The 72-year-old grandmother Feng, who lives alone in the "Rich Senior Citizen House" in Jordan Valley, purchased the 15-year fitness club membership of Comfort Castle 9 years ago for 2 million yuan. She wanted to apply for withdrawal last year, but was scammed by a 27-year-old unscrupulous fitness coach. With a cash value of 3.5 million yuan and a famous watch, she was "squeezed out" of her life savings, and she owed a large number of cards. She had to pay back 30,000 yuan each month. This caused her to fall into the predicament of having to eat three meals a day. District councillors asked for help, rushing around, exhausted physically and mentally.
"Hong Kong 01" called Granny Feng to find out this (28th) afternoon. She was extremely frustrated and said: "So unhappy!"
It is reported that the 72-year-old mother-in-law Feng retired for many years and worked as a clerk in a non-governmental organization (NGO) before retiring. She lived alone for one year in Caiyi's home in the Housing Association's "Elderly Comfortable Life" housing estate, without children or relatives.
Granny Feng was tricked into a total net worth of 2.6 million yuan in cash and used a credit card to purchase 900,000 yuan of watches. Currently, she has to pay 30,000 yuan a month on her card. She has no three meals. She has no choice but to seek help from a social worker. Yesterday they asked the district councillors for help again, crying.
Mother-in-law Feng accepted a telephone interview from "Hong Kong 01" this afternoon, and her tone was frustrated and weak and said: "So unhappy!" She said that she needs help now, and the police and district councilors are providing assistance.
Mother-in-law Feng purchased a 15-year membership at the Comfortable Fort in Kowloon Bay nine years ago based on health factors and paid 2 million yuan.
In September last year, he wanted to return the package and membership dues for personal reasons, but he fell into a scam by a 27-year-old male fitness coach surnamed Chen Wuliang.
Chen Nan pretended to assist Feng's mother-in-law withdrawing from the meeting and asked her to hand in cash first. Within a month, she "crazed" her with 2.6 million yuan. After her savings were exhausted, she took her to the shop "Luka" to buy 4 watches, worth 90 in total. Ten thousand yuan.
After Chen Nan "squeezed" Feng's mother-in-law's wealth, he disappeared.
After Chen Nan lost contact and did not get a refund from the Comfortable Castle, Feng's mother-in-law suspected of deception and called the police on Sunday (24th).
A 27-year-old man surnamed Chen in Tai Po was suspected of "obtaining property by deception."
It is said that Feng's mother-in-law has no relationship with the male coach, but the police still proceeded to investigate the relationship between the two.
The Choi Yi Residence in Jordan Valley was completed in 2004. It is a housing estate under the Housing Society's "Elderly Living and Happiness" program.
"Elderly Living and Recreation" aims to provide middle-class elders with housing, recreational facilities and medical care.
Applicants for the "Senior Citizens" program must be at least 60 years old. The asset limit for single persons aged 60 to 79 is between 4.11 and 7.33 million; for two-person families/groups, between 6.17 and 11 million.
Applicants need to pay a lump-sum rental fee to move in, and they can rent the unit for a long time until they are old for a hundred years, and the mother must pay a monthly rent.
The tenancy fee depends on the age of the elderly. In 2019, it was reported that 70-year-old applicants should pay about 900,000 yuan.
