27 Singaporeans and seven Malaysians are wanted by the police for being part of a scam syndicate operating out of Cambodia. They are allegedly part of a gang that targets victims in Singapore through government official impersonation scams. The group is believed to be responsible for over 430 cases, involving losses of at least 41 million Singapore dollars. 

How do members of scam syndicates like this one get to know each other and how shocking is it that they use legitimate recruitment firms to get "new hires"? 

Daniel Martin learns more from Associate Professor Soh Kee Hean, Head, Certificate/Minor in Criminal Investigation, School of Humanities and Behavioural Sciences, Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS).
