Mr Retanasamy said the man told him the school wanted to host a staff dinner on Sunday at his stall. The man also said the school would host staff from the Ministry of Education the following night, and reserved nine tables for each night. When Mr Retanasamy asked the man why he could not buy the wine himself, the man said there was a “conflict of interest”.
Mr Retanasamy said he spent another $9,000 on ingredients for the dinner, which included pricey crab and other types of seafood. At about 5pm that day, he received an alert from the police anti-scam centre, warning him that he had made transfers to a suspicious bank account and that he might have been scammed.
