A man has been arrested for allegedly defrauding an education consultant of nearly HK$3 million (US$382,500) by claiming he could secure dozens of places at a Hong Kong school, the South China Morning Post has learned. A police source said on Monday that the suspect, a 51-year-old Hongkonger, who claimed to be a businessman, signed a contract with a woman education consultant, 45, on March 1, 2024, promising to provide dozens of places at a school called “Kiangsu-Chekiang College”. Believing the claims, the consultant transferred about HK$2.84 million in 23 instalments between April and July 2024 to his mainland Chinese bank account, covering application fees for 37 students, the source added. He had allegedly promised access to 50 secondary school places at the college, assuring her that her students would also be given guaranteed entry into universities in Hong Kong or Macau regardless of their Diploma of Secondary Education results. However, the source said none of the students received admission offers from the school or any higher education institution. He subsequently cut off contact, prompting the woman to file a police report in May this year. Investigators intercepted him at Hong Kong airport on July 29 this year as he attempted to leave the city. He was arrested on suspicion of fraud. There are three secondary schools and one primary school carrying the “Kiangsu‑Chekiang” name in Hong Kong. The three secondary schools are located in Sha Tin, Kwai Chung and North Point.北角的一所是苏浙公学，这是一所深受内地家长欢迎的直接资助计划学校。
