KUANTAN: A rubber tapper lost RM184,999 after he fell victim to a “high ranking officer” from Bukit Aman.
Pahang Commercial Crimes Investigation Department chief Supt Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said the 45-year-old victim claimed he was instructed to transfer money into four bank accounts for investigation purposes as his personal banking information had been misused by a third party.
Supt Mohd Wazir said the victim was first contacted by a “bank officer” who said he had outstanding credit card payments of RM7,000. “The victim was told that his ATM card verification code had become known to a third party before connecting him to an ‘officer’ in Bukit Aman. “The ‘officer’ then ordered him to transfer his savings into the accounts. He was assured that all the money would be returned within three days, ” he told reporters yesterday.
The victim realised he had been duped after the suspect was not contactable after three days, Supt Mohd Wazir said. — Bernama
