This guy is the WORST con artist of all… The hotels who allow him to constantly stay there should be sued. He stays at the Peninsula , Four Seasons Hotel, Marco Polo Hotel and others when he’s run out of money.
Be careful. He has a whole racket going on. The phone calls that he has are from other women who have also been conned.
One of his favourite cons is to ask victims to pay on his behalf which he promises to repay later on but will never happen. He has been known to ask victims to pay for his stays in hotels and even rent apartments on his behalf. There is a known case where someone rented an apartment in their own name for him. He moved in and refused to leave. That person has been stuck with massive rent and legal fees.
The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel sued him with regards to not paying his hotel bills last year. He actually did a runner and disappeared when one of the hotel staff accompanied him to the bank to get the payment.
He has numerous calls from other women since they are all trying to chase him for money. He will give an excuse and say they are disgrunted ex-girlfriends etc.
Well done, Lizzie! I heard of ur name during last Christmas, 2008. He used same excuse sto cheat on me. He will be in court on 30/31 Mrach 2009…Eastern Court, Sai Wan Ho.
This time, he will not be so lucky. Should let him try some punishment. I promise!
I was on my way up to Seasons Fitness yesterday (17 Nov 09), when a relatively well-dressed PRC man stopped me at the lift, and asked whether I spoke Mandarin. With my limited understanding, he wanted to borrow $ off me so that he could stay 1 night at the Island Shang, having lost his friends and what-not. I asked him how much he needed, and told him flat out I was a brokeass and couldn’t possibly afford a night at the Shang at rack rate. He then asked to borrow 2k so he can at least find a less luxurious hotel. It was kind of cold last night, so I agreed…..
The whole time, he gave me his name card, got my number and called my cell straight away (Caller ID was “Call” indicating an overseas number) and kept asking me out to dinner the night after to return money. I told him he could return the money whenever once he gets himself sorted out, but to hell with dinner. Giving you money is one thing, but giving you MY TIME?… You’ve gotta be kidding.
I bank with HSBC, and only Citibank ATMs are available at the ICBC Tower. I was in a mad rush to hit the gym for 18:45 class, and wanted to get to a HSBC ATM quick to get everything over and done with. Up to this point, I still didn’t click, although what stroke me as odd, was how well he seemed to know his way around Central while claiming to be in HK for business only. He was able to point out the whereabouts of the ATMs for me, which was miles away.
I called my boyfriend to let him know I was running late for gym class, and told him what happened (against the wish of this borrower – he kept asking me not to tell my boyfriend to save him face… whatever..) just as I was getting cash out from the machine.
I was still on the phone while I was walking away from the ATM, and this PRC man immediately asked whether he could have the $ as he has to rush to TST to meet someone, somewhere or something.
All this time, my boyfriend was at the other end of the phone telling me a lot of people get conned around the area.
Well I figured… if this PRC guy had somewhere to go, or someone to meet at TST, it can’t be that bad, right? I’m sure he can get a roof over his head somehow, so I said, “Sorry mate, I have the cash with me, but I’ve decided I don’t want to lend it to you anymore…”
I’m VERY annoyed though. He wasted my precious workout time, damnit!!!
I googled “Con artist, Central, HK”, and see the EXACT SAME GUY. Eeww… *goose pimples everywhere*

Please don’t let me see him around my gym again. I go to the gym religiously, cos I have a lot of pent up energy. And when I get pissed off too often, I run out of places to hide the bodies before they can decompose…
