A Beijing resident lost over $100,000 to a romance scammer who used Microsoft Teams to make the con look official.

The scammer met the woman on Xiaohongshu and convinced her to move their conversation to Teams, where he presented himself as a company researcher involved in Microsoft research.

The scammer's tactics are typical of romance scams: building trust before turning the conversation to money. He provided credentials for an account she could use, but this was likely staged.
