IPOH: A lecturer in Tanjung Malim lost over half a million ringgit after falling victim to a phone scam, says Muallim OCPD Supt Mohd Hasni Mohd Nasir.
He said a 38-year-old woman first received a phone call from the scammer about noon on Aug 3 that there were two parcels for her at a delivery company containing five MyKads, five passports and another five automated teller machine cards.
He then added that another suspect had posed as a policeman and accused her of being involved in a money laundering and human trafficking syndicate. “Between Aug 3 and 12, the victim made 25 transactions, totaling about RM537,659 to 16 different bank accounts," said Supt Mohd Hasni. He added that the husband said the victim kept on fiddling with her phone and had also wanted to borrow his money to make more payments.
