A former financial planner who allegedly cheated seven clients by forging documents and misrepresenting insurance policies has been charged in court, the police said yesterday.
The clients lost more than $22,000 in policy premiums that were already paid.
Stedtson Koh, 33, was charged with 14 offences. Seven charges were for cheating, and seven for forgery for the purpose of cheating.
Before 2013, Koh sold Prudential insurance savings plans to the seven clients while working at a major local bank.
In 2013, he left Prudential to join another insurance company, Manulife, as a financial planner.
Koh then contacted the same seven clients, and sold them investment-linked policies (ILPs) offered by his new company.
However, he misrepresented the policies to them, stating that the policy value of his customers’ existing savings plans from Prudential would be brought over to the Manulife ILPs, when this was not true.
As a cover-up, Koh forged various documents to create the impression that the policy values of their savings plans were transferred over to their new ILPs.
