: The Telegram app is one of the 16 primary communication mediums commonly exploited in investment scams, said Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf.
“Women constitute the majority of victims, with 2,124 people reporting losses totalling RM315.3 million, while 1,740 male victims recorded losses of RM170 million,” he told a press conference here today. He attributed this to emotional vulnerability and openness in personal relationships, which made women more susceptible to exploitation by syndicates.
Ramli further said that the number of love scam cases this year is expected to match or exceed previous years, with 496 cases and RM23.3 million in losses recorded in the first eight months alone. “These syndicates constantly change their tactics according to the current situation and developments,” he said.
