Zeta Darwisyah Jefry, 23, scammed six people of over $2,700 between December 2023 and March. She also cheated someone into giving her a concert ticket, for which she did not pay.

Zeta was sentenced to seven months' jail on Nov 22 after pleading guilty to two counts of cheating and one count of criminal breach of trust.

Five other charges of cheating and one charge under the Computer Misuse Act were taken into consideration for her sentencing.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Sunil Nair said Zeta had cheated others as she wanted to "earn fast cash".

On Dec 27, 2023, a 27-year-old woman was searching a Telegram group chat for concert tickets when she was contacted by Zeta, who introduced herself as "Nuryn Shahirah".

Zeta claimed she was employed by ticketing services provider Ticketmaster and could get tickets for the victim. Court documents did not state which concert this was for.
