That afternoon, after a mobile verification, a staff member gave me the necessary details.
I responded, "I'll get the whole set. What service packages do you have?"
"We have two packages, ordinary and VIP. The VIP package includes a metallic silver version, also the virtual friend version."
"Yes, the friend version," I said.
"We'll deduct the deposit first and have our designer visit you tomorrow. No refund of money allowed."
I hung up.
A few minutes later, over 900,000 was taken away from my account.
Inflation wasn't bad that year but house prices did rise quite a bit.
My apartment was only 60 square meters but it cost three million.
In comparison, 900,000 was a big sum as well for just the deposit - a nonrefundable deposit.
To be honest, I felt as though I'd been scammed. Fortunately, I was well off enough not to care too much about it.
The next morning at about 10 AM, my doorbell rang.
