  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR - Singer Eric Moo, 63, is set to perform at Resorts World Sentosa Convention Centre in Singapore on January 3 for his concert \"Our Journey Through 40 Years.\" However, a fake Eric Moo was trying to scam a property agent, Yu Zhangcheng, 63, for a concert pass worth S$7,000 (approximately RM22,212). The scammer used Moo's name and profile picture, communicating with Zhangcheng through Facebook. Zhangcheng, who was also a former student of The Chinese High School in Singapore, suspected something was off and asked the impersonator about a future event related to Hwa Chong Institution. The scammer took time to reply and shifted the conversation to Moo's upcoming concert, offering Zhangcheng the expensive backstage ticket. Biz Trends, the concert organizer, denied any such ticket packages and advised people to purchase tickets only through official channels.",
