Fraudsters are creating fake news articles using The Star's letterhead and logo to promote fraudulent investment schemes. These scams target well-known figures like Datuk Seri Siti Nurhaliza and Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Cheah. The public is urged to be cautious and verify the source of any news they encounter.
PETALING JAYA: Not even The Star , which frequently highlights scam cases and victims, was spared from being targeted by scammers to trick victims.
The false write-up, which includes a made-up exchange between Siti Nurhaliza and a host named “Uthaya Raaga”, ends with the promotion of a fraudulent investment scheme that asks for a minimum deposit of RM1,100 to “start the programme”.Another bogus article had promoted an illicit get-rich-quick investment scheme, with false claims regarding Sunway Group founder and chairman Datuk Seri Dr Jeffrey Cheah.
