A Malaysian man was charged on Friday with six counts of deceiving four women into parting with a total of $55,000 in an Internet scam.
Peter Aw Boo Cheong , 40, a horse racing manager, allegedly cheated the women of between $5,000 and $25,000 each by making them believe that he would help them place their money on a horse race which he knew was false.
