Photo by Bernama IPOH - Two men have lost a total of RM474,212.58 after falling victim to a non-existent investment scheme and a phone scam, according to police. Ipoh police chief ACP Abang Zainal Abidin Abang Ahmad said the victims, aged 61 and 56, lodged their reports on Sunday. "The first victim, a site supervisor, lost RM307,315 after being duped by the 'KKR Investment' advertisement on Facebook promising between 10 and 20 per cent returns in a short time. "Enticed by the offer, the supervisor made 14 transactions to six different bank accounts between April and July, only to realise he had been scammed when he was asked to make additional payments supposedly for profit withdrawal,' he said in a statement today. He said in the second case, a 56-year-old former factory worker lost RM166,897.58 after receiving a call from an individual posing as a Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) officer in June. Abang Zainal Abidin said the individual also claimed the man's phone number was linked to illegal moneylending activities ('ah long') and urged him to lodge a police report. "The victim was then connected to another individual posing as a police officer from Bukit Aman, who instructed him to transfer money from his Employees Provident Fund (EPF) account to a company account for investigation purposes. "The fund transfer was made on July 7 before the victim realised he had been duped and lodged a police report,' he said. Abang Zainal advised the public to be more cautious of investment offers that promise high returns in a short period and not to trust unsolicited phone calls from unknown individuals. - BERNAMA More Like This

Man Loses Over RM260,000 To Online Investment Scam On Facebook
JOHOR BAHRU, 22 July (Bernama) -- A 57-year-old local man lost RM267,888 after he was believed to have fallen victim to an online investment scam syndicate advertised through the Facebook application. Johor Bahru Selatan district police chief ACP Raub Selamat said the report regarding the incident was lodged by the victim at the Pelangi Indah police station on July 21 (yesterday) after realising he had been duped by an individual posing as an investment agent. Initial investigations revealed that the victim was drawn to an investment advertisement displayed on Facebook before contacting a woman who introduced herself as 'Olivia Leong' via the WhatsApp application. The suspect deceived the victim by promising investment returns of up to 80 per cent in a short period. The victim was then instructed to download an application and deal with an individual named 'George' for the transaction," he said in a statement today. The victim only realised he was being scammed when he tried to withdraw his investment money, but the suspect instructed him to make additional investments. According to Raub, the victim made nine money transfers between July 4 and 17, totalling RM267,888. He said the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property, which provides for imprisonment of up to 10 years, whipping and a fine. The Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) advises the public to always be vigilant and not be easily deceived by promises of extraordinary investment returns displayed on social media. "Check the company's background first; do not provide personal information; and avoid downloading unauthorised applications," he also said.
