Reporter Huang Yiting / comprehensive report

Female netizen Xiaolan (pseudonym) met a 28-year-old man who claimed to be an overseas Chinese in Singapore through the Internet. The photo of the other party looked very similar to the artist Wu Zun. I wanted to see her, so I immediately booked a flight to Singapore on the Dragon Boat Festival. The round trip totaled more than 60,000 yuan. I didn’t expect to be yelled at, “Is there something wrong with you? Why are you here?” Finally, she was blocked by hanging up the phone. Had to change the ticket overnight and return to Taiwan in embarrassment.

I hope to remind everyone to be careful of the trap of making friends online through my own experience. Don’t be foolish and crazy about love like her. She met a friend through the Facebook community. A 28-year-old man who claims to be an overseas Chinese in Singapore. The other party works in the financial industry. He has a handsome photo and looks like artist Wu Zun. He chats with her every day, talks about his thoughts, and listens to her complaining about being scolded by the supervisor. He is very gentle.

Xiaolan mentioned that after chatting for about 2 weeks, the man suddenly proposed dating. In order to convince her that it was not a scam, he also took the initiative to call. The voice sounded very mature and stable. She thought she met true love and agreed. “Po”, the relationship between the two continued to heat up, and from the day they dated, the other party always said that he wanted to see her, hoped that she would be by his side, etc., “I decided to go to Singapore to find him, and I wanted to give He was a surprise.”

Xiaolan plucked up her courage and decided to go abroad to pursue her love. Even though the flight ticket for the Dragon Boat Festival was very expensive, she immediately booked a ticket to Singapore. During the process, she only told her boyfriend that she would go to him to play, and the other party happily replied that she wanted to meet soon , the two also discussed whether to bring some Taiwanese souvenirs, because her boyfriend claimed that he doesn’t like sweets, so she bought Taiwan’s special stationery, “I also asked him first if he had anything to do in the afternoon on June 22? He replied to me I don’t have any special itinerary, so I’m relieved. But I didn’t tell him that I was going that day, and I planned to surprise him!”

However, Xiaolan happily arrived in Singapore. After changing her network card, she first took a taxi to the Merlion Park in the city. After finishing her makeup, she took a beautiful photo. After waiting for 10 minutes, her boyfriend did not respond, and the message was still unread for half an hour. She felt a little flustered, so she called Facebook’s message number, and after a while, a woman picked up the phone. She was shocked and hung up. After a while, her boyfriend called back, and immediately yelled, “You are here. Are you kidding?” “I thought you were just talking, what’s wrong with you? Why are you here? I didn’t say I wanted to see you! Crazy.”

Xiaolan said sadly that she was dumbfounded on the spot, and was hung up and blocked. When she came back to her senses, she realized that the sweetness of the past period was fake. , I want to say that I finally made a foreign boyfriend and got out of the order smoothly, and even reluctantly spent more than 30,000 yuan to buy super expensive air tickets (a total of 62,672 yuan round trip), but I didn’t expect to change the ticket overnight to return to Taiwan in embarrassment. What is it? What’s wrong?”

There will always be one or two stupid things happen, just treat it as a life experience, safety is the most important”, “At least you are not deceived by him What, but you really don’t need to believe it is true on the Internet, remember to read more news.”

Some enthusiastic netizens also reminded that in order to increase the sense of trust and authenticity of this type of emotional fraud, they will use voice changers to directly call the victim. The person responsible for typing and chatting is different from the person who makes the phone call, but they will never make video calls. Of course, photos , Personal data are all fake, wait until the victim is sure to take the bait after chatting for a period of time, will start to cheat investment with rhetoric, if doubted, the other party may resort to pretending to be angry or emotional blackmail to force the victim Give money, if you can’t hold on, you will be fooled.

The netizen went on to say, “A friend of a friend was really cheated and invested a lot of money. He was cheated into saying that he wanted to get back the investment money and had to pay a handling fee. As a result, the other party disappeared after getting the handling fee. There are also I have heard of some other cases, regardless of gender, young or old, may be cheated, please be careful when making friends online!”
