What is a Credit-for-Sex Scam?
In this scam, a stranger befriends her victim through social media platforms such as WeChat. The scammer talks the victim into buying them a purchase or gift card (e.g. Alipay Purchase Cards, iTunes cards, etc) in exchange for a meet-up, date or sexual favours.
- Social media sites and dating platforms are their hunting grounds
- Requests for payments through credits or shopping gift-cards
- Often pose as young, attractive women from overseas who offer their massage, escort or sexual services in exchange for credits or shopping gift-cards. Persistent in tempting you and sometimes bring in ‘managers’ to threaten you if you wish to end the transaction
- Be wary of people offering sex in exchange of gift-cards or shopping-credits
- Do not give personal details or receipts showing PINs to strangers you meet online
