A Christchurch International student has been scammed out of more than $30,000 after a man tricked her into believing they were dating and encouraged her to hand over cash for him to invest in cryptocurrency.
The woman, 28-year-old Christine, thought she had found her match when a handsome man began speaking to her on Facebook in February this year.
Christine said he also claimed to be Chinese, and told her he was a busy, hard-working finance worker that didn t have time for a real girlfriend and was scared he d end up alone.
