The 37-year old was jailed a year and nine months. He had pleaded guilty to cheating by impersonation.
Chong found the wallet belonging to Mr Elgin Tan Wee Hong, 34, in a coffee shop in Marine Parade in early November last year. In it were documents that included Mr Tan's identity card, driving licence and cash of between $20 and $30. He is a director of a company supplying veterinary products.
On Nov 11, Chong went to the Bishan CPF office to get a staff member to help him reset the password to Mr Tan's SingPass account. An hour later, he pretended to be Mr Tan and applied for a $1,500 loan from Creditmaster along Geylang Road. He handed over the identity card as well as the CPF and income tax documents requested by the credit company from Mr Tan's SingPass account. The loan was approved.
