The 26-year-old victim claimed to have received a phone call on Oct 12 from a caller with the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC)

: Panic ensued when a dentist was told that her phone number was being used for fraudulent purposes, causing the terrified woman to lose RM269,000 over several months in a phone scam.

“The suspect claimed that the victim’s phone number had been used for fraudulent purposes in Kuantan before the call was connected to another suspect posing as a police officer, who said her bank account was used as a mule account in illegal money laundering. He said the frightened victim then deposited money through 15 transactions into nine different accounts before she finally lodged a police report on Dec 5 upon realising she had been cheated.
