Woman loses RM380k in love scam


When love, turn sour: Lee showing a photo of a man on her phone whom she claims is Cheung. She said she befriended Cheung on Facebook in October last year.

JOHOR BARU: Despite being fleeced of RM380,000, a single mother is still pining for her online boyfriend whom she has never met.

The lovelorn woman, who only wanted to be known as Lee, said she sold her house to raise money for the boyfriend, whom she said had been detained by Customs Department after he supposedly tried to bring in RM800mil worth of gifts for her.
