Four men in Singapore are due in court over an alleged scheme to obtain more than S$6 million in mortgage loans using a homeowner’s property as collateral without his knowledge. The case highlights how forged identity documents and deception were allegedly used to pursue loans against someone else’s home.

Police said the owner discovered an unauthorised caveat on 3 April, prompting an investigation. The men, aged 27 to 39, were arrested on 14 and 15 April; allegations include impersonating the owner, luring him away while valuers accessed the property, and arranging a forged identity card. A fifth alleged accomplice remains untraced, and the four face charges carrying potential prison terms of up to 10 years.
