Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Lakshmi narasimhan Lakshmanan.
I live in Singapore and attached is my IC and Indian Passport (I am a permanent resident in Singapore).
I earlier met with one Mr. Asanka Sonnadara, Sri Lankan, whose passport and other details of his Sri Lanka entity and emails for investments are as attached.

He visited me twice in Singapore and took investments in bitcoin and took money in Singapore dollar to his UOB bank account in Singapore as well as to his commercial bank in Sri Lanka.
The funds were taken with agreement as attached to generate investment returns in equities and forex trading through bitcoin.;

He paid the first instalment of interest after first week. After that since September 2018 he started playing games that things are getting stuck here and there and finally confessed one day that the funds are lost while he was still in Bali Indonesia.

Later he visited me again in Singapore to explain the situation and got another 16500$ to help in bitcoin trades with promise to recover the losses.

Here also he paid some money initially and after two weeks he started giving reasons for money not being paid.

He said his mom is undergoing heart surgery and is at the Government hospital in Colombo 7.
He keeps saying that I need to pay him more money to get the original. In this way he already got few thousand dollars, and 100 k LKR recently as well.

The original money I gave was 45000$ and the additional amount of 16500$ was paid later.

I would like to lodge an official complaint for investigation on him to recover the money along with the interest with fraud bureau and make sure his name is black listed on the account holders list.

Asanaka Sonnadara's mobile number and email id -

LK - ‭+94 (77) 160 4082

Singapore -+65 8187 5650
email - sampath.[protected]@gmail.com

Hope to hear back soon on a positive response. I am available for a call any time to give more details.

Best Regards

Hi All,

My name is Edwin, my father is a victim of this scam from Asanka, he used to be my father guess in my father’s accommodations. He been repeatedly asking to tranfer money with the same case. I feel so helpless because my father is in Bali and I live in Sydney Australia now. If anyone know what would be the best approach for me to have this person investigated? Because he has ruined my family relationship and anyone don’t deserve this.

Edwin, I tried to contact you via LinkedIn. How can I reach out to you?

The passport you shared is a forged digital passport copy. I must talk with you. Tell me how to contact you. It's important and may help your family as well.
