In exchange, he would receive S$50 per year for each company that he stood as nominee director for. He would also be paid S$50 if he needed to open a bank account for the company or make any trip to sign documents.Under this agreement, Er was registered as local director and secretary of a Singapore company called Rui Qi Trading, incorporated in August 2020.

Another scam victim was German company Gasfin Development Gmbh, which received purported emails from its supplier requesting payments. The company was deceived into transferring nearly US$980,000 to Rui Qi's account. The money was further transferred to bank accounts in Hong Kong.
