AMK Police arrest woman allegedly behind online cheating cases

The police are asking victims who may have fallen prey to an online branded bag cheating ruse to come forward and lodge a police report.

The call comes as police arrested a 22-year-old woman who is believed to be involved in at least two cases of online cheating.

On March 3, the victim made a police report that she had been cheated during an online purchase of a branded bag.

Investigations revealed that the victim had responded to an online advertisement placed by the suspect on the website "Deluxemall.com" for the sale of branded bags.

The suspect had used the online moniker, "Bagjunkie".

The victim bought a bag and transferred a sum of S$1,400 to a bank account provided by the suspect.

Thereafter, the suspect became evasive and the bag was never delivered to the victim.

Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division carried out extensive investigations.

They managed to establish the identity of the suspect and arrested her on March 21.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect had also cheated another victim of S$1,450 through the same website for the purchase of a branded bag that was also never delivered to the victim.

The suspect will be charged in court on Friday for cheating.

If convicted, she could be jailed for up to 10 years, and fined.
