Housewife loses RM158,498 to fake online job scam
KUALA TERENGGANU: A housewife lost RM158,498 after investing money intended as business capital for her father into a non-existent online job scam. Kuala Terengganu district police chief Assistant Commissioner Azli Mohd Noor said the 30-year-old victim had come across an online advertisement for a job offer at around 10pm on May 9. He said the woman expressed interest in the job and clicked the advertisement link, which led her to a WhatsApp conversation with someone claiming to be a job manager. "She was briefed about the job, which allegedly involved boosting hotel ratings. She was promised a 10 per cent commission based on the capital invested," he said in a statement today. Initially, the victim was assigned tasks that required her to click on links, select hotel rooms, send screenshots and make payments as instructed. Azli said the woman received the promised commission after completing the first task. "She then proceeded to the second task and made payments totalling RM158,498 in stages to nine different bank accounts. "However, after completing all payments, the victim did not receive any further commission as promised," he said. Realising she had been duped, the woman lodged a police report at the Kuala Terengganu police station at about 11.42am yesterday.

"A variety of services and amenities on Gorgie Road and the nearby Saughton Park are located within a few minutes' walk from the application site. Images of the proposed properties show homes with sleek, dark grey cement cladding. Documents further state: "The design of the buildings has been developed to present an interesting but simple appearance reflecting the distinctive sense of community and place the client is hoping to create.
