KUALA LUMPUR: Scammers have struck again, leaving an accounting clerk poorer by RM112,000.

Sentul OCPD Asst Comm Beh Eng Lai said the victim was contacted by a man, claiming to be a bank officer.

"The caller told her that there were several credit card charges under her name but she denied knowledge.

"The call was then passed to another person, said to be an officer from Bank Negara.


"The victim was convinced by the scammers to reveal her account details.

"A day later, she checked her account and found that RM112,000 had been transferred to several other bank accounts," he told a press conference on Friday (Jan 15).

ACP Beh said in a similar scam, a businessman lost RM5,000 to the fraudsters.

"He was contacted on Jan 7 by someone who introduced himself as an acquaintance and a customer.

"The caller convinced the victim that he had changed his number and needed financial help.

"Two days later, the victim realised that he was duped," he said.

ACP Beh urged the public to be more vigilant of such calls and to verify with the authorities first if unsure.

Last year, Sentul police received 193 reports on phone scams, with losses estimated at around RM6mil.

Around 30% of these cases were considered solved.

i working as manager also dont have 112k cash to be scammed.

Is there really someone call Justin Zack in Malaysia working for Star Publications?

Damn. When kena scam rubber tappers, teachers and now clerks got T20 money. When not kena scam, all layak BR1M. Win win.

Where is F they get the money

Why these kind of need clerk got scammed, teacher got scammed, the victim always got few hundreds cash to be scammed.

Feel like malaysia income is even higher than australia

Im always surprised to see the amount of money they kena scam. And supposedly the victims always work in mid to low income jobs...

got insider in the bank..if your money over 100k in the bank beware.

seems that they started to target low savings

I envy clerk also can have 112k savings... me want 1k savings also hard..

I think majority does not have 112k to be scammed.

i very mindfarked everytime see news junitor kena scammed 100k, clerk kena love scammed 500k, supervisor kena scammed 900k.

fark wei, i dont even have half of it.

most likely someone obtained the users' financial records from bank institutions and use that for opportunity to scam

Very good get rich quick

Why would you have that much cash sitting in a bank acc unless you rich af?

Not full name.
