A former car salesman who is accused of scamming multiple people was handed three more cheating charges on Wednesday involving more than $95,000 in total. Edwin Toh Jing Wei, 26,
On Sept 7, the police received multiple separate reports from people who claimed they had lost money in a scam run by a salesman with a local vehicle dealer. The amount totalled more than $100,000.
Officers arrested him that day in Jurong West Street 52, less than 12 hours after the first report was made. A spokesman for Privilege Motors had earlier said it has since honoured all the related purchases, even though Toh had allegedly taken the money. The spokesman also said that when the company found out about the alleged scam, it immediately made a police report and terminated Toh’s employment.
He added: “We also reached out to each affected customer immediately and have delivered the cars. We hope that people will continue to trust Privilege Motors.”For each count of cheating, an offender can be jailed for up to 10 years and fined.
