A woman who believed she was in a romantic relationship with a man transferred money to him weekly after he told her that his father was sick and he was in debt from paying the medical bills.
Ms Lee, 42, successfully sued him to recover her money after she presented text messages showing that she was constantly concerned about helping him with money. She also submitted photographs showing that he drove a sports car and wore branded items and that his mother bought a Rolex watch. Ms Lee had given a total of $212,850 to Mr Ng, but the judge found that transfers amounting to $2,800 in 2020 were not premised on false representations and deceit.
In 2014, Ms Lee began giving $650 a week to Mr Ng as he had left his job as an insurance agent and told her he needed money to pay his father’s medical bills. Mr Ng did not introduce Ms Lee to his friends and family, and did not tell her that his father had died in August 2018. Mr Ng presented some of his mother’s medical bills, which showed that only about $600 had to be paid in cash. He did not present his father’s medical bills or evidence that he was making payment towards them.
