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."

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.
