KOTA KINABALU: Talk of marriage and a vow to fight all obstacles together cost a woman more than RM150,000 in losses following a cheating case in the city.

The woman, who only wanted to be identified as Ting, 27, had matched with someone who called himself"Chin" through a chat and social media app about three years ago.Throughout their online relationship, Chin, who said he was 39, managed to trick her into believing that he needed money for cancer treatment and other financial woes that he needed help with.

She said after confirming his identity and confronting him, she had started asking for her money back. “Some of the money was from my savings while some, I borrowed from family and friends,” she said, adding that she had found out there were other victims of the same scammer. Chin had told him that some of the investments were making losses and that he needed to top up more cash for it to stay afloat, and later also claimed to need money for medical treatment and surgery.
