Two housewives in Pahang, Malaysia, lost significant sums of money to separate scams. One woman lost RM160,000 to a non-existent investment scheme advertised on YouTube, while another lost RM137,500 after being allegedly hypnotized by three unknown women who tricked her into handing over her valuables and savings.

Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the 67-year-old victim was initially drawn to the scheme after encountering an advertisement on YouTube, on Dec 8, 2024.

“Enticed by the offer, the victim transferred a total of RM160,000 from her savings, in three transactions to two bank accounts provided by the suspect,” he said in a statement, today.
