1. This is yet another case of cyber fraud or, to be more exact, catfishing. Madam Luk was defrauded by a person purporting to be her lover and she was deceived into transferring out of her pocket a total sum of USD729,900 and another sum of HK$989,250 over the course of 5 months in 2018 into the bank accounts of the three defendants in the present case. She brought this action to claim against the defendants for the said sums on a restitutionary basis.
