The Judiciary Police (PJ) announced yesterday the arrest of a 59-year-old local woman on suspicion of swindling 38 mainlanders out of about HK$6.64 million between September 2009 and the middle of 2010 by telling them that she could help them move to Macau through property investments here.
The crux of the matter is that the government scrapped the property investment immigration scheme in 2007.
A PJ spokesperson announced details of the scam during a regular press briefing.
