Credit-for-Sex Scam
Ok so i got to know this girl on Locanto. I contacted her through LINE for more info.

We agreed on $100 for 90mins of her service. She sent me an address ( choa chu kang avenue 4 block 305 ). I then arranged to meet her there that night at 11pm.

I then contacted her after i reached the location. She called me through LINE and told me that she is a student and wont have any work pass or permit and i will have to walk over to the opposite block AXS machine to buy $100 worth of Alipay credits to pay her as she didn't want any cash transactions for the first meeting.

So i did buy RMB$500 and keyed in the email address that she provided ( axs865@gMail.com ) . After which she told me that her friend would contact me and i just need to answer some security questions to confirm that i wasn't affiliated with the police.

Then a guy named “林正坤” called me and ask me for $800 security deposit and send a photo of my I/C front back to make sure I wasn't affiliated with the Police. He then called me again and asked for another $800 security deposit to make sure i wont harm or nab the girl. I managed to negotiate to $600. Again stupid me, i bought the credits again. He then again told me there was another “hotel deposit” $800 and it is non negotiable. I couldn't believe it but stupid me i did buy the $800 worth Of alipay credits which was RMB$4000.

He called me again and told me he needed another $2000 refundable deposit as their company account can only transfer at least $4000.

I have cleared all my savings and even had to borrow money from friends and family to pay for the deposits. I have no way that i can Buy $2000 worth of alipay credits anymore. I lost my temper with him and he threatened me that if i didnt pay the $2000 refund deposit. He would ask his “brothers” to come to my house and harass my family. He then gave me a deadline to make payments. In the end, I went to file a police report.  

I lost around $2100 to this scam.
