Man posed as woman, secretly filmed sexual encounters, linked to HIV scare
Nanjing hospitals offer free HIV tests after 'Sister Hong' impersonator's arrest. Jiao, disguised as a lonely housewife, lured men to his apartment where hidden cameras secretly recorded their encounters. Photo source - Instagram SHAH ALAM – A shocking scandal involving deep deception, sexual exploitation and public health risks is exploding online in China, proving to be far more serious than just viral drama. The real-life 'Sister Hong' case is trending across Chinese social media, causing widespread anxiety about privacy and digital consent. Jiao's elaborate disguise included wigs, makeup, dresses, voice changers and beauty filters. (Photo source: Instagram) It turns out, Sister Hong isn't a "sister" at all. He is Jiao, a 38-year-old man from Nanjing who allegedly disguised himself as a married woman to deceive men into sexual encounters, secretly recording them without their knowledge. This was no simple catfish situation. Jiao reportedly used wigs, makeup, dresses, voice changers and beauty filters. He posed as a lonely housewife seeking flings, inviting men to his apartment where hidden cameras were already rolling. This wasn't just catfishing; it was an alleged digital crime ring. Instead of charging for sex, Jiao would ask for small gifts like milk, fruit and cooking oil. Behind the scenes, he was building a massive collection of hidden-camera videos, uploading them to a paid, private group chat. Access cost 150 yuan (approximately RM88), providing users with hundreds of non-consensual clips. The scandal erupted in early July 2025 when one of the men in the leaked videos was identified by internet users. After his fiancée found out, she immediately cancelled their engagement. Jiao was arrested on July 5 and charged with the illegal distribution of obscene materials and invasion of privacy. Meanwhile, media outlets reported that popular TV host Lu Zihao publicly claimed that at least three men who had encounters with 'Sister Hong' later tested positive for HIV. One woman even allegedly discovered her husband was exposed after seeing his test result, leading her to realise he might have been one of Jiao's victims. As a result, hospitals in Nanjing are now offering free HIV tests to anyone who may have been involved or exposed. More Like This

Photo for illustration purposes only. — Photo from Max Pixel SIBU (July 17): A man in his 50s here lost RM88,233 of his hard-earned savings after falling victim to a bogus online investment scheme. Sibu police chief ACP Zulkipli Suhaili said the victim lodged a report yesterday after realising he had been duped. 'The victim was added to a WhatsApp group named 'Group VIP' on April 11. 'In the group, a woman identified as 'Ruth Khoo' invited him to join a so-called lucrative stock investment opportunity,' he said in a statement today. Lured by the convincing discussions within the group, the man proceeded to make six deposits amounting to RM88,233 into three different local bank accounts. 'After his first transfer, he was told he had already made a profit. 'However, he was then asked to make additional payment, supposedly for taxes to Bank Negara Malaysia and the government in order to withdraw his returns,' said Zulkipli. The man never received any profit from the scheme. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. Zulkipli reminded members of the public to be vigilant and verify the legitimacy of any investment offer before parting with their money. 'We urge the public to check with official platforms such as the Bank Negara Malaysia website, the Securities Commission, or use the Investment Checker app,' he said.

Sibu man duped out of RM88,000 in fake investment scheme
SIBU: A man in his 50s lost RM88,233 after being lured by promises of high returns in a bogus share investment scheme. Sibu OCPD Asst Comm Zulkipli Suhaili said the district's Commercial Crime Investigation Division received a report on Wednesday (July 16). The victim claimed he was deceived into transferring funds to several bank accounts. 'Initial investigations found that the victim joined a WhatsApp group called 'VIP Group' on April 11, and was later contacted by a woman who identified herself as Ruth Khoo,' he said in a statement on Thursday (July 17). The suspect then introduced the victim to a share investment opportunity offering high returns. The victim saw other participants in the group chat talking about "profits" that they had received and was convinced to invest, ACP Zulkipli said. The victim was then told to contact the scheme's "customer service department" for further information and subsequently made six transfers totalling RM88,233 into three different local bank accounts, he added. After the first transfer of RM1,000, he was told that he had earned a profit. However, he was told to make additional payments for "tax purposes" before he could retrieve his gains. 'To date, the victim has not received any returns from the so-called investment and believes he has been defrauded,' ACP Zulkipli added. Police have opened an investigation under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating, he said.
