30 Jun – Singaporean singer-songwriter JJ Lin has recently issued a statement reminding fans not to fall victim to scams using his name.

However, these type of scams are endless. I hereby urge everyone to be vigilant and not to believe the rumours circulating on the Internet. If you encounter a situation where suspected criminals are attempting to scam you, please report it immediately and block the account to avoid becoming a victim."
