SINGAPORE: Shortly after his wife died, a man shared details of his bank accounts with people he met online who claimed to be women, only to find out that some of the accounts were later used to handle scam proceeds. Christopher Moh, 66, shared his bank account details with these people despite receiving two warnings from the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD). “Jenny” then asked him to transfer a loan of S$1,000 to an unknown bank account and he complied. “Alicia” told Moh she was living in Amsterdam and was running a chemical engineering business. After that, “Alicia” told him to withdraw the whole amount and use the money to buy iTunes cards.
