This man has been accused of Photoshopping his face onto images of a real doctor to con unsuspecting female victims into dating him and giving him money.

According to reports, the Malaysian man was discovered by netizen ‘Aryana Ren’ who learned the truth after encountering the alleged love rat on the internet and doing some digging.

The man, identified as Aizat Hamdan, has been pretending to be a doctor at the Ipoh Hospital in the city of Ipoh in the western Malaysian state of Perak, according to Ren.

Hamdan is accused of superimposing his own face onto images of a real doctor at the hospital.

He then allegedly used the pictures to pose as a doctor online and woo the ladies.

The fake doctor even managed to borrow money from some of his targets, according to local media.

Ren said that Hamdan is not registered as a doctor with the Malaysia Medical Council and is using the photos of a well-known laparoscopic surgeon from Indonesia, Dr Rudiman.

Ren has reportedly filed a complaint with the police and is also cooperating with Dr Rudiman regarding the use of his images.

She has also asked victims to step forward to help compile evidence against Hamdan.

The local authorities have yet to confirm that they are investigating the suspect.
