The 37-year-old factory worker saw a Facebook advertisement about the investment scheme in September, which promised a quick and high investment return.
"When she called, an agent claiming to be from a company called GenesisBusiness, offered her a get-rich-quick scheme and claimed that he had assisted many people with their financial problems. "She was promised she would get her investment profit on the same day she banked in the money," he said in a statement on Sunday .
Noorzainy said after the transaction was made, the victim was asked again by the suspect to invest more money.
Stupidity. After so much publicity in all this scams. And she has $40k? Factory worker? Borrowed from family?
