QuickCheck: Are scammers putting notices that look like police summonses on cars?
'A summons!'
'Is it from the municipal council or is it from the police?'
'When did this happen? I was only away for a minute.'
The emotional ride typically concludes with a sense of resignation.
Recently, claims have emerged on social media that notices resembling summonses were placed on cars parked at a mall, but they were neither from the police nor the municipal council.
Is this the work of scammers?
Verdict:
FALSE
It's worse. It's marketers.
According to MyCheck, the incident occurred in May, and the summons-like notices were used to promote a motoring programme.
Although it was an advertising strategy, it was illegal as it was designed to resemble an official police document.
According to Sinar Harian, two of the event managers pleaded not guilty in two Magistrates' Courts in Kuala Lumpur to two charges of using a fake notices resembling an official police document to deceive the public at the parking lot of a shopping mall in Bukit Bintang and the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on May 10 and 11.
They were charged under Section 471 of the Penal Code and are punishable under Section 465 of the Penal Code, read together with Section 34 of the Penal Code, which provides for a maximum imprisonment of two years, a fine, or both if convicted.

They were beaten and forced to confess involvement in the kidnapping, which they denied. Do you agree? Mohamad Jazlan: I do not agree.
