Investment Scam
So i was using tantan and this guy matched, so he went on to say that he is from taiwan and come singapore to work for uncle. So he will try to chit chat to gain your trust and after a while tell you that he is doing some cyptocurrency trade that he is earning lots in a day. sending screenshots of profits and whatsapp call to explain. eventually asking if you wanted to play by putting in minimum $500 for as start in a web call huobi. I found him quite suspicious and tried googling about this sort of scams and there's one similar story.

luckily i am cautious and not giving money and personal information online, ESPECIALLY to those that did not meet in real life. no money was lost and i've reported to the app and banned him.
