A LIVESTREAMER was saddled with a mountain of debt after her new boyfriend gave her a house, reported Nanyang Siang Pau.
The woman, from China’s Zhejiang province, started dating a fan of hers in July last year.
Just a week later, the woman – who only wished to be known as Cao – was overjoyed when the man expressed his desire to gift her a home, so she bought an apartment worth 970,000 yuan (RM628,556).“He gave me 180,000 yuan (RM116,640) for the down payment and promised to settle the housing loan in my name within three years,” she said.
However, she claimed that after the purchase was completed, her boyfriend, who had also borrowed more than 60,000 yuan (RM38,840), vanished.Cao claimed she later learned that the man was a property agent, and the “downpayment” was actually a rebate from the developer to entice new buyers.
