SINGAPORE: Bored while he was quarantined in a hotel in 2020, a man researched on how to scam others, and came across the idea of using stolen credit card details to carry out fraudulent transactions.

He sat on the idea and, between 2021 and 2022, used stolen credit card details to purchase an air purifier, jigsaw puzzles and cookbooks, among other things.
