Teacher loses over RM180,000 to Macau scam syndicate

KUANTAN: A teacher lost RM187,000 after she was duped by a scammer impersonating a policeman from the Bukit Aman police headquarters.

Pahang police chief Datuk Yahaya Othman said the 36-year-old victim lodged a police report over the incident on Saturday claiming that she received a phone call from the suspect on May 10.

"Panicked and scared that she could be detained by the police, the victim followed the suspect's instructions to transfer her savings into an account and provide all her banking information for investigation purposes. Yahaya said the victim only realised that she had been cheated after failing to contact the suspect to ask about the status of the investigation.
