Malaysian lady scams U.S athlete of $1.2m, using fake investments in Nigerian oil A 59-year-old Malaysian-born con-artist has been sentenced to 51 months in an American prison after pleading guilty to identify theft and fraud. . Washington Post reported that Cheah Siew Im was sentenced to jail on Oct 4 in Alexandria, Virginia, after having been arrested in 2017. . According to the report, Cheah had stolen the identities of at least six people, including past roommates. She would then use those identities for scams. . "She convinced professional athletes and successful executives she was the granddaughter of Singapore’s first prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, and a close friend of former US President Barack Obama. . The money they gave her for supposed investments in Nigerian oil and Washington sports teams they now believe she spent on high-end cars, plastic surgery and designer handbags," the report said. . According to court records, her victims included a chef, trainer and several manicurists, among others. . One federal prosecutor described her in court as "a one-woman crime spree." Another, in a sentencing motion, said she "has perfected the art of identity theft." . Victims described a mix of anger and awe at Cheah's near-mystical powers of persuasion. She scammed a Washington Redskins player and his agent out of $1.2m. Gist from Gistmore http://gistmore.com/malaysian-lady-scams-u-s-athlete-of-1-2m-using-fake-investments-in-nigerian-oil
