The heist was conducted by three and they held up a delivery truck driver outside a supermarket located in Mong Kok.
The driver was threatened by the 3 armed robbers to handover toilet paper.

They mentioned to my mum they don’t accept Cash, Only Nets. Upon keying in the nets machine, did my mum notice on the invoice it is not 17.90 but $179.
By then the transaction has been made, and the salesperson “THAN” mentions it is for a 10 years contract.
I felt its a misleading/scam case. We have filed a police report, as for now. Not yet for CASE.
– For those who are saying why didn’t check, my mum is in her 60s. – She doesn’t know English. – She can’t see very well. – And she was made into a “fear of loss” stage which indirectly compelled her to make the purchase. – I won’t deny she was impulsive because of it and made the purchase without clarifying with us,(her kids). By which when we came home it was all too late. – It is a $179 dollars lesson learnt, and I hope this would save and help everyone falling to such scams.
