The 64-year-old victim came across the investment offer through an advertisement on Facebook and was subsequently connected with an individual claiming to be Raymond Goh, an investment group trainer.

The victim was briefed on the investment opportunity and added to a WhatsApp group, where he participated in investment activities for about two weeks.
