Aileen Tan has local horror movie Confinement to thank for distracting her long enough and preventing her from falling for a scam.
The 57-year-old local actress disclosed on social media on Tuesday that she was watching the film, which stars Rebecca Lim and Cynthia Koh, in the cinema when she received a WhatsApp message purportedly from her husband, Hong Kong-born director Gerald Lee.
She wrote on Instagram that the scammer had asked her to transfer money to a bank in Hong Kong, but she did not pay attention to the message as she was watching the movie. Tan said she could not remember how to transfer money to an overseas bank account, so she replied to her “husband” that she would handle it later.“I thought it was strange,” she said. “My husband was obviously at work, so why was he suddenly so anxious to ask me to transfer money?”
