Man, 20, linked to phishing scams involving bank customers admits to role in money-laundering

The prosecutor added: “While the accused was not the most senior member of the group, he played a key role in activities by assisting... to change the login credentials of the bank accounts, and test to see whether the accounts were working by transferring small amounts of monies between bank accounts.”

DPPs Chua and Ronnie Ang stated in court documents that between Dec 8, 2021, and Jan 19, 2022, the police received 768 reports from OCBC account holders who had fallen prey to phishing scams perpetrated by unknown scammers. Some of these accounts were later used to receive funds from the scams involving OCBC customers. Other bank accounts were used to handle funds from victims of other scams.
