Brian Wee Beng Swee was not done in by COVID-19 and so he still manages to find himself victims even during these difficult times. Since the start of the pandemic, we have come across two victims who were fortunate enough to have gotten out before things worsened and it is all thanks to the victims themselves, or those close to them, having come across the detailed lowyat thread on Brian Wee Beng Swee and his exploits.
With the most recent incident, we were alerted that there were attempts to report the thread for removal by the admins. We are certain that only Brian Wee Beng Swee and his family members - namely his elder brother Aubrey Wee - would be the only ones who would do this. Since the thread has done a lot of good in creating awareness about this conman, we hope that the lowyat admins would allow the original poster to maintain the thread as the authorities are not willing to take any action despite numerous police reports lodged against Brian Wee Beng Swee.

Most of the cons involved people the family went to church with and when they too many people got mad at them, they decided to relocate here. If his age is 43 this year then this means that he has been keeping this gig up for 25 years by now. His family, as we have suspected in the past, are said to be well aware of what he does and since they benefit from his racket they aren't going to do the right thing by turning him in.
Since you have come across this blog post, we strongly advise that you share the lowyat thread with people you know who fit the demographic:
1. English educated
2. Single women in their 30s
3. Probably a church-goer/Christian
They may not be aware that there are men like Brian Wee Beng Swee and we want to help them with our cautionary story as much as we can.
I make reference to a post I wrote towards the end of last year about this one friend. Well, turns out that he may actually be a conman after all following some recent revelations . While I believe I have not been manipulated in any way, I consider the man called Brian Wee Beng Swee to be a potential danger to anyone he attempts to befriend because I - as well as some others who got involved in his con - are unable to figure out his motives until today. Let me share you my story. I used to be quite active on Twitter some time ago, during which I went through a particularly devastating breakup. Brian, who went by the name David Wee then, was following me on Twitter using the now abandoned handle @dmwee. He got in touch with me through DMs and I was grateful for his support and encouragement. At the same time, he started engaging with me and several other people I know on Twitter, including J, a former housemate of mine who is based in Indonesia. Somehow ...
