RM29,000 poorer: Tan with Chong at the press conference in Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: A fitness instructor was cheated of RM29,000 after falling for the charm of an apparently exotic, mixed blood Casanova whom she met on a mobile messaging app.

The woman, who wished to be known only as Tan, 27, said she got to know the guy, who claimed to be of Portuguese and Arabian heritage, in June last year.
