapore over suspected links to multi-million dollar 'refund fraud' scheme in the US

3 arrested in Singapore over suspected links to multi-million dollar 'refund fraud' scheme in the US

Online retailers such as Amazon and Walmart have suffered millions of dollars in losses.

SINGAPORE: Three men have been arrested in Singapore in relation to a “refund fraud” scheme that caused large online retailers in the US to suffer millions of dollars in losses.

The men are aged between 23 and 25 and investigations are ongoing, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said on Monday (Nov 13) in response to queries from CNA.

The US Department of Justice announced in a press release last week that 10 members of an international cyber fraud ring were indicted for a “refund fraud” targeting online retailers.

The document named the 10 men, all based in the US. It also said that these individuals participated in the scheme “along with unindicted co-conspirators in Singapore, Canada, and the United Kingdom”.

The so-called Artemis Refund Group engaged in these acts to steal goods for themselves and others from April 2019 to October 2023, said the US Attorney for the Northern District of Oklahoma.

“ARG advertised their refund fraud services heavily on online messaging forums, which resulted in hundreds of customers of the fraud placing thousands of refund fraud orders. Some of these fraudulently refunded orders were shipped to the Northern District of Oklahoma, giving rise to venue in this district,” it added.

As part of the refund fraud conspiracy, the group would instruct fraud customers to purchase a product of their choice at one of the many retailers they targeted. They then collected information about the order and contacted the retailer to initiate a fraudulent refund transaction using a variety of tailored methods.

Billionaire Kwek Leng Beng’s CDL, Partners Submit Top Bid Of $715 Million For Singapore Housing Site

City Developments (CDL)—controlled by billionaire Kwek Leng Beng—and its joint venture partners submitted the top bid of S$968 million ($715 million) for a residential site in the north central Singapore district of Toa Payoh as the developer replenishes its landbank to tap into resilient housing demand in the Lion City.

Should the government award the site to the partners, the consortium plans to build two 40-story residential towers comprising about 800 units on the 15,743 square meter plot, offering future residents panoramic views of the nearby MacRitchie Reservoir. CDL will hold a 50% stake in the project, while Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi’s Frasers Property and Japan’s Sekisui House will each hold equal stakes of 25%.

“Considering the limited new home supply in the vicinity, our development will offer homeowners an attractive opportunity to reside in a mature town with excellent connectivity and plentiful amenities,” Sherman Kwek, group CEO of CDL, said in a statement. “Together with our partners, we look forward to tapping on our collective expertise to create an iconic development in the highly sought-after Toa Payoh estate.”

The Toa Payoh plot is one of the three sites auctioned in the final government land sales for the year. Singapore has been accelerating the release of residential sites to help temper record home prices in the city state. Private housing prices have risen about 3.9% so far this year, after rising 8.6% in 2022.

Among the three sites, the 13,451 square meter plot at Clementi Avenue 1 in the western part of Singapore was the most popular, drawing six bids. The top bid of S$633.4 million was submitted by a joint venture between Hongkong Land unit MCL Land, and its partner CSC Land, part of China State Construction Engineering Corp.

MCL Land and its partner Sinarmas Land, controlled by Indonesia’s Widjaja family, also submitted the top bid of S$692.39 million for a 25,039 square meter site in Pine Grove in the affluent Bukit Timah enclave in Singapore’s western central region.

SINGAPORE: The 10 people who have been arrested and charged in relation to a multi-billion dollar money laundering probe all hold either employment passes or dependent’s passes in Singapore, and none had been on Interpol’s list of red notices at the time of their application for these passes, Second Minister for Home Affairs Josephine Teo said on Tuesday (Oct 3).

Interpol, an international police body, issues red notices to ask law enforcement officials around the world to locate and provisionally arrest a person, pending extradition, surrender or similar legal action.

Mrs Teo, who is also Minister for Communication and Information, was delivering a ministerial statement in parliament in response to questions from Members of Parliament (MPs), some of which related to how the 10 suspects had entered Singapore and obtained immigration passes.

The 10 people who have been charged have all been denied bail, with prosecutors saying that the suspects have high flight risks and could collude to contaminate evidence.

In her speech, Mrs Teo also updated parliament on the latest details of the case, saying that the total value of assets seized or issued with prohibition of disposal orders by the police now stands at more than S$2.8 billion (US$2.04 billion).

This is nearly three times the S$1 billion that was announced by the police when the case broke in August, before the police updated on Sep 20 that the amount had grown to more than S$2.4 billion.

Mrs Teo pointed to two other major money laundering probes that Singapore undertook, which resulted in serious enforcement action:

One is the 1MDB case, which resulted in the seizure or prohibition of assets amounting to more than S$240 million, the conviction of four bankers, including one who was sentenced to more than four years of imprisonment and the shutting down of two private banks.

The other is the Wirecard case. Following a probe into irregularities in the German company's financial statements, which involved of Singapore-based individuals and entities, three banks and an insurer in Singapore were issued penalties amounting to S$3.8 million, seven individuals were charged and three of them have been convicted for offences including money laundering.

"These examples leave no doubt that Singapore takes money laundering seriously,” Mrs Teo said.

"When there is reasonable suspicion to investigate, we do not hesitate to do so. We do not turn a blind eye to any risks, when we become aware of them."

She also noted that if no cases were to be reported, that is not necessarily a sign that there are no money laundering offences occurring in the system.

When we open for business - and we have to be - criminals will also try to exploit the same economic openness and our strong reputation for rule of law, to launder their illicit funds, and create the appearance of legitimacy," she said.

Singapore handles massive volumes of transactions every day, she noted, and this sheer volume provides "easy camouflage" for illicit activities.

She outlined just how often suspicious transactions are flagged here as a result: The Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office, a body under the Singapore Police Force that focuses on financial intelligence, received an average of 43,000 suspicious transaction reports annually from 2020 to 2022, or more than 150 every working day.

In the same period, at least 240 people were convicted of money laundering offences, largely related to laundering domestic scam proceeds, and some S$1.2 billion worth of assets were seized.
