Radio DJ’s public photos used in ‘catfishing’ scam

When One FM 91.3 DJ Simon Lim received a letter and a present in his studio, he was pleasantly surprised – until he realised the fan who had sent him the gifts had been on the verge of becoming the victim of a love scam and was nearly duped into parting with almost S$5,000 (RM15,300) in cash.

The Indonesian fan – 31-year-old Inayah Muhammad – had written to alert the Singapore Press Holdings radio DJ that a conman had stolen his identity and used his Instagram pictures to try and court her, with the motive to cheat.
