This complicated scam involves acting out a convincing deception, leveraging cultural beliefs among Chinese communities, particularly targeting vulnerable older women who are more prone to fear and anxiety.
Mungnee, approached by a distraught woman, was soon swept into the scam, where the fear of her son’s fatal accident prompted her to hand over her valuables.
Scammers often employ a familiar script in Cantonese, creating a bond with the victim under the guise of goodwill and concern about a family member's health.
The combination of emotional manipulation and cultural elements makes the blessing scam particularly effective at targeting older members of Chinese communities.
