Gigolo cheated by non-gigolo

China Press reported that a would-be male escort got cheated when he responded to a flyer looking for gigolos.

The jobless man, 28, from Johor Baru, who identified himself as Zhang, said he picked up an advertisement pamphlet offering jobs as male escorts at a car park last month.

He called the number and a man named John persuaded him to take up the offer.

"John claimed that I can earn a lot of money by singing at karaoke parlours and having sex with clients, who he said are between 30 and 60 in age.

"I banked in a RM1,000 (S$409) commission to him, but realised later that I had been cheated when he did not get back to me," said Zhang.
