Three men were jailed for scam-related crimes involving six Singapore-based victims, who were cheated of over $1.1 million in cash and valuables.

Randolph Koh Yong Lee, Ryan Ng Zee Hao and Young Raven were each sentenced to between 49 and 74 months' jail.

Each man had pleaded guilty to dealing with the benefits of criminal conduct and being a member of a syndicate.

SINGAPORE - Three men were given jail sentences on Sept 18 for offences linked to a scam syndicate that cheated six Singapore-based victims of cash and valuables, including gold bars, worth over $1.1 million.

The victims were aged between 36 and 77 years old.

Four of them were over 60 years old, and each of the four lost between $35,000 and $500,000.

One of the offenders, Randolph Koh Yong Lee, 31, was sentenced to six years and two months’ jail , and a fine of $5,000.

Ryan Ng Zee Hao, 26, was sentenced to four years and 11 months’ jail, and also fined $5,000.

Their accomplice, Young Raven , 29, was ordered to spend four years and a month behind bars, and fined $700.

Each Singaporean man had pleaded guilty to dealing with the benefits of criminal conduct and being a member of a crime group.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Nicole Tay said that in February 2025, Koh got to know a woman known only as “El Ang” and asked her if there were any opportunities to earn “fast cash”.

She said she would put him in touch with one “Ah Wei”.

Koh and Ng, who was his friend, travelled to Malaysia the following month to meet the pair.

The men found out that Ah Wei was working for a scam syndicate and reported to a person known only as “Juice”, a Malaysian running a scam call centre in Cambodia.

Ah Wei was running his own cell as part of this syndicate and had just returned from Cambodia to meet them.

However, Koh and Ng did not want to work in Cambodia as the minimum commitment period was three months.

In May 2025, Ah Wei messaged Koh and told him about a “collection job” in Singapore.

It involved picking up cash and valuables from one location, and delivering them to another place.

Koh was promised a 2 per cent commission of the total amount he collected.

Koh contacted Ng, who roped in Young.

The DPP said Ah Wei later sent Koh the details of the collection job every day.

Ng would drive Young to each pick-up location .

There , Young would collect the cash or other items from an individual.

After that, Ng would drive Young to another location to hand over the cash and valuables to a syndicate member .

An unknown person working for the syndicate would approach Young and show him a banknote with a certain serial number.

If the serial number matched the one which was provided earlier, Young would hand over the items to the unknown person.

In May and June 2025, Young collected cash and valuables worth over $1.1 million from the six victims.

Koh and Ng each retained at least $5,000 in profits from this scheme, while Young earned $700.

None of the items have been recovered.

三名男子因诈骗罪被判入狱，他们诈骗了六名新加坡受害者，骗取了超过 110 万美元的现金和贵重物品。

Randolph Koh Yong Lee、Ryan Ng Zee Hao 和 Young Raven 分别被判处 49 至 74 个月的监禁。

每名男子都承认犯有从犯罪行为中获利和参与犯罪集团的罪行。

新加坡——9月18日，三名男子因与一个诈骗团伙有关的罪行被判入狱，该团伙诈骗了六名新加坡受害者，骗取了包括金条在内的现金和贵重物品，总价值超过110万美元。

遇难者年龄介于 36 岁至 77 岁之间。

其中四人年龄均超过 60 岁，每人损失金额在 35,000 美元至 500,000 美元之间。

其中一名罪犯，31岁的Randolph Koh Yong Lee，被判处六年零两个月监禁，并处罚金5000美元。

26岁的Ryan Ng Zee Hao被判处4年11个月监禁，并被罚款5000美元。

他们的同伙，29岁的杨·雷文，被判处四年零一个月监禁，并被罚款700美元。

每名新加坡男子都承认犯有从犯罪行为中获利和参与犯罪集团的罪行。

副检察官 Nicole Tay 表示，2025 年 2 月，Koh 认识了一位只被称为“El Ang”的女子，并询问她是否有任何快速赚钱的机会。

她说她会介绍他认识一个叫“阿伟”的人。

Koh 和他的朋友 Ng 于次月前往马来西亚与这对夫妇见面。

这些人发现阿伟为诈骗团伙工作，于是向一个只被称为“Juice”的人举报，此人是马来西亚人，在柬埔寨经营一家诈骗电话中心。

阿伟是该犯罪集团的成员，他自己组织了一个小组，刚从柬埔寨回来与他们会面。

然而，Koh 和 Ng 并不想在柬埔寨工作，因为最低工作期限为三个月。

2025 年 5 月，阿伟给 Koh 发信息，告诉他新加坡有一份“收款工作”。

这项工作包括从一个地点收取现金和贵重物品，然后将它们送到另一个地点。

Koh被承诺获得他所收取总额的2%作为佣金。

Koh联系了Ng，Ng又拉来了Young。

控方表示，阿伟后来每天都将收款工作的详细信息发送给许先生。

Ng会开车送Young到每个接送地点。

在那里，杨会向个人收取现金或其他物品。

之后，吴会开车送杨去另一个地方，把现金和贵重物品交给犯罪团伙成员。

一名身份不明的犯罪集团工作人员会接近杨，并向他出示一张带有特定序列号的钞票。

如果序列号与之前提供的序列号相符，杨就会把物品交给这位陌生人。

2025年5月和6月，杨从六名受害者身上搜集了价值超过110万美元的现金和贵重物品。

Koh 和 Ng 从这项计划中各自至少获得了 5000 美元的利润，而 Young 则获得了 700 美元。

所有物品均未追回。
