Prince Richard-Kingsley: "Just send me $2.5 million and
we'll get married too!"
Siu P.Y.F., a dentist who resides in Hong Kong, met the individual,
presenting himself as an American businessman, on an online dating
site in 2020. The two struck up a friendship and communicated solely
by phone for years, eventually deciding to get married (!). Later,
the suspect contacted Siu P.Y.F., claiming he had come to Istanbul
and made an investment, and therefore needed money.
Believing this lie, Siu P.Y.F. transferred a total of $2.5 million (!!)
to the bank accounts provided between 2020 and 2022. However,
after being unable to reach the person she expected to marry,
Siu P.Y.F. reported the fraud to the Hong Kong police.
But although the Hong Kong police launched an investigation into
the incident, they were unable to make any headway despite
extensive efforts. Having lost hope in the Hong Kong police,
Siu P.Y.F. retained a lawyer and filed a complaint with the Istanbul
Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.
Following the Hong Kong dentist's complaint, the Fraud Bureau
launched an investigation. Police tracked the bank accounts to which
the woman had sent money and detained five suspects who held
these accounts. While four of the individuals claimed not to recall
the incident (!), it was revealed that one suspect had handed over
the funds received in their account to a Nigerian national known to
them as "Richard." Acting on this information, police teams quickly
apprehended the Nigerian national, Kingsley O., who had identified
himself as Richard.
Kingsley O., who gave a statement at the Public Order Branch
Directorate, denied the allegations regarding the incident. While the
investigation into the matter continues on multiple fronts, six suspects
were referred to the courthouse following the completion of
procedural formalities.
Now she has a toothache...
