A lecturer in Johor lost RM1.3 million after being deceived by a Macau scam syndicate.
Johor police chief Datuk Kamarul Zaman Mamat said the 41-year-old woman fell victim to a phone call in which one individual posed as a Health Ministry staff. He said the individual on the line claimed that the victim was involved in forging the Covid-19 report in Sabah, before the call was connected to a Sabah police officer, who then stated the victim was involved in money laundering and drug activities.
"After the victim denied the allegations, she was instructed by the inspector to open a new bank account and submit the password and register the phone number given by the inspector to receive a Transaction Authorisation Code . "The victim transferred the money as instructed between Oct 17, 2022, and Nov 25, 2022, supposedly to ensure her savings remained safe pending investigations,” he said at a press conference here today.
