Internet Love Scam
Met a guy on cmb app (profile in traditional chinese), said he was from hk and visiting his relatives in sg, family is doing small f&b, hotel related business. whatsapp image is a cat.

initial conversation was normal. alarm bells rang when he started talking passionately about china lottery and wants to walk you through the process. Will ask you to download an app through internet (iphone users please only download from app store) and create account. declined as i was suspicious of clicking anything through links sent by un-familiar people. he said okay but did not continue chat.

i did an image search and matched one of the image to a chinese model. details did not match, fake account, reported on Cmb.

no money was lost. be careful. NO IDEA WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF CLICK AND CREATE ACCOUNT.
