A man in Singapore was sentenced to two years and four months in jail for cheating his wife's boyfriend of S$220,000 through a fake property investment scheme. Eric Ong Chee Wei, who has repaid $10,000 to the victim, was also ordered to compensate $210,000. His wife, Felicia Tay Bee Ling, received a two-year jail term. Ong and Tay pleaded guilty to cheating charges in June. They are set to start serving their sentences on Aug 18.
Ong and Tay deceived the victim into paying 'security deposits' for non-existent condominium units. Tan realized the scam when he received no returns on his investments. The offenders were arrested in June 2022 after Tan reported the incident to the police.
