CCID director Ramli Yoosuf says legislative review is necessary to keep up with the times, including the use of online banking.
According to police statistics, there were 3,370 scam calls in 2022, more than double the 1,585 reported in 2021.
Presently, anyone convicted of this offence faces between one and 10 years in prison, whipping, and a fine.“The laws should be reviewed to fit the current state of affairs. We need to improve them to be in line with the world of online banking,” he told FMT. Sarah claimed to have been duped by scammers into believing that she owed money to TNB for electricity supply to property she did not own.
After the first call with the scammer posing as a TNB officer, she received another call from a person claiming to be a policeman accusing her of money laundering.
