Five Chinese nationals allegedly connected with online love scams, pleas to overstaying/work-pass offences and fines provide a qualified same immigration proceeding across Chinese/English versions. The English source names George Town; the Chinese source supplies two overstayers/three work-pass defendants and fine amounts. These are source-specific immigration outcomes, not convictions for romance fraud, proved innocence or victims paid compensation.
