Henry Wu posts beautiful travel photos on Instagram. He and his friend, another Instagrammer named Zory were scammed out of $7500 by a person pretending to be Wendi Murdoch, ex-wife of Rubert Murdoch. "Wendi" (me@wendimurdoch.com) hired Henry and Zory to fly to Indonesia, and once they arrived, they were bilked multiple times by accomplices who demanded various photography fees. As things got increasingly weird and "Wendi's" assistants started becoming hostile, Henry and Zory slowly came to the realization that they'd been duped.
