KUANTAN: A nurse lost RM198,000 which she borrowed from a bank to a Macau scam syndicate.
Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf said the 36-year-old woman claimed she received a phone call from an individual claiming to be from a delivery company last Dec 13.
The caller then connected the call to a police officer who informed her that she was wanted for firearms and drug trafficking syndicate. "Subsequently, she claimed to have been asked by the police officer to apply for a personal loan and she was given a link to fill her information. "However, when the loan was approved, the money was transferred to the suspect's account without the victim's knowledge," he said in a statement on Friday .
He said the woman lodged a police report at the Kuantan district police headquarters yesterday after realising that she had been duped. - Bernama
