声称公司周转不灵，前男友在2015年借走三万多元，但仍有欠款拖欠至今。无奈下女子报警、找讨债公司帮忙要回款项，甚至于诉诸法律，要求前男友还款仍无果。 2014年底，来自中国的事主陈雅双，在他人介绍下认识了建筑公司业主，43岁的王韵川，两人很快发展成情侣。 2015年5月，王韵川声称其公司周转不灵，需要向陈雅双借三万元；以及同年3月15日，声称称要到美国卖房子来还钱需要现金，于是开了张6200元的支票，跟陈雅双换7千元现金。 不过陈雅双在2016年4月8日前往银行兑现，不过被告知支票跳票。感到受骗，陈雅双愤而报警。此后陈雅双也通过讨债公司追债，仍不得要领。 找讨债公司追债 陈雅双把此事带上法庭，也申请得传讯令状（Writ of Summons）要求王韵川面对诉讼。 根据当时的诉状，王韵川在2016年4月至6月间，归还了4500元给雅双，但即便如此仍积欠高达3万余元。 事主提供誌期2016年11月29日的法庭判决，基于被告王韵川未出庭，而被判需支付被告3万1500元、附加5.33巴仙利息以及法庭费用1千元。 今年再度报警 当时这宗个案也获得《新明日报》报导。当时陈雅双指自己已找过律师、发律师信追讨欠款，然而对方无动于衷。 据报导，当时王韵川指自己已每月定期还1000元，还了7个月，但反指陈雅双“出言不逊”，甚至要求后者写道歉信才还钱；也指当时陈借钱时两人是男女朋友关系，也没立下字据。 事主在本月19日，再度前往报警，陈雅双指过去数年自己也数次到过王韵川住处索讨欠款，但后者仍拒绝还钱。
