SINGAPORE: When promised reimbursements and commissions were not paid, the victims smelled a rat and made police reports. On Tuesday (Oct 26), the police said they and their Malaysian counterparts have smashed two transnational job scam syndicates which allegedly cheated more than 390 people here of S$5mil (RM15.38mil). They were promised reimbursements of the full sum and a 5% to 15% commission. While the scammers kept their word at first, they later promised commissions only after a certain number of tasks had been done, and delayed payments. The victims realised they had fallen prey to a scam when they did not receive subsequent reimbursements and commissions.
