INGAPORE - A 34-year-old woman was asked to transfer about S$14,000 to someone's bank account to secure the release of a friend she met on a dating website.
But sensing something was amiss, the woman called the police to check and found out it was a scam.
Both the police and the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority do not require the transfer of monies into bank accounts for the release of any person being detained.
