Tan went public with her new love on her 32nd birthday on Sept 22.
KUALA LUMPUR: Don’t be blinded by online romance and become victims of love scams , says Comm Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf .
“We must be sceptical and question people’s intentions, especially those who have just started an online relationship. This is especially true when they start asking for money or personal information,” he told a press conference at the CCID headquarters yesterday. “The suspect supposedly came to Malaysia to oversee the construction of an underwater tank in Terengganu but all his money was stolen.
“A total of 20 bank accounts involving seven company accounts, 12 business accounts and a personal account were used by the syndicate,” he said. “However, the victims ended up with no returns. We are tracking down seven other individuals to assist with the investigation,” he said. He was commenting on a report in an online portal titled “Transnational crime in South-East Asia: A growing threat to global peace and security”, which detailed how criminal networks built scam compounds in Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos and involved Malaysians in the management of their operations and fraudulent proceeds.“While there are Malaysians involved in scams, it is a trans- border problem as scammers are from various countries,” Comm Ramli said.
