According to the news portal, it was said that the deceased initially intended to borrow money so he could repay his debts but fell into the a scam by an old man who pretended to be a bank intermediary and lost thousands.
Out of sorrow, he penned, “Dad, Mom, I’m sorry for being such a failure as a human being. I’m facing a lot of stress.
“I’ve met a conman. I wanted to pay back my debts but instead, he cheated of all my money.
“I always wanted to give you two the best. But I can’t do it anymore. I feel like such a failure. I will be your child again in the next life. Sorry. I love you both.”
He also apologised to his friends in the note, thanking them for trusting him in his desperation. Netizens were outraged when they discovered the note, accusing the old man of harming the deceased and demanding that action be taken against him. Details of the scammer are yet to be disclosed.
