All sorts of reasons can be used. How he works is he befriends you and gain your trust as a friend, and in normal circumstances where you don't really question a friend, he will use that to manipulate.
1. Brother / father / mother medical emergency and difficulty raising funds on short notice. He is very reluctant to ask for help, reverse psychology you as friend will offer help, any way you don't believe he has any difficulty paying back.
2. He makes a big deal of planning trips, treating meals, going the extra mile to help, and appearing to have gotten presents / gifts, so his friends return the favor in advance. However the things he promise do not materialize.
3. In one case, he befriended a family at church and took one year to become close enough to be called a family friend. Often visit their home, go to church activity together, invited to join their family events etcetc. At the end they discovered he burglarized the house stole spare cash and foreign currency they kept at home, also stole debit cards and credit cards. He had peek the atm pin without the victim noticing, who had let their guard down around a close friend. Total loss more than 50k.
4. For the job scams, felt indebted to his help.
^ He like to bring different group of friends to visit his favorite food and drink places.......being a kuchingite he love to intro his favorite Sarawak food and one favorite place is 1. Brother / father / mother medical emergency and difficulty raising funds on short notice. He is very reluctant to ask for help, reverse psychology you as friend will offer help, any way you don't believe he has any difficulty paying back.

Aubrey's Sarawak Laksa Kolo Mee Tomato Mee stall
@ Restoran Hock Thai SS2 .
And his friends / victims had all heard the same story about his brother / father / mother died and had sympathised.......what they dont know is they are all alive and actually operating the stall at Aubrey Restoran Hock Thai.......and they are a ware of Brian Wee scamming activity and defend him (ps he use the father bank account to scam).......
The brother / father / mother act like they dont know Brian Wee when he brings his friends / victims to eat there.......play along pretend like he is just another customer and give no indication that they are related. But when he is not scamming he will help out at the stall.
