SINGAPORE: A man relinquished control of his company’s bank account to an unknown person in late 2021. The account was then used to receive, and transfer out, the proceeds of online scams totalling S$53,801 (RM176,124).

Of this amount, S$18,801 (RM61,547) came from a victim of the OCBC Bank phishing scams. Court documents did not state if the remaining amount came from the same ruse.
