Saniyah Kumari, an administrative coordinator and receptionist, pleaded guilty to six counts of a total of 13 charges against her in a district court.
The court on Wednesday heard that she befriended a person on a social networking website in September 2012 who identified himself as Steve Smith.
Smith claimed to be an American stationed in Sarawak, Malaysia, for a construction project.
Despite having known Steve Smith online for a short period of time, Kumari agreed to receive money for him into her bank account and then transfer the money to an unknown person in Singapore, according to a report by The Straits Times.
Kumari was allowed to keep SGD 4,139 as a commission for receiving and transmitting the funds.
