2024.8.6 The Police would like to remind members of the public to remain vigilant against social media impersonation scams. This variant involves scammers gaining access to WhatsApp accounts through the use of fake “WhatsApp Web” websites. The owners of the compromised WhatsApp accounts were led to the fake websites after conducting searches on online search engines. Such compromised accounts were subsequently used to contact and scam the account owner’s contacts. Since January 2024, at least 20 such reports have been lodged, with total losses amounting to at least $46,000.
Police Advisory On The Resurgence Of Social Media Impersonation Scams Involving Compromised Whatsapp Accounts
The Police would like to remind members of the public to remain vigilant against social media impersonation scams. This variant involves scammers gaining access to WhatsApp accounts through the use of fake “WhatsApp Web” websites. The owners of the compromised WhatsApp accounts were led to the fake websites after conducting searches on online search engines. Such compromised accounts were subsequently used to contact and scam the account owner’s contacts. Since January 2024, at least 20 such reports have been lodged, with total losses amounting to at least $46,000.
Users who intended to access their WhatsApp accounts using their desktops would search for the “WhatsApp Web” website using online search engines. Users would click on the first few search results without verifying if these belong to the official WhatsApp website. The users were then led to fake websites embedded with a genuine QR code which had been extracted from the official website of WhatsApp by the scammers. Scanning the QR code on these phishing websites would cause the user’s WhatsApp account to be linked to the scammer’s desktop. However, the users would still be able to access their WhatsApp account on their mobile phone/computer so they would not realise that their WhatsApp accounts have been compromised.
The scammers would use the compromised WhatsApp accounts to reach out to potential victims on the user’s WhatsApp contact list. The scammers would impersonate the WhatsApp account owner and deceive victims into transferring monies. Scammers would typically claim that the monies are needed urgently for various reasons (e.g. to pay for purchases) under the pretext that their bank accounts have been restricted (e.g. exceeded transfer limits). Victims would then be asked to transfer money to bank accounts or PayNow numbers provided by scammers.

警方就利用被盗 Whatsapp 账户进行社交媒体冒充诈骗的再度兴起发出警告
2024.8.3 On 23 July 2024, the victim, a commodity firm based in Singapore lodged a police report stating that it had fallen prey to a case of Business Email Compromise Scam. Investigations revealed that on 15 July 2024, their staff received an email from a “supplier” notifying him to transfer the payment for some goods to a new bank account based in Timor-Leste. Unbeknownst to the staff, the “i” in the supplier’s original email was replaced with a “l”. The staff then transferred a sum of USD 42.3 million to the purported supplier on 19 July 2024 and the funds was directed to the fraudulent bank account maintained in Timor-Leste. On 23 July 2024, the staff discovered the fraud after being informed by their genuine supplier that they had not received the payment.
International Cooperation Leading To The Biggest Recovery Of Over Usd 40 Million Linked To Business Email Compromise Scam
The Anti-Scam Centre (ASC) of the Singapore Police Force (SPF), in collaboration with Timor-Leste authorities and INTERPOL, has made the largest recovery of over USD 40 million (approximately SGD 53 million) in a case of Business Email Compromise Scam.
On 23 July 2024, the victim, a commodity firm based in Singapore lodged a police report stating that it had fallen prey to a case of Business Email Compromise Scam. Investigations revealed that on 15 July 2024, their staff received an email from a “supplier” notifying him to transfer the payment for some goods to a new bank account based in Timor-Leste. Unbeknownst to the staff, the “i” in the supplier’s original email was replaced with a “l”. The staff then transferred a sum of USD 42.3 million to the purported supplier on 19 July 2024 and the funds was directed to the fraudulent bank account maintained in Timor-Leste. On 23 July 2024, the staff discovered the fraud after being informed by their genuine supplier that they had not received the payment.
Pursuant to the police report, the SPF swiftly engaged the Timor-Leste authorities, as well as INTERPOL through the INTERPOL Global Rapid Intervention of Payments (I-GRIP). On 24 July 2024, the ASC was alerted that a sum of USD 39 million was detected and frozen in the bank account maintained in Timor-Leste. On 25 July 2024, the authorities of Timor-Leste further informed that several subjects were arrested, leading to the recovery of over USD 2 million. Through protracted follow-up investigations, the Scientific Police Criminal Investigation, National Intelligence Services, Financial Intelligence Unit and other Law Enforcement Agencies of Timor-Leste arrested a total of seven suspects. Steps are being taken for the return of the stolen funds to the victim in Singapore.
The SPF remains committed to working closely with international counterparts to combat cross-border criminal activities and uphold the integrity of the global financial system. This successful recovery underscores the critical importance of international cooperation in combating transnational scam cases, where perpetrators operate in a borderless environment.
Director Commercial Affairs Department, Mr David Chew said, “Scams are a global threat that requires a global response from law enforcement, wherever the tentacles of this beast may reach. Today, money moves at the click of a button, law enforcement must be able to move as fast to protect our citizens from scams. When money flees across our borders, law enforcement must be able to not just sense-make but also have the available legal and international systems in place to speedily follow and seize it. This it can do with the help of supranational bodies like INTERPOL and law enforcement in the recipient country. The successful recovery of more than USD 40 million in this case stands as a testament to law enforcement’s ability to do this. This achievement underscores the invaluable crime-fighting role of cross-border partnership in safeguarding the global financial system. We make sure that the criminals and their money can run but they cannot hide from the long arm of the law. Although the money had left Singapore, through INTERPOL, the SPF was able to rely on law enforcement in Timor-Leste to follow and seize the money for the Singapore victim and arrest the perpetrators. This collaborative effort highlights the critical importance of a quick and effective response in addressing transnational fraud. We commend the swift and decisive action of INTERPOL’s Financial Crime and Anti-Corruption Centre (IFCACC), which played a pivotal role in the prompt interception of the USD 40 million. I would also like to thank the Timor-Leste authorities for their strong support and commitment in tackling transnational crime syndicates who prey on victims in Singapore.”

