PETALING JAYA: A 51-year-old woman lost almost RM700,000 to a Macau Scam.
The victim received a call from an unknown individual on May 21, claiming to be from Pos Laju, informing her that her package was sent to someone in Tuaran, Kota Kinabalu.
"When the victim denied this, the call was supposedly transferred to someone posing as a policeman from Kota Kinabalu, who told her she was involved in money laundering. The scammer then told the victim to hand over her banking details so that he could check with Bank Negara, he added. "The victim finally informed her husband after the final transaction and realised she was cheated of RM695,660.68 of her life savings," ACP Nik Ezanee said.
