Colombo, Nov 12 (Daily Mirror): Six suspects, including a couple, have been arrested for allegedly forcing an individual to transfer Rs. 1 million from his bank account after inviting him for a body massage in Bambalapitiya.

According to the Bambalapitiya Police, the victim received an invitation for a body massage and was promised the service upon his arrival.

However, upon reaching the location, he was threatened and assaulted by the couple, who forced him to transfer Rs. 1 million through online banking.

In addition to the online bank transfer, the suspects had also stolen Rs. 15,000 from the victim's wallet.

Police arrested the couple, aged 44 and 54, who are residents of Piliyandala, along with the three-wheeler that was used in the crime.

Following further investigations, police arrested four more suspects, aged between 19 and 23, from Ratmalana and Mount Lavinia.

Wise public never go for SPA for massaging. Do it at home using Sithalepa applied by their spouse and their kids.

Spouse cant give that happy ending which they give in spa massage centers. Search tug jobs, you will understand why spa is more enjoyable.

A very expensive body massage. He could have gone to Bangkok and received VIP treatment with this amount of money.

Many Mushroom massage parlours cropped up in Colombo and other town during the past governments and this is the service the customers receive. Authorities must cause checks on these registered/unregistered parlours or SPAs and take suitable actin to make them more customer friendly

Spa should be run by trained therapist. Ex Aurvedic trained / certified from recognized body or certified physio therapist . Then the work and service offer become professional . Term spa misused in sri lanka. Sri lanka need an evolution in every industry.

This appears to be a clever attempt to rob and nothing to do with SPA. Registered SPAs will not do this sort of activities and they are making lot of money from Tourists. Siddalepa is providing excellent service to sick and old , and I understand they have branches in Germany.

Some Banks have ceiling placed on the amount that could be transferred online to self and to third parties. A control mechanism mostly below Rs.300,000 per day. If any Bank has not placed any ceiling on daily withdrawals on online transactions, clients of that bank take higher risk including other online frauds.
