@gchee, definitely the same. I actually met up with the girl in Dec 2017, had a long conversation with her - from watches, to cars to careers. Then when she mentioned internet transfer, I told her no problem as long as it is sitting in my account. Long story short, deal did not go through. Having spent quite some time over coffee with her, I can share with you that she is a polished, well dressed, well spoken individual. Good with conversation, easy to talk to, and my goodness, stories on the fly. I asked about her husband, her mother, her father, and the lies that spewed up was instantaneous and without losing a beat.
I shared this information was also circulated heavily over whatsapp; believe a few friends managed to avoid getting cheated. Anyway, shit happens and if one is persistent enough (in this case, the scammers), will show some results. This is a small pool of WIS after all, so it was nice to see some concentrated efforts with victims and police together to bring this pair down.
Anyway, take away lesson from all - always money in hand (or in bank account) before passing over the goods.
