Police have apprehended over 300 individuals suspected of involvement in more than 1,000 scam cases during a two-week islandwide operation in Singapore. The suspects, consisting of 229 men and 87 women aged 15 to 73, are being investigated for scams related to jobs, malware, phishing, impersonation of government officials, internet love, and e-commerce. The victims reportedly lost over S$8.5 million (RM30 million). The suspects are facing allegations of cheating, money laundering, or providing payment services without a license. If found guilty, they could face imprisonment and fines. The public is urged to reject requests to use their bank accounts or mobile lines to avoid accountability for any link to criminal activities.
