A TikTok video of a woman warning others about an offer she received to take part in a sexually suggestive photo shoot involving 50 men has gone viral, with several users saying they’d received a similar proposition.
Junior designer Lai Yi Jing, 21, posted a video on the platform last week saying that she had received an email from a man named “Gavin Choo”, who identified himself as a Singapore-based freelance photographer.
The man said he was scouting for models for a paid project, described as a “clothed” indoor photo shoot with a “unique concept”. In return for taking part, she would be paid S$8,000 (US$5,900).

Wondering if it was too good to be true, Lai said that she asked the man for more details to ascertain if he was a legitimate photographer.
The man responded that the model would have to be dressed in a crop top and a tennis skirt and that the shoot would involve 50 other men performing a sexual act.
I would do anything for money, just not this
He then said that the remuneration would be raised to S$12,000 (US$8,900). Lai said in the video that she did not take up the offer.
