Ah_Zai 3rd Gear February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 They are really really dumb. http://www.todayonline.com/singapore/two-men-jailed-roles-counterfeit-money-scheme SINGAPORE — Two men were today (Feb 3) jailed three years each by the district court for their roles in a counterfeit money scheme. They are the final two to be sentenced, following four others who have already been dealt with. Odd-job workers Adi Soffian Bakhtiar Effendi and Fauzi Mohammad — both 22 years old — admitted to being accomplices in the scheme to forge and use 24 fake S$1,000 notes. The scheme was hatched by Abdul Adziz Asmon, then an operations assistant with marine service agency Nautical Trade, who was eventually jailed six years and seven months in October last year. The court heard that in 2012, the six involved in the scheme tried to create the fake notes using a scanner, transparencies, paper and eggs. The egg white was spread onto the counterfeit notes to give them a crisp texture, mimicking that of real Singapore currency. The tasks were divided among the six involved. As for the pair sentenced today, Adi scanned the genuine currency notes and printed the counterfeit ones, while Fauzi used a paper cutter to cut the fake notes to the correct size. The notes were forged at a chalet in Costa Sands Resort at Jalan Loyang Besar. The crime was discovered when Abdul Aziz used the fakes when handing S$30,000 to a supplier, who eventually called Nautical Trade to complain. The pair could have been jailed up to 20 years and fined for the offences. CHANNEL NEWSASIA ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watwheels Supersonic February 4, 2014 Share February 4, 2014 (edited) Wah lau... want to fake also fake smaller denomination lah.. really naive.. Smaller notes are made out of polymer, not so easy to fake bah. Unless $50 or $100 notes. But for lazy ppl it may seem like it will take forever to make a quick buck.

Jman888 Moderator September 4, 2017 Share September 4, 2017 $1 million of $2 counterfeit note? need how many briefcase to carry? Two men arrested for using counterfeit notes totalling more than $1 mil for business deal PUBLISHED 22 MIN AGO Counterfeit notes recovered from the two men after they were arrested at Woodlands Checkpoint on Sept 2, 2017.PHOTO: SINGAPORE SINGAPORE - Two men were arrested for being involved in a scheme to use counterfeit notes in the purchase of a vessel. In a statement on Sunday (Sept 3), the police said that they had arrested two men aged 36 and 39 who are believed to be caught up in a case of commercial crime involving more than S$1 million. On Sept 2, the seller in France, who was about to close the sale of the vessel, discovered that the deposit he received was in counterfeit notes. At that time, the two men were in Singapore to collect a sales commission for the sale of the vessel. The victim informed the Singapore office to stop the sales commission, but by then, the two men had left with the commission of about S$1.5 million. A police report was made. Officers from Clementi Police Division worked with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) to arrest the duo at Woodlands Checkpoint, less than three hours of the case being reported. More than S$400,000 was recovered from the two men. They will be charged in court today (Sept 4) for cheating with common intention. If convicted, they may be jailed up to ten years each and fined.
