Singapore teen arrested for allegedly cheating Foodpanda of more than RM42,000

A male 17-year-old teen in Singapore has been arrested for his suspected involvement in cheating delivery company Foodpanda of more than SGD14,000 (RM42,658). The teenager cannot be named due to Singapore’s Children and Young Persons Act.

The Singapore Police Force stated that they had received a report from Foodpanda on 21 August. In the report, it said the company was deceived into believing that their riders had failed to deliver a customer’s orders.

In his charge sheet, the teen made Foodpanda believe that he had not received groceries worth SGD51.35 (RM156.77), including a pack of grapes, six packs of flavoured milk, a pack of Kellogg’s cornflakes, a Mamee Monster Noodle Snack, potato chips and cereal bars. He received the refund from Foodpanda.

The teen is being investigated for a series of refund scams, totalling to RM42,658 in over eight months. Through investigations, officers from the Jurong Police Division identified the teen and arrested him on 24 August.

Police said that the teenager will be charged in court on 25th August 2020 with cheating under section 420 of the Penal Code. If convicted, he could be jailed up to 10 years or fined, or both. However, he was offered bail of SGD15,000 (RM45,794) and will return to court on 22 September.

In April, young men aged 19 and 20 had cheated more than 80 people of SGD30,000 (RM92,000) by pretending to sell Nintendo Switch consoles. They were also arrested by the Singapore Police Force.
