Johor police chief CP M Kumar said the victim’s acquaintance working at a local financial institution offered him the chance to join a scheme managed by the financial institution, promising the victim higher returns than those provided by other organisations. “Enticed by the offer, the victim handed over a cheque totalling RM1.8 million...and early this month, the victim wanted to withdraw the interest on his savings and contacted the suspect, but the suspect made excuses,” he said in a statement today.

He proceeded to lodge a police report on Wednesday ,” he said.
