A total of 20 men have been fined for flouting safe distancing rules after they fell prey to credit-for-sex scams — a double whammy for their wallets.
The Singapore Police Force (SPF) received multiple reports of credit-for-sex scams between April 18 and April 29, of which there were at least 20 male victims. The age of the victims ranged from 18 to 52.
According to SPF, the victims left their residences for non-essential activities such as procuring sexual services by purchasing gift cards or use AXS machines during the circuit breaker period.
Most cases involved the victims falling for the scammers through apps such as WeChat, Tinder and MiChat as well as various websites including Locanto and Skokka.
The scammers enticed the victims with sexual services in exchange for AliPay credits (which can be bought via AXS machines) and iTunes or Google Play gift card redemption codes before becoming uncontactable once the transactions were made.
