  SINGAPORE: A man who allegedly claimed he was kidnapped in Manila so he could cheat a colleague into transferring money for his so-called ransom was charged on Thursday in court.
  
  Thirty-two-year-old funeral assistant Tay Beng Guan is believed to have told Simon Koh Eng Hock that he was being held captive in the Philippines and that his supposed kidnappers would harm him if their demands were not met.
  
  Tay allegedly duped Mr Koh into transferring S$3,000 dollars into his bank account on August 30.
  
  It's believed he fooled Mr Koh into transferring another S$1,500 into the bank account by using the same ruse six days later.
  
  Tay also allegedly got his colleague to transfer an additional S$50 on September 2 by claiming that he did not have enough money to make a phone call.
  
  Tay, who was offered a bail of S$10,000, will be back in court next Thursday.
  
  If convicted of cheating, he could be jailed up to 10 years and fined for each charge of the three charges.
