A Hong Kong woman has been duped out of an additional HK$2mil (RM1.12mil or US$257,824) after a swindler posing as a victim offered to help her recover HK$5,000 (RM2,789) she lost earlier in an online shopping scam, according to police.
The force said on April 28 that the fraudster claimed to know a “team” that could help recover funds lost in scams, but told the victim that she had to pay a deposit for its services.
