SINGAPORE - A 17-year-old boy, who allowed scammers to use his bank account to receive $85,220 stolen from OCBC Bank customers, also recruited his friends to commit similar offences.
As part of his probation, he must remain indoors from 10pm to 6am every day and perform 100 hours of community service. On Dec 28, 2021, the teenager received a call from the man, asking if his bank accounts could be used to receive and withdraw $30,000.
