A man in the Philippines lost P100,000 to a "love scam" where a dating app acquaintance lured him into a fraudulent cryptocurrency investment scheme.

The scammer, posing as a Singaporean, manipulated his emotions to gain his trust before demanding increasingly large sums of money.

Be extremely cautious of online relationships involving unsolicited investment offers and never download apps or provide personal information to unknown individuals.
