SINGAPORE — After coming across stolen credit card details that were circulating in a Telegram chat group, Muhammad Syawal Kamis used the information to take multiple taxi rides without paying for them out of his own pocket.

The 32-year-old also used more stolen card details to place several orders from fast food chain Burger King and buy empty cartons from a retailer.He pleaded guilty to three cheating charges, with two others — including refusing to sign a police statement — taken into consideration for sentencing.

He charged 34 rides worth S$562.91 to the credit card between Nov 21 and Dec 23, 2020, doing this until an error message popped up in his account.Separately, he used stolen details from several foreign credit cards to make food orders. He did this by similarly linking the cards to his Burger King account and delivering some of the orders to his residential address.

Then, in March 2021, Syawal linked more stolen credit cards from the same Telegram chat group to his Shopify account. He proceeded to make payment of S$28 to Jaguar 3R Ventures for two empty cartons. Syawal, who teared up a few times in court, said through an interpreter that he is currently married in Indonesia with a two-year-old daughter. He also promised not to re-offend in Singapore again.
