事件發生在8月28日上午10時左右，地點是香港中環知名的文華東方酒店。警方接獲一名女子報案，指她在酒店25樓的中菜廳與一名透過網絡認識的男子約會。這場看似浪漫的約會卻在最後演變成一場昂貴的噩夢。

根據女事主的說法，男子在用餐過程中主動點一瓶極為罕見且昂貴的法國頂級香檳——「Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2002」。這款香檳被譽為「香檳界的勞斯萊斯」，全球年產量僅3,000瓶，市面價值驚人。在高檔餐廳中開這瓶酒，單單酒水加上其他餐點與服務費用，總金額約達港幣8萬元。

然而，當女子以為這是一場高級約會的體驗時，男子卻突然以「去洗手間」為由離席，然後就此消失無蹤。結果，餐廳將帳單交給女事主，要求她支付整筆消費。無奈之下，女子只好找朋友協助墊付費用，但她心中強烈懷疑自己是遇上「飯托騙局」——即有人假意約會，卻故意留下對方埋單的局面。

女事主因感到受騙，遂報警求助。警方接獲報案後，最初將案件列作「詐騙」處理。不過在隨後的筆錄過程中，女事主表示只是希望警方留下記錄，暫時並無進一步追究，因此案件最後被改列為「求警協助」，目前仍未有人被捕。

這起事件引起不少討論。一方面，它揭示網絡交友中可能隱藏的風險，提醒大眾在現實中見面時需保持警覺；另一方面，這樁昂貴的「借尿遁」事件，因涉及到世界級頂級香檳與高額餐費，更加劇話題性。輿論普遍認為，這類事件雖然法律追查難度高，但卻值得社會警惕，因為它不僅關乎金錢損失，也涉及到網絡交往中的信任危機。

This incident took place at around 10 a.m. on August 28 at the renowned Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Central, Hong Kong. Police received a report from a woman who said she had arranged a date with a man she met online at the hotel’s 25th-floor Chinese restaurant. What began as a seemingly glamorous meeting quickly turned into an expensive nightmare.

According to the woman, the man ordered a bottle of the extremely rare and costly French champagne “Krug Clos d’Ambonnay 2002” during their meal. Known as the “Rolls-Royce of Champagnes,” this vintage has an annual production of only 3,000 bottles and is sold at a staggering price. With the champagne, food, and service charges, the total bill amounted to around HK$80,000.

However, midway through the meal, the man excused himself, saying he was going to the restroom, but never returned. The restaurant subsequently handed the bill to the woman, leaving her to settle the full amount. She had to turn to her friends for financial assistance, and strongly suspected she had fallen victim to a scam commonly referred to as a “dine-and-dash date,” in which one party deliberately disappears and leaves the other person to foot the bill.

Feeling deceived, the woman reported the incident to the police. At first, the case was classified as “fraud.” However, during the police statement, the woman later clarified that she only wished to have the matter officially recorded. As a result, the case was reclassified as “request for police assistance,” and no arrests have been made so far.

The case has sparked widespread discussion. On one hand, it highlights the risks that may come with online dating, reminding the public to remain cautious when meeting strangers in person. On the other hand, the extraordinary cost of the champagne and the high-profile setting of the Mandarin Oriental hotel added to the story’s sensational nature. Public opinion generally sees this incident not only as a financial loss but also as a warning about the potential pitfalls of trust and deception in online relationships.
