A 26-year-old clerk in Kuala Terengganu fell victim to a Shopee gift scam, losing RM30,000 after joining a Telegram group that promised free rewards. She was instructed to make several upfront payments to various traders before she could claim the promised gifts. The syndicate directed her to make five transactions totaling RM30,000, using her savings and withdrawals from her Employees Provident Fund (EPF). When she tried to claim her reward, she was informed that some tasks were still outstanding. The victim, worried about her depleted savings, filed a police report yesterday evening, and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
KUALA TERENGGANU: Seorang kerani mengalami kerugian RM30,000 akibat terpedaya dengan tawaran hadiah platform Shopee yang tidak wujud dalam laman sosial.
