He said that he kept waiting for a notification regardign the deal, but the woman said that it would get delayed due to a technical malfunction.
The victim then left the office and waited for the next day. However, when the notification still didn't arrive, he realised that he had been defrauded and lodged a complaint.
A policeman involved in the investigations stated that the woman said she had been asked to buy a local currency in exchange of the money. The convicted added that she had completed the transaction and sent the money to an account in her country,
