Former K-pop idol Mina from girl group AOA has claimed she was scammed while working in a chatroom for lonely men.
“I searched for work-from-home jobs and a part-time ‘chatting’ job popped up. So I thought it was just talking to people. If a guy opens a chatroom, the girl would enter that room and just talk with him,” she said in the interview. When she attempted to exchange the coins with the company, however, it requested that she sent in funds to facilitate the exchange.
When she realised it was a scam, the company then blackmailed her with a photo of her legs that she had sent in a chat and also threatened to expose her chats.
