It was reported that Chinese actress Tang Wei recently became the victim of a fraud when she was persuaded to wire her money to a suspect.

As reported on Xinhua, the police revealed that on 11 January, the actress, who was shooting a movie in the city, received a call convincing her to visit a local bank and transferred RMB 210,000 (approx. USD 34,699) to the suspect.

At 4pm, Tang reported about the fraud to the Songjiang District Police. An investigation is currently underway.

Meanwhile, several Netizens uploaded photos and wrote messages on Sina Weibo, claiming that they saw the actress at a bank.

The “Lust, Caution” actress is presently busy filming her new movie, “The Tale of Three Cities”, in which she portrays an opium smuggler, reportedly based on Jackie Chan’s mother.
