Long story short, a guy aggressively wants to connect with you (friendship/business), convincing you he is rich. He will then receive urgent call stating need to pay contractor some money, went to bank but atm card got stuck, needs you to help and will pay ASAP. You borrow/gave it to him and that's it.

This guy and his "wife" (more like an escort) moved in to our hostel and stayed for almost a month. He aggressively calls me "brother" and ask me out for yum cha few times, and one day i decided to go with it. He buys you a meal, keep telling his "credbile story", bought a house waiting to move in, bought a shop, going to buy AUDI, work as sunway civil consultant, loves photography and good lens and ETC.. in the middle of the conversation, he receives urgent call on site problem, need to head there and solve.
-Clue 1: the phone never actually ring
-Clue 2: he talks about he love photography but have no knowledge on F-stop or lens
Drive me to Standard Chartered bank, and park somewhere beside. After few mins come back talking on phone pretending to scold the operator that he wants to remove all his savings, fixed deposit if the card cannot be taken out today. Then he will story his card being eaten, saying quite urgent and ask if have money to borrow first. I fell for it, thought it was urgent and borrow him some of my savings.
-Clue 3: If you are rich, you won't only have one ATM card
He then drive to site, parked somewhere nearby and said will pay to contractor while he moved away and i was in the car. Shud have just drove his car away
-Clue 4: Never actually saw him went to somewhere credible
He then keep thanking me, say got fate we met, will treat me nice food and all BS stuff, the next day he borrowed some again because the atm card need 1 day to clear and need some money for personal/work use by now.
It was then later night i went dinner with my housemate and chat, only then we realize he borrowed from both of us with same story but diff bank, thus i was sceptical while thought that maybe his another ATM got stuck for real.
-Super strong evidence 1:Same story for Me and housemate
Went back home, and keep thinking back the past day events for hints. His car was parked in our rented house in a way nobody can block his exit (he paid for the owner to reserve a parking as well), seems like preparing for an exit. I was sleepless that night, asking house owner in a way to get answer whether the guy is moving out by this month but nope, owner is not notified. Because the deposit for 2months is quite a big amount, i never thought leaving without it was a good idea ( although the sum he borrowed from us is enough to cover the loss)
-Clue 5: Car was parked to exit easily
Sleepless me ,woke at 230am and realize his car still outside. At 730am, poof, car was gone. His and her wife's shoe all gone, hanging shirt all gone. Left was his room, i called my house owner to check and see whether his stuff is all gone. There was list where our house kept car plate number and name (in case blocking car park) was gone too. Called him and he deny on din leave the house, saying i am ridiculous thinking the left the house, i reassure him i will report police if i did not get my money by noon.
By 10am my owner confirmed me that his stuff was all gone and it was a con. Owner was conned too for paying the deposit with bounced cheque. Phone is cant be reached anymore and asked owner to provide IC name and details. To my suprise, a simple google yield 2 results, a similiar case (just few days before mine) and star news on duping women.
A same case of same CON person found in this post, just 1 day before
Same person CON
A warning by some1 for house renters
moral of the story: Don't borrow money to ppl you hardly know their full name, best of all, don't even borrow.
