Multiple police reports have been filed against a former part-time actor who allegedly borrowed up to $500,000 from various people and has failed to pay them back.
Back in 2013, it was reported by Shin Min Daily News that the man, referred to as A, had borrowed money from several Mediacorp and Hong Kong actors, allegedly amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
He reportedly did not pay them back and subsequently disappeared.
The Chinese daily has now reported that A has since resumed his borrowing habits, and at least six people have reported him to the police so far for being owed around $500,000.
Claimed he was scammed, deposits for tour group
One of his alleged victims, a housewife in her 50s surnamed Chen, told Shin Min she has lent him over $50,000.
She met A at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in 2022 through a friend, where he introduced himself as a tour guide agent.
