<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> SALES executive Foo Su Ling was jailed for nine months on Thursday, which is her birthday. The 22-year-old conspired with her boyfriend to pocket more than $11,260 from victims who thought they were ordering clothing and accessories through an Internet, which turned out to be a scam. A district court heard that the duo conned more than 128 people within a month. The boyfriend Chew Kiew Cheng, 30,was jailed for two years in February last year. Unemployed in 2007, he and Foo set up a website advertising cheap clothes and accessories targeted at teenagers. They promised delivery within three to four weeks after payment but never did. Deputy Public Prosecutor Tan Jeh Yaw said that Internet transactions are gaining in popularity and a deterrent sentence was warranted to restore confidence in the electronic payment system. She could be jailed for up to three years and/or fined up to $10,000 on each of the eight charges she pleaded guilty to.
