The Vietnamese tourist, who tearfully begged the infamous Mobile Air to return his money after being overcharged, showed that he has more backbone than Mobile Air's owner Jover Chew.

Pham Van Thoai rejected the iPhone 6 offered to him by Gabriel Kang, who started a fundraising campaign that raised some S$15,500 , saying that it was "not right" to accept it.

The 30-year-old factory worker only accepted local food items such as kaya and bak kwa.

Consumers Association of Singapore and the police only partially recovered $400. A local businessman gave him the $550 he had lost on the deal. Thoai added that he didn't want more than what he lost.

In stark contrast, Jover Chew is still in hiding after the news broke while the two women in his life were left to pick up the pieces. His mother was in tears when Shin Min Daily spoke to her and details of his wife's identity were circulating online.

To add more shame to his name, he even had the temerity to divert phone calls to a The New Paper reporter after mega troll, SMRT Ltd (Feedback), released his phone number online.

Gone were the days when he repaid one of his scammed customers in coins and made Pham beg in tears.

What happened there? Can't even man up and face the music?
