The date went well, and the woman even took his phone to search for places to have their next date.

According to Shin Min, the date went till 1am, and Chen ended up paying for the meal.

The woman then reportedly invited Chen to go to her house to continue the night, but when he went into a convenience store to buy snacks, she slipped away.

The woman also blocked him.

The man told Stomp that he grew suspicious and checked his financial accounts, where he noticed a RM2,800 (S$886) transfer from his Touch ‘n Go eWallet account.
