In Melaka, housewife and student lose over RM250,000 to Macau scam syndicate
MELAKA, April 12 — A housewife and a student in Melaka lost RM259,642 to a Macau scam syndicate after being duped by a syndicate member who posed as a Health Ministry official claiming that their personal information had been used by other individuals for vaccination registration.
He said his team received reports about the two victims of fraud at the Simpang Ampat and Batu Berendam police stations respectively on April 8. “The victims were then instructed to cooperate with the suspect to investigate the matter and they were then connected to the ‘police’ via a call for further verification before being informed that their personal details were used in a money laundering case,” he said in a statement here today.
The syndicate then ordered the victims to provide all information pertaining to their bank accounts for auditing purposes but after the victims had given their bank account and pin numbers, as well as their online banking access, the victims’ funds from their accounts were transferred into the suspect’s account.In the meantime, he said the Melaka police have received 93 reports related to Macau scam syndicates involving losses of an estimated RM3.12 million from Jan 1 to yesterday.
