KUALA LUMPUR: By offering high dividends of up to 15% a month and yearly profits of up to 24%, a marketing management company with five different types of investments purportedly caused investors to suffer huge losses, mostly out of their retirement funds.

Malaysia International Humanitarian Organisation secretary-general Datuk Hishamuddin Hashim said the syndicate used five different companies but the people behind it were from the same group.

“These are unregulated funds but two companies misuse the Securities Commission’s logo by stating they had submitted information memos which people often mistake for being regulated. It is believed some 3,000 victims are from all walks of life, including locals and foreigners, have been affected by the scams involving an estimated RM830mil losses, Hishamuddin added.

Musa added that under Section 107 of the Criminal Procedure Code, the police must also revert information within 14 days following reports made on the investigation.
