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?

#husbandisworking

This is not the first nor the last time happen. If bank cannot secure and improve their cyber security, then scam will keep happen repeatedly. So many transaction, yet bank not red flag earlier. kek

Another body got shit person

the blame should be to the banks too

164 transfers to 16 different accounts, amounting 2 million, and it didn't raise any flags?

Also, did she provide the OTP 164 times too? Or at least 16 times (if set as favourite, which doesn't require OTP)

one OTP was to change the phone number ?

bcome 1 time scammer......better than u keja kuli 10 yrs also cant make 1 million

if u think they care even a bit, ur dead wrong.

last time cimb stole my parent 2k oso like that only during money transfering at the counter, the female manager even come out defend the banker that stole money, called the guard to check the pockets/clothes of the suspected worker but they didnt do so cuz "iTs nOt mY jOb". fuck it and go report to the balai and after 6 months still got nothing, cctv footage show nothing else, the counter perfectly covered the suspected banker's hand in the act, cb cimb money laundering bank, even the banker oso thief and steal ur money, in their own fucking seat! Got past cases also related about the bank scammed money from elderly, but how now, everything swept under carpet, no news no anything. Fk cimb

most likely an insider job going on where pipu info got leaked for peras ugut.

highly unlikely polis will investigate further as the leak if probably from their side.

let just say rather then a scam she pays for not having to go to court and penjara.

Serious question, where does the scammer bank the money to?

cuci duit gone wrong

You're suggesting she is involved in money laundering and she reported to police?

Got a lot of money.

Don't have much common sense.

Sigh.

Must family involve in illegal stuff, that is why kecut bola..

I use cimb, everytime open app keep asking me to register duitnow

Cimbai

I don't think that's possible. Phone number change should be done over the counter.

I received a call from scammer two days ago about being selected for some prizes. The person sounded like a Bangla. He told me If I dont believe him, he could send me his IC. He made the call via WA. I cut the call but he called me back again.

cant even reach the site

I tot macau scam just got busted? Oh.. the feller ran away hiak3.. So he's back in business

curious one thing, always read scammer managed to get rich victim....like is it they got insider news who is rich then make their target or news only report cases involved lots of money ?

bank scam their own client

Duit senang masuk...senang keluar..
Housewife oso paid well nowadays
#BersangkaBaik

Bank insider must be working with the scammmers.

Definitely badan ada tahi. Very sus.

1. 2 mil in bank account?
2. 160 transactions also tak tau?
3. Account didn't get flagged by bank?

rich people always bully the poor.
Bila marah poor people, always something like this:
"You tau x sapa saya or you dont know who I am?"
"I will ask my lawyer to sue you"

bila scammer call, takut sampai duit semua dia bagi. lol.

Maybe this wayang can work...

1.Become Banker
2.Get customers with dirty money
3.Give info to scammers for some cuts
4.Scam successful
5.Customer might not make report
6.Profit...

i wish i have 2m when i am 49 yrs old

never learn

that's why guys, don't keep so much liquid cash
you become a target for macau scam
they have wide network, some bank staff maybe will inform them if they knew you got a lot of cash
maybe you're street smart and you can avoid these traps
but who knows ?
when you gone, you pass down all your money to your char siew children and they get cheated
so financial literacy and IQ is very important

hahahaa is possible

2 m in asset but

1.5 m in debt (loans)
