Conman gets sex and cash from unsuspecting women

The hunk is the "face" of a conman and rapist (right) who pretended to be the hunk's cancer-stricken father to get the girls to have sex with him and part with their cash.

The 55-year-old conman-cum-Casanova impersonated two characters - a good-looking son and his father - to cheat the women of sex and money. More than 20 women in Taiwan, aged between 28 and 50, had sex with him and have been swindled of at least TW$200mil (RM21mil).

Taiwan’s The Liberty Times reported that the suspect had posted his portfolios at dating websites using photos of handsome hunks he copied from the Internet and used various nicknames like An Hua, An Ger, Xiexie, Mo Fan, Huai Yi, Maomao and White.

Using the hunk as his "face", the suspect would sweet talk and lure the women into believing that he was their “ideal husband” who had a rich father.

When the women were hooked, he would tell them that his father was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had only six months to live.

He would then persuade the women to take care of his father while he went overseas - either to take care of his mother who was undergoing cancer treatment or to work.

He convinced the women to massage the testicles of his father which would prolong his life. He also told them that he would marry them if they “made his father contented”.

When the women agreed, the man would wait for them at his hotel suite. This time, he would impersonate as the hunk's father.

He had sex with the women and sometimes even inserted fruits or ice cubes into their private parts.

He also took nude photographs of the women and used the photos to threaten them when they refused to meet him again.

When the suspect was arrested, police found some 500 photographs in his cellphone.

When he encountered rich women, the suspect would tell them he had made a fortune in the share market nad persuaded the women to him allow him to invest their money.

He also asked them to buy him presents. Among the gifts he received were a TW$6mil (RM628,630) Porsche sports car and a TW$7.8mil (RM817,220) diamond watch.

Police said the man was wanted for several criminal cases including cheating and falsifying documents.

Taiwan police began their investigations into the Casanova-conman following a rape report lodged against him in August.

They found that the suspect would invite six to eight women to his presidential suite at a five-star hotel a night during the weekends.

He was arrested by police upon checking out of a five-star hotel last Saturday.

The woman who was with the man at that time broke down and cried when she found out that she had been conned.

She told police that she had given over TW$100,000 (RM10,480) to the suspect over the past week and had sex with him.

TM users can opt to have details removed from directory

WE REFER to “Charges imposed for services not wanted” (The Star, Aug 4).

Telekom Malaysia ™ has recently begun a directory confirmation exercise for its Homeline customers under which customers have the option of having their details that include names, address and fixed telephone numbers listed on or removed from the TM directory service.
We have recently issued letters to customers seeking confirmation of their agreement for TM to disclose their details via TM directory services, such as TM White Pages Directory and 103 directory assistance service.
Under this exercise, TM Homeline customers who wish to remove their details from the TM directory service are requested to fill up a form sent by TM or downloaded from TM’s corporate website at www.tm.com.my.
Customers can also visit the nearest TMpoint outlet to obtain the form.
Subscribers of TM’s X-Directory service will also have to fill up the form if they wish to remain unlisted.
However, customers who wish to remain listed in the TM directory do not need to respond.
TM wishes to clarify that we are placing more emphasis on customers who choose not to publish their details as most of our existing customers are already listed in TM’s directory.
As such, we are only requesting those who prefer not to disclose their details to respond, as they number fewer than those currently listed.
Also, the requirement for an annual fee of RM25 to keep information private, which was communicated through our earlier mailers and bill inserts, has been waived.
Customers can submit the form to TM at the nearest TMpoint outlet, or via post addressed to Telekom Malaysia Bhd, Level

16, TM Annexe 2, Jalan Pantai
Baharu, 50672 Kuala Lumpur
or via e-mail to tmxd@tm.com.my
GROUP CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS,

Telekom Malaysia.

they gonna charge us annually RM25 for those that have asked them to private the details...
seems they charge us RM10 annually for publish our details...

it seems they waive the fee for first time only?or after that they will start charging us for service we don't even need?

TM gonna earn millions from this yearly.
