Love scam cons Penang woman out of RM2.33 million via WhatsApp
GEORGE TOWN: A factory programme manager was deceived into losing RM2.33 million in a love scam involving a man posing as a Singaporean businessman. Penang Acting Police Chief Datuk Mohd Alwi Zainal Abidin confirmed the 53-year-old victim met the suspect through her aunt in February 2023. The victim was introduced to the suspect, known as Perry Chan, who claimed to reside in Ottawa, Canada.
