Six women from Singapore, aged 30 to 60, lost over $100,000 in total to a man from Hong Kong who developed a relationship with his victims over Whatsapp., one of the victims, Lily , said that like the other women, she had received a Whatsapp message from the man who claimed to have just arrived in Singapore. He began the correspondence by saying how he was informed that she would be his personal translator during his trip.
After establishing a warm relationship with the women through constant contact, he would then lure them into a “money-making opportunity” through buying tokens on a crypto trading platform. He would get the women to download the virtual currency platform's application, then teach them how to transfer the tokens to a link he’d send to them. The link would take the women into another trading platform where they would register for an account and be able to use the virtual currency.
