KUANTAN: A female clerk lost RM109,540 to an online investment scam in March, said Pahang police chief Comm Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman.
The 37-year-old single mother had been enticed to join an investment scheme offering high returns on Instagram and ended up using her savings and loans from her friends and family to make 41 transactions to different bank accounts. "The victim then realised she had been deceived after the suspect kept on requesting various additional payments for the investment before she could withdraw her profits," Comm Yahaya said in a statement on Monday .
The victim then lodged a police report at the Kuantan district police headquarters on Sunday , he said, adding that the case was being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for fraud. Comm Yahaya also advised the public to remain vigilant against online investment scams and to check account numbers and telephone numbers at https://semakmule.rmp.gov.my before making any online transactions. - Bernama1MDB trail: No agreement with govt to drop US$1.18bil suit, Shahrol tells courtSabah STAR wants Pejuang to entrust Sabah's governance to local parties
