MANILA (The Straits Times/ANN): In a plot twist worthy of a drama series, a veteran Singaporean actor fell for an online charmer who later turned out to be more of a con artist than his next romantic lead.
Laurence Pang, 78, lost nearly 1.5 million pesos (S$35,000 - RM116,000) after he was duped by “Mika”, a woman he met on a dating site, into investing his money in an online business scam in the Philippines.
