Love Scam victim loses RM1.98 million

Dear guys, please stay away from lovers who said they love you but they need your money. Think logically, do they love you or do they love your money in this case? If it has been a long term relationship, it’s quite safe but if someone you just got to know suddenly asked for money to redeem some gifts for you, please tell them to buy something new. Else ask them send you the Shopee link instead and you pay for them. In this case, you are happy to spend money to make them happy and at the same time, they will get the gift, so they should also be happy right?
