冒充建屋局承包商、骗取装修订金 男子被判坐牢半年
涉嫌假扮建屋发展局承包商,到组屋向居民骗取装修订金,一名男子最终被判坐牢半年、罚款2400元。
有关中年男子名为刘加里(译音),早前本社报导,在去年3月至今年3月,13个月期间警方接到多起投报,指有关男子假冒建屋局承包商,骗居民组屋要进行维修,因此向他们收取100元到300元不等的订金。
当时警方文告指出,经调查嫌犯并没有受到建屋局委托进行工程,超过10余人被骗,涉及金额高达1700元。
勿洛警署警员是在今年4月1日确认了这位56岁嫌犯身份后,展开逮捕。
刘加里面对多达18项、包括欺诈、蓄意伤人和抵触防止骚扰法令等控状。控方择其中六项提控,其余交法官酌情。
被居民识破伎俩
此前,也有网民分享遭遇嫌犯上门游说,并识破其伎俩的经过。嫌犯在今年3月23日拜访名为罗锺柏(Low Chong Bak译音)的网民,嫌犯指他获“建屋局”批准,可以帮居民维修天花板,但问起来自什么机构,对方又不答。
后来嫌犯还接触其邻居,罗锺柏认为有必要提醒邻居,结果惹怒嫌犯,叫后者不要多管闲事,甚至用粗口辱骂网民和其年迈的母亲;居民甚至被吐口水。
