Aileen Tan has the horror movie Confinement to thank for distracting her long enough and preventing her from falling for a scam.

The 57-year-old Singaporean actress disclosed on social media on Tuesday (Oct 31) that she was watching the film, which stars Rebecca Lim and Cynthia Koh, in the cinema when she received a WhatsApp message purportedly from her husband, Hong Kong-born director Gerald Lee.
