A scam artist in Taiwan had reportedly tricked as many a 20 women into sleeping with him by claiming he had a rare medical condition.

Hsu Shian-ming allegedly posted photos of an attractive young man on dating sites and received a string of responses from love sick females. He would then tell the women on the phone he had a father who had a medical condition which meant he had to have constant sex to stay alive.

The women would then meet up with the ‘father’ at various hotels in the capital Taipei. One of his victims became suspicious after constant attempts to see the son were unsuccessful.
