KOTA BHARU: A state assemblyman in Kelantan has been cheated of RM84,529 by a Macau scam syndicate, police said on Monday (April 11).
Kelantan Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Asst Comm Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said the 57-year-old assemblyman only realised that he was cheated after finding out on Sunday that the amount had been withdrawn from his bank accounts.
"The suspect claimed the tax was payable because of a RM200,000 deposit into a company account allegedly belonging to the victim although the assemblyman denied this. "During the conversation with 'Datuk Puan Jasmine', he was asked to verify his accounts through a so-called Bank Negara link given via WhatsApp,” he said in a statement on Monday.
"Yesterday, he went to Bank Islam in Kota Bharu to check his account balance and make a new card. He was told by a bank officer that RM71,480 had been withdrawn from the account.
