KUALA LUMPUR: Police have opened five investigation papers involving a fraudulent online voucher and rewards scheme that allegedly used famous names to lure investigators.
Police secretary Deputy Comm Datuk Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin said the total losses in the reports received came to RM508,261.09.
She added that users were required to deposit a certain sum before they could carry out any transactions, and initially all purchases and points redemptions went smoothly."We are investigating the matter for cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code,"she said.According to DCP Noorsiah, the then Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry had issued a media statement about a raid on this company on Oct 25.
It was reported on Friday that over 100 people had lost an estimated RM4.6mil since 2018 after being duped into joining an application-based rewards scheme that offered 50% discounts by a company that used the names of famous people, royalty, former government officers and religious leaders to attract users.
