Police have arrested a 28-year-old Chinese man and his 19-year-old girlfriend on suspicion of cheating over 40 online shoppers of almost $10,000.

Between 19 Sep 07 and 18 Oct 07, Police received reports from more than 40 victims who had transferred money to the suspects for goods purchased over the internet from 'nice-spree.blogspot.com and nicespree.blogspot.com'. The goods were not delivered even though money had been transferred. The victims were also unable to contact the suspects.

The suspects were traced and an ambush laid. A computer and a handphone were been seized for investigations from the man's residence at Tampines.

Commander Bedok Police Division, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Lim Kok Thai said, “ Let this be a strong signal to would-be criminals that police take a very serious view of such offences and will go all out to apprehend those that break the law. In addition, Police remind members of public to be cautious when making purchases online."

Police urge anyone who had bought items from the 2 websites and are facing a similar predicament to call the Police hotline at 1800-255 0000.

The suspects will be charged in court on 25 Oct 07 for the offence of Cheating under Sec 420 of the Penal Code, Cap 224. If convicted, both suspects faces a jail term of up to 7 years.
