: An information technology assistant officer at a government agency lost around RM153,000 after falling victim to a non-existent investment scheme.
Pahang Police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said based on the report received, the 45-year-old man claimed that he was involved in a bitcoin-based investment scam after meeting an individual on the Tinder app. He said the victim was offered an investment opportunity with a 45 per cent bonus return if he invested RM100,000.“However, after investing a total of more than RM153,000 in eight transactions into the provided account between Oct 28 and last Wednesday, the victim’s investment account was blocked,” he said in a statement today.
Yahaya said the victim, who had used his savings and taken a personal loan for the investment, was unable to withdraw the promised profit and suspected that he had been deceived. The victim filed a report at the Kuantan District Police Headquarters yesterday, and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.Lianlian DigiTech Showcases “Dual Booths” at the 2024 Singapore FinTech Festival, Demonstrating Achievements in Digital Payment Services to the World
