BESUT: A woman has been remanded for four days to assist in investigations into a phone scam in the district. Besut deputy police chief Deputy Superintendent Md Sani Md Saleh said the 37-year-old suspect was arrested at 2.30pm yesterday. "She has been remanded until July 18 to facilitate investigations under Section 420 of the Penal Code," he said. The woman was arrested following a report lodged on July 12 by an 18-year-old victim, who claimed to have lost RM140,000. The victim had received a call from three individuals on July 1, who introduced themselves as representatives of a company and the Perak police contingent headquarters. "She was deceived by the suspects, who impersonated enforcement personnel and accused her of being involved in fraud and money laundering activities. "Out of fear that her name had been misused and that she would be arrested, the victim handed over her mother's jewellery to an unknown woman at a supermarket on July 2," he said. The victim was promised the jewellery would be returned the same day, but was later told it had been kept by forensics for investigation. "She was then told she had to pay a bail sum of RM28,000 to reclaim the jewellery, but instead decided to file a report," Sani said. Sani urged members of the public who have fallen victim to online scams to lodge a report.
