A local woman in her twenties took a video of herself topless and lost 280,000 yuan (334,260 patacas) in a phone scam to a man who claimed to be a mainland police officer, a Judiciary Police (PJ) spokesperson said during a regular press conference yesterday.
The case also involved a fake kidnapping.
According to the spokesperson, the victim received a call on Sunday from a man who claimed to be a police officer in the mainland, saying that she had committed a serious crime and was wanted by the mainland police. The “cop” added that she would be sentenced to life imprisonment or even capital punishment if she did not follow his instructions.
