Most investment schemes offered on social networking sites such as Facebook and Telegram are scams and fraud, according to Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.
“There’s nothing right about those viral investment schemes. All those videos and tactics are just scam techniques that ultimately lead to fraud. Ramli said this in response to the incident of two national badminton players falling victim to an investment scam syndicate that resulted in the loss of millions of ringgit.
Soon after, former national shuttler Tan Boon Heong also revealed that he had also suffered a similar fate, resulting in about RM2.5 million in losses to an investment scam.
