Have you heard of the proverb “sepandai-pandai tupai melompat, akhirnya jatuh ke tanah jua”? Well, this story is the English equivalent of that. 

A Japanese man had 35 girlfriends and was having a good life until his girlfriends formed a “victims association” and reported him to the police!

Takashi Miyagawa, 39, pretended to be in a serious relationship with all of his girlfriends and swindled gifts and cash from them by faking his birth dates. 

He faked his birthday just to go out with them and receive expensive gifts. He was exposed when they formed the association in February and stood up for their rights. 

Takashi was a part-time employee whose actual birthday was on November 13th, but he lied to his girlfriends that it was on February 22nd, a date in July and somewhere in April. 

Sources revealed that he received 100,000 yen (over RM3,000) in presents from three women including money worth 20,000 yen (RM761) and a suit which is priced at 30,000 yen (over RM1,000).

Police believed that his tactic of getting in touch with the women was through a multi-level marketing strategy focusing on the sale of hydrogen-water showerheads and other products. He brainwashed the ladies by saying that his long term plan was to marry them. 

We’re glad the scam got busted… but we can’t stop wondering, how did he manage to juggle all 35 girlfriends?!
