JEMPOL : A retiree has lost almost RM45,000 after being blackmailed by a woman who recorded him in a compromising situation during a phone conversation.
Jempol police chief Supt Hoo Chang Hook said the government retiree's troubles started on May 29 after the woman, believed to be a foreigner, contacted him via Facebook Messenger."On June 3, the woman, who was naked, called the victim and asked him to remove his clothes as well," he said.He said the conversation lasted about one minute."The following day, he received the same clip, and the woman threatened to release it unless he paid 15mil rupiahs to have the clip erased.
"Since the victim had no more savings, he ignored the woman's request and decided to lodge a report," he said, adding that the victim eventually told his wife and sister about the incident. Supt Hoo said the case is being probed under Section 384 of the Penal Code for extortion, which carries a jail term of up to 10 years, or a fine, or whipping, or any two of such punishments upon conviction.
