A Chinese entertainment company charges in a new lawsuit that it was scammed out of $1.56 million by a Queens firm that promised to deliver the Backstreet Boys for a concert tour last spring.
The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court by Guangzhou Love Life Culture Development Ltd., says it paid Belinda International Entertainment Group $2.2 million to produce the aging boy band — but that the Flushing company turned out to be a fraud.
“Defendants were never at any time ready, able or in a position to furnish the services of the Backstreet Boys for any concerts in and around mainland China,” the suit states.
Belinda, the suit adds, was operated by Kam Yan Leung, who promised that the band would play dates in March in mainland China, Macau and Hong Kong — but had no relationship with the band.
When the Chinese investors realized they had been duped, they demanded all of their money back — but Leung, a k a Angela Wong, came up with only $640,000.
There is no phone listing for Belinda, and Leung could not be reached.
