The Serial Swindler
A rich Korean heir, a budding entrepreneur, a shrewd investor and a passionate lover.
These are some of the many roles Jerald Low played throughout his criminal career.
The 27-year-old is arguably Singapore's most prolific serial scammer, his crimes ranging from investments, property and love scams to telco fraud. By the time he was arrested, Low had almost S$100,000 in his pocket, charming his victims into believing that he came from a wealthy family with unrealised ambitions and that he was looking for a soulmate. Except, the truth couldn’t be further.
The Serial Swindler is a two-part CNA original podcast which examines: How does an ordinary person convince so many people to believe his audacious lies? And what makes a serial con-artist tick? An original series adapted from the CNA documentary "Catching A Scammer: Singapore's Serial Swindler".
