On 3 March 2012, 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 purchased a bag and transferred a sum of $1,400 to a bank account provided by the suspect. Thereafter, the suspect became evasive and the bag was never delivered to the victim.
Painstaking investigations and extensive follow-up were conducted by officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division. They managed to establish the identity of the suspect and arrested her on 21 March 2012.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect had also cheated another victim of $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 23 March 2012 for Cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code Chapter 224, which carries a maximum jail term which may extend to 10 years imprisonment, and shall also be liable to fine.
The Police would like to request for other victims who may have also fallen prey to this cheating ruse to come forward and lodge a police report.
