Credit-for-Sex Scam
1. Found online advertisement that provide service, there's line id for contact purpose, contacted "芸儿" via line. after everything, decided to meet up for S$150 service but she said her brother "阿坤" will call and ask some question when she is on the way to pick me up. he said since this is the first time, we would want the payment to be made via alipay. request to make 1000 rmb (~S$200) and will reimburse S$50 when she met me. After made the transfer, he called me again via line and told me to pay for "protection fees" of S$1200. and I said I didn't have so much, I only could pay S$200. He said to pay, which I did. After that , he kept on calling me to chase for the balance of $1,000. I didn't know why I didn't spot the scam earlier:
