Woman conned of $930k by ‘widower’ says scam nearly destroyed relationship with daughter She had lent money intended for her daughter’s overseas university education to the man she believed she would marry. 💵 https://stmp.sg/JyDB @stompteam   Full Details: Woman Conned of $930k by Fake ‘Widower’   A 54-year-old Singaporean woman lost over S$930,000 to a man who pretended to be a widower, a scam that nearly wrecked her bond with her daughter.   Who the scammer was   Jiang Junyi (also known as Kong Jun Yi Jonathan), 57, was actually a married fruit seller. He was jailed for 3 years and 7 months for the deception, theft and related offences.   How the scam unfolded   - They met online in October 2020; he was the first man she dated after divorcing 20 years prior. - He lied: claimed to be a company administrative director, his wife died of illness, and he was raising a 10-year-old son. He even detailed his wife’s illness/funeral and let her speak to the “son”. - They dated over a year, discussed marriage; he stayed weekdays at her place, saying he spent weekends with his son. - He repeatedly borrowed money with excuses: loan guarantor obligations, company cash flow needs, hospitalisation. He showed her a bank account he claimed was frozen to gain trust. - She lent him savings meant for her daughter’s overseas university tuition; her sister also lent funds saved for a child’s wedding. - He also took her gold jewellery (said to measure for a bridal gift set) and a Rolex watch (claimed to service together) — never returned. He also stole her sister’s gold and pawned it.   Devastating consequences   - Without the savings, she couldn’t pay tuition and had to take bank loans so her daughter could finish studying abroad. - Their relationship became severely strained; she suffered sleeplessness, relied on sleeping pills, and had suicidal thoughts — only holding on for her daughter. Her daughter also once contemplated suicide during the crisis. - She spent over $7,000 in legal fees but only recovered $2,000.   How the truth came out   - The turning point: he sent a photo claiming a colleague was in a traffic accident to explain not returning the watch; she found the image was fake online. - Investigations revealed his wife was alive — she realised she had been the unwitting “other woman”. He never apologised.   Her reflection   Six years later, she says she’s stronger for her daughter but no longer trusts romantic relationships. She learned to be more cautious and not be overly quick to help others financially.   🔗 https://stmp.sg/JyDB
