A woman, 76, sought help from police 22 hours after she claimed she was cheated out of $232,000 in local and US currency by a man and two women in Mongkok. She met them in Oak Street at 3pm on Monday and the man told her his father could end her bad luck by holding a ritual. She withdrew US$25,000 (HK$195,000) and HK$37,000 and handed it over ahead of the ritual. She later tried to contact him but failed.
