Singapore | Singaporean actor Laurence Pang had always told himself to stay alert for scams, particularly online, but when he met a young Filipina woman called Mika on a dating website, he happily engaged in conversation with her.
Over the course of several months, Mika convinced Pang, who has appeared in popular sitcoms over a long career, to invest nearly $S40,000 ($48,060) of cryptocurrency into an e-commerce venture.