2024.7.29 The Police are investigating 123 persons, aged between 15 and 74, for their suspected involvement in unlicensed moneylending activities, following an islandwide operation conducted between 17 and 23 July 2024.
123 Persons Investigated For Unlicensed Moneylending Activities During Seven-Day Islandwide Police Operation
The Police are investigating 123 persons, aged between 15 and 74, for their suspected involvement in unlicensed moneylending activities, following an islandwide operation conducted between 17 and 23 July 2024.
During the seven-day operation, officers from the Criminal Investigation Department and the seven Police land divisions conducted simultaneous raids island-wide. Preliminary investigations revealed that seven persons had allegedly harassed debtors at their residence and 56 persons are believed to be runners who had assisted in unlicensed moneylending activities by carrying out Automated Teller Machine (ATM) transfers.
The remaining 60 persons allegedly opened bank accounts and provided their ATM cards, Personal Identification Numbers (PINs) and/or Internet Banking tokens to unlicensed moneylenders to facilitate their unlicensed moneylending activities.
Investigations against all the persons are ongoing.
Under the Moneylenders Act 2008, when a bank account, ATM card or Internet Banking token of any person is used to facilitate moneylending by an unlicensed moneylender, that person is presumed to have assisted in carrying on the business of unlicensed moneylending. First-time offenders found guilty of the offence of carrying on or assisting in a business of unlicensed moneylending shall be punished with imprisonment term of up to four years, a fine of not less than $30,000 and not more than $300,000 and caning of not more than six strokes. First-time offenders found guilty of the offence of acting on behalf of an unlicensed moneylender to commit or attempt to commit any acts of harassment shall be punished with imprisonment term of up to five years, a fine of not less than $5,000 and not more than $50,000 and caning of not less than three and not more than six strokes.
The Police will continue to take tough enforcement action against those involved in the unlicensed moneylending business, regardless of their roles, and ensure that they face the full brunt of the law. This includes taking action against those who open or give away their bank accounts to aid unlicensed moneylenders.
Unlicensed moneylenders will not hesitate to carry out persistent and dangerous harassment acts on the borrowers and their families, such as setting fire and splashing paint at their residences and locking the gates using chains or bicycle locks to confine the occupants. Members of the public are advised to stay away from unlicensed moneylenders to avoid the vicious cycle of harassment, and not to work with or assist them in any way as there are serious legal consequences. The public can call the Police at ‘999’ or the X-Ah Long hotline at 1800-924-5664 if they suspect or know of anyone who could be involved in unlicensed moneylending activities.

2024.7.27 Su Jianfeng, last convict in S$3B money laundering case, deported to Cambodia. Su Jianfeng, the last of the ten individuals convicted in Singapore’s landmark S$3 billion money laundering case, was deported to Cambodia on 26 July and barred from re-entering Singapore, according to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).

About S$187 million worth of assets linked to Su Jianfeng or held under his wife’s name have been seized including cash, properties, vehicles, luxury goods, cryptocurrency and alcohol.

SINGAPORE: Su Jianfeng, the last of 10 people convicted in the S$3 billion money laundering case, has been deported to Cambodia.
He was deported on Jul 26 and barred from re-entering Singapore, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said on Sunday (Jul 28) in response to queries from CNA.
“Su is the last of the 10 accused persons arrested on Aug 15, 2023, and convicted and sentenced for money laundering and other offences, to be deported,” added ICA.
Su, a 36-year-old Vanuatu national with roots in Fujian, China, was given 17 months’ jail on Jun 10.
He was the last of 10 offenders to be sentenced in the multibillion-dollar money laundering probe in Singapore that cast a light on foreign nationals buying up luxury properties in the country.
The case, which concluded in June, involved billions of dollars worth of assets such as hard cash, luxury properties, branded goods, cryptocurrency and alcohol.
About S$944 million (US$697 million) in assets seized in relation to the 10 criminals was forfeited to the state.
Su’s jail term was the longest of the nine men and one woman prosecuted over the case, where illegal proceeds from Southeast Asian gambling centres aimed at Chinese punters were converted into luxury goods and properties in Singapore’s priciest neighbourhoods.
Su had pleaded guilty to one charge each of possessing S$550,903 in criminal benefits and fraudulently using a property sale contract to explain the source of about S$2 million deposited into his Maybank account. Another 12 charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.
About S$187 million worth of assets linked to Su or held under his wife’s name have been seized including cash, properties, vehicles, luxury goods, cryptocurrency and alcohol.
This is among the highest across the 10 offenders in the probe.
Su has agreed to have at least 95 per cent of the seized assets forfeited to the state.
DEPORTED TO CAMBODIA, JAPAN, UK
Including Su, eight individuals who were convicted were deported from Singapore to Cambodia.
The others were Zhang Ruijin, Su Baolin, Su Haijin, Su Wenqiang, Wang Baosen, Chen Qingyuan and Lin Baoying.
Cambodia authorities later expelled Zhang from the country.
The country’s General Department of Immigration did not specify where Zhang was deported to but noted he holds a passport from Saint Kitts and Nevis, a tiny island nation in the Caribbean.
The remaining convicts, Vang Shuiming and Wang Dehai, were deported to Japan and the United Kingdom respectively.
