He started narrating a brand-new business idea to her, whereby he had plans to integrate a new IT technology with an existing transportation business of his friend. He sold her the idea that his long-term friend has been having this transportation business for the last 3 years and it has been churning out substantial revenue consistently.

Madam Mary, who happens to have seen her son’s friend in family gatherings and functions, had a good impression of him and was convinced with her son’s pitch. Her son then proceeds to ask her for an initial capital investment of SGD $20,000.00.

She somehow managed to borrow a sum of SGD $8,000 from her sister and paid it to her son. The money however could never be recovered and thus, she engaged our services.
