A 49-year-old man from Malaysia lost over RM20,000 (S$6,150) after falling victim to a sperm “lending” scam. He was lured by an online advertisement promising payment for sperm donation and subsequently scammed through fabricated contracts and false promises.
KUALA LUMPUR - A 49-year-old man lost over RM20,000 to a sperm “lending” scam after being lured by an online advertisement offering payment to sperm donors.
Subsequently, a person claiming to be a woman from Singapore named Chen contacted him on WhatsApp, falsely claiming that the sperm-lending scheme would involve sexual intercourse. Mr Lee’s troubles began when “Ms Chen” requested an initial payment of RM1,000 to a local bank account, claiming it was necessary to connect him with her lawyer. After the payment, the supposed lawyer sent Mr Lee a contract via WhatsApp, offering him RM1 million if he successfully helped Ms Chen conceive.
The lawyer then demanded an additional RM24,000 in “processing fees” before the RM300,000 could be deposited into Lee’s account, which he paid. It wasn’t until the lawyer requested another RM30,000 that Mr Lee realised he had been scammed.
