Internet Love Scam
CAME ACROSS the same scammer on CMB in late dec 2019, WENT by the name of jason chan or jason wong. said he's in architecture, is based in moscow, adopted by russians at age 3 and plans to open co. in singapore once license approved (red flag 1). gave sob story of having no friends he can trust except for a foster dad in nursing home (red flag 2), wrote extremely long messages showering & professing love too quickly (red Flag 3). tries too hard to earn your attention and trust.

the final straw came when he's called to indonesia all of a sudden as a building he erected COLLAPSED, was beaten up by locals and needed to pay eur50,0000 in compensation. His bank account was frozen, managed to borrow some money from his lawyer and needed help to make up the remaining 6k eur within 48h or face jail charge. A complete nonsense.

Have since blocked his contact & saw others reporting the same story here for around the same period. raising awareness that this scammer is still at large on cmb!!
