She said she had gone with other aggrieved customers to demand their money.
The witness added that the advertising billboard of Menzgold attracted her to Invest.
Aside from that, she said an executive of Menzgold also persuaded her for about a year before she finally decided to invest in the business.
“My business is not thriving, and I am in the process of selling my house to make ends meet”, she said in her witness statement.

Forson also recalled that NAM 1 even used the gun on that day, noting that "he gave a warning shot."
On the cases as a whole, the convener expressed satisfaction with the pace of the case.
"I am sure by 30th January, cross-examination will be finished," he said.
