SINGAPORE: After a 24-year-old woman rejected his proposal for a sexual arrangement, Liaw Jin Yi disguised his voice over a phone call with her, and pretended to be a former sugar baby to vouch for himself.

He later used Microsoft Word to create a fake document which showed a transaction of S$25,000 (RM80,966) from his Bank of America account to his victim’s bank account.
