KUANTAN (Bernama): A housewife claims she lost RM7,500 after she was allegedly cheated of selling her old coins to an unknown individual last month.
Pahang Commercial Criminal Investigation Department chief Supt Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said on Tuesday that the 36-year-old victim claimed that on Oct 25, she received a WhatsApp message from a man known as “Mr Kaypaul” who said he was looking for old coins.
"At 1.26 p.m., the suspect informed her that the money had been transferred into her account, but she had to pay the administrative fees before she could withdraw it as it was an overseas transaction, ” Mohd Wazir told Bernama here Tuesday. However, she became suspicious when she did not get the payments for the coins as agreed and lodged a police report at the Temerloh District Police Headquarters near here Monday.
In a separate case, a gardener’s dream of expanding his business selling agriculture apparatus were dashed after he was cheated by a non-existent online loan company, causing him to lose RM20,200.
