Calm her down as much as you can. Before you tell her what you think, ask as many questions as possible. Who is this person? Why did he request money? What is the court case about? Show that you care and learn as much as possible. Then move on to questions like: how are you sure this person is from the police? Did you meet him face to face? Are there any documents of this court case? If she's not telling you anything, then get the help of another family member or a friend. Anyone that your mom would talk/listen to. If you manage to get hold of her phone again, screenshot the entire conversation.

just explain why some people transfer money to love scam, bank scam. People got scared or in-love can't use their brain properly.
Plus the similar points with current case: - Information from the scammer. - No letters, no names, no police id, no court case number. - Transfer money online (Confirmed kena scam)
Tell her give money to old folks home or orphanage better. i also very miskin, give me some too.

Thanks all for the respond. The scam is quite a long story. First he messaged my mom said my mom is involved in criminal stuff from jjptr(my mom was one of the investor) and that she should be silent about it so her family will not get into trouble. He claimed that he is a police investigating this case and none should know this **assuming he got my moms info from JJPTR related documents.
And even sent a fictitious court letter asking for bail etc...to be honest it looks real. Apparently based on the chat he Old folks are at risks with these as they dont know much bout technology photo editing advancement.
I secretly checked all her bank acc history and found one transaction of 40k to the scammer. The other 100k I cannot find yet. In all her WhatsApp chat, she has borrowed up to 70k already from friends. Funds at which acc, I dont know
I dont care now. I am going to the police at 6am later to report these sh*t. And try to call the bank to block all acc

So sorry of what happened. I personally received such call before but thankfully I realised it is a scam before transferring any money. Don't be surprised that this scam happened many times before. If can, please show this article to your mom. https://www.google.com/amp/asklegal.my/p/ma...-call-money.ampAnd yes please make a police report and block all accouts asap.

No choice. In order to have a chance in recovering the funds - you would first need to make a police report. And to do that, you need to convince your mom. 1. Tell her everything is ok. We all make poor decisions when in panic mode. If needed try to involve someone she trusts, like a wise-uncle or accountant family friend. 2. Make police report (and BNM report http://www.bnm.gov.my/microsites/fraudalert/04_help.htm)3. Let the authorities freeze the account and follow the money. The police may even investigate the person's bank account, track him in person. Assist them as much as possible. It's not too late, but you have to hope that the criminal makes mistakes/slips up.

TS, I think you know what to do already, legal wise. For your mom, please don't humiliate her or call her stupid or anything (other ppl should avoid too). No1 wants to be involved in a scam. 150k is alot of money and she do it out of love and concern of the family. Last thing you want is she get into some emotional state and affect her health. Good luck

Reported police already, confirmed unrecoverable as she confessed that she went a few rounds to make the transfer using various methods like deposit machines etc. Now everything is fine, emotions settled down. for the rm150k, all me and siblings will slowly pay back the debt :/
At first quite pissed...now I'm fine already....acceptance comes in. Thanks all for the advices.

Need to educate her Well.. it is clear some people never deserved the money they gained from the society in the first place. I see it as pretty fair and just retribution. It pays to keep learning even as you grow older. Many older people I know, simply laze off their lives after 40 or something and expect all to be goody goody. The nightmare comes when you are in line to inherit their debts and ah long friends.
