KEPALA BATAS: A housewife lost RM136,000 after falling victim to a Macau scam syndicate which duped her into believing that she was under investigation for “selling” a bank account to a man for RM10,000.
The victim, in her 70s, was alleged to have pocketed RM23mil from the transaction by an “inspector” from the Johor police headquarters.
“He told the victim that she has a package with an identity card and eight ATM cards. The call was later transferred to a ‘police inspector’.“Shocked and scared, the victim followed his instructions to transfer her money through an ATM branch near her home,” he said. A Macau scam often starts with a phone call from someone pretending to be an officer from a bank, government agency or debt collector.
