SINGAPORE — When she was working at stationery manufacturer Nippecraft, she would often make travel bookings and order food on the Foodpanda mobile application for her boss.
But when Lin Qian Dai Lin left the firm, she did not delete the other woman’s credit card details from the app on her mobile phone.
After she inadvertently ordered food with her former boss’s card and got away with it, she continued to take advantage of the lapse, placing S$2,285 worth of orders before she was caught.
On Tuesday (Jan 12), Lin was sentenced to five months’ jail.
The 41-year-old Singaporean woman pleaded guilty to one count of cheating the former chief executive officer of Nippecraft on 73 occasions between July 13 and Sept 7 in 2019.
The court heard that Lin worked at Nippecraft as the victim’s personal assistant from April 2017 to February 2018. As part of her duties, she made official and personal purchases for the other woman using her credit card details
Because of this, Lin stored the details in the Foodpanda app on her own mobile phone.
Lin left the company in February 2018.
More than a year had gone by when Lin ordered some food from fast-food chain Burger King via Foodpanda and accidentally selected her former boss’s credit card as a payment mode.
When she realised her own credit card had not been charged and the act went unnoticed, Lin became “greedy” and charged her orders to the card repeatedly, Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Rebecca Wong told the court.
She ordered food and beverages from many places. For instance, she once spent S$174.99 in a single order from Soon Lee Heng Fresh Fruits in Clementi West.
The victim eventually made a police report on Oct 19, 2019, saying that she had detected multiple unauthorised transactions with Foodpanda even though she still had her credit card.
