Lured by handicraft job offer on Facebook, Dungun housewife loses RM112,206 in scam
DUNGUN, May 27 — A housewife lost RM112,206 after being duped by a syndicate offering a non-existent job. Dungun police chief Superintendent Maizura Abdul Kadir said the 27-year-old victim saw a job offer advertised by a handicraft company on Facebook on May 19 and contacted the suspect on the Messenger application before providing her details for registration purposes. 'The suspect told the victim to make a payment of RM100 as an initial assignment investment. After which she was added to a WhatsApp group which offered huge commissions for every assignment,' she said in a statement today. Maizura said the victim then made 28 cash transactions into 10 different bank accounts totalling RM112,206 using her savings before realising that she had been scammed when the suspect refused to make a refund by claiming that the company's account had been frozen. 'The victim lodged a police report yesterday and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code,' she said. — Bernama

Woman loses RM109,000 to fake investment scheme
DUNGUN: A woman lost RM109,000 after falling victim to a non-existent investment scheme syndicate. Dungun police chief Superintendent Maizura Abdul Kadir said the victim, a clerk, came across a stock investment advertisement on Facebook in March and later contacted a person claiming to be an agent from an investment company via WhatsApp. "She was instructed to open an investment account and made two deposits totalling RM3,000. "However, after nearly two weeks without any returns, she was asked to download another app, MYCDTL, to supposedly receive the promised profits," Maizura said in a statement today. She said the victim then withdrew RM2,835.31 from the first account and transferred it to the MYCDTL account, along with an additional RM2,000 as investment. Between April and May, the victim made several transfers totalling RM109,000 into the MYCDTL account. Realising she had been scammed, she lodged a police report yesterday after failing to receive any returns. Maizura advised the public to verify investment opportunities through official platforms such as Semak Mule (CCID), Bank Negara Malaysia, and the Securities Commission before committing to any financial schemes. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. – BERNAMA
