GEORGE TOWN: A 47-year-old interior designer lost RM794,000 after being deceived by an online investment scheme known as 'CSECDT,' which was advertised on Facebook. She reportedly began communicating with a female suspect via WhatsApp after seeing an ad promising returns of up to 100 per cent within a short period. State police chief Datuk Hamzah Ahmad said the victim was instructed to download the investment app and register as a member before starting investments between April 11 and June 3. "During this period, the victim made seven money transfer transactions to seven different bank accounts owned by several companies. "The victim only realised she had been scammed after attempting to withdraw her profits, which amounted to RM2 million, but was asked to pay a withdrawal tax of RM200,000 first," he said in a statement tonight. Hamzah explained that the victim then filed a police report on June 16, and an investigation is currently being carried out under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.
