A 31-year-old Indian-origin man in Singapore has been sentenced to 2 years in prison for cheating a 25-year-old woman he met on Carousell (Singaporean e-commerce company) out of over S$268,000 (around Rs 1.6 crore) over seven months.
The man was identified as Thevendran, who led the woman to believe they had a genuine friendship while repeatedly asking her for money for various reasons. He claimed he needed funds for a court case, bail, dental bills, and other expenses. In reality, he used the money to fund his gambling habit, reports the Mothership.
