A local resident found herself in trouble after hoping to see significant returns in an alleged high-interest deposit scheme she saw advertised on Wechat app, the Judiciary Police (PJ) informed in press conference held yesterday afternoon.
The case began to unfold on August 1 when the woman saw the advertisement for the alleged financial product that would provide her with an 80-fold return. Three days later, she decided to contact the advertiser and request information.
The contact informed her that if she invested a sum of over MOP10,000 for a period of two weeks she would make as much as MOP800,000. The woman decided to invest MOP19,000, which she transferred to the contact.
After waiting the two weeks and not receiving any further communication, she tried to make contact again, only to discover the contact was now unreachable.
She decided to file a complaint to the PJ claiming a loss of MOP19,000.
The police say they do not yet have any suspects for the case but it is still under investigation.
