The 36-year-old was picked up on Wednesday evening for overstaying, the police said in a statement yesterday.

Officers said they received reports that a man was offering computer hard disks at an electronics website, www.vr-zone.com. But after the victims forked out money, the disks never arrived.

Administrator of the online forum Evan Yeat said dozens of members placed orders for the hard disks, which were advertised for about $250, $100 less than the regular price.

The suspect is believed to have been staying with his girlfriend, a Singaporean, at her flat in Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2.

Police asked anyone who has placed orders for hard disks via the forum and did not receive them to make a police report immediately.
