Tang was shooting in a movie and television base in the eastern China city when she answered a call yesterday. She was persuaded to go to a local bank and wire 210,000 yuan (USD 34,699) to a fraud suspect, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
It was not immediately clear why she chose to transfer that much money.
Police in the city's Songjiang District received a report from Tang. A case has been registered and probe is underway.
