MELAKA: A housewife here was cheated out of RM2.08 million by a Macau scam syndicate member, posing as a police officer with the title of 'Datuk', who claimed that she was involved in drug dealing and money laundering.

The incident unfolded on Jan 10 when the woman, 49, received a call from the individual claiming to be from the Pahang contingent police headquarters.

He said the 'dirty' money was from her own savings and inherited from her family.

"Using the WhatsApp application, the suspect showed the victim her arrest warrant and a letter to freeze her assets, before instructing her to divulge her bank account details for investigation purposes. Frightened, she conformed.


"The victim also provided the six-digit one-time password (OTP) to the suspect.

"(But she later) became suspicious and referred the matter to the bank," Melaka Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Superintendent E. Sundra Rajan said in a statement.

He said the bank informed her that there had been 164 online transfers carried out through 'DuitNow', amounting to RM2.08 million, to 16 different bank accounts. She then lodged a police report.

He said police checks through the http://ccid.rmp.gov.my/semakmule website revealed that the suspect's phone number, 014-7410772, was also involved in 13 other reports using the same modus operandi, adding that the case would be investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. - BERNAMA https://www.nst.com.my/news/crime-courts/20...ng-bank-details

History in the making
pity she lost to scam.

Everyday got news like this..

But so many get scammed.

2m but otak kari lembu..
Smart won't make you rich.

house wife got 2 million?

i now dont feel like activating the DuitNow

'Inherit', yeah right.

If u done nothing wrong, u wouldnt be worry about drug deal and money laundering claim. An innocent ppl would just cut off the call if someone call to talk about this.

I need a career change.

anyhow, amazingly the number still active

are telcos too powderful? mcmc toothless?

Rich worrr

How can transfer that amount ? 10k above already block lei.

I first day already think it's a bad idea. More attack surface for hackers/scammers.

karma izit
housewife ma got 2m..whos know she showoff2 before

that drug dealing is probably true story

Why takut. The money really from the laundering activities?

Btw, recently got spam call from LHDN on tunggakan. I already received the money last year. Kek. To add the kek, the scammer using +6016-xxxxxxx number.

Expose here i want to try contact and troll them
Hnghh

My 1st thought too. Sure kena target liao

I think involved in money laundering more than kena scam.

What bank?

no notice or whatsoever when that much of money transfer in that short span of time? bank do not have any security system to trigger such dubious transactions?
