Former teacher loses over RM80,000 to TikTok shop scam
JERTIH: A former teacher lost more than RM80,000 after falling victim to a scam involving a fake offer to open a TikTok Shop. Besut police chief Supt Azamuddin Ahmad@Abu said the 67-year-old man came across the online business offer on Facebook on April 27. 'The victim was asked to send a copy of his MyKad and a selfie for account registration. Once the victim's alleged TikTok Shop was set up, he was required to make an initial capital deposit for the online shop. 'He then made the initial deposit and received a small return. The victim, who had grown increasingly confident, went on to deposit further capital, making 13 transactions in total to seven different bank accounts provided by the suspect, amounting to RM82,600,' he said. He added that after the final transaction last Sunday, the victim began to suspect he had been scammed when the suspect continued to demand more capital. 'The TikTok Shop is also believed to be fake as it was said to be using USD as the currency and, although orders frequently appeared in the system, no payments were ever received. 'The victim lodged a report yesterday. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code,' he said.

Police Bust International Drug Syndicate, Seize Drugs Worth Over RM82 Million
KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- Police busted an international drug trafficking syndicate with the arrest of three brothers, and seized various types of drugs worth over RM82 million in three separate raids in Kajang and Cheras on Thursday and Friday. Bukit Aman Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department (NCID) acting director DCP Mat Zani@Mohd Salahuddin Che Ali said in the first raid at a three-storey house in Taman Nadayu, Kajang at 4.30 pm on Thursday, police arrested three local men believed to be the syndicate's masterminds. 'At the time of the raid, the three men, aged between 27 and 39, were caught red-handed packing drugs. Further inspection of the house uncovered 830 packets of syabu (methamphetamine), 56 sacks containing syabu, a plastic basin containing syabu, and various drug-packing equipment,' he said during a press conference, here today. Mat Zani said interrogation of the three suspects led to two more raids at condominium units in Cheras at 1.15 am and 1.50 am the next day, and 95 packs of ketamine, three packets of syabu, and 81 packets of ecstasy powder were discovered. 'The total amount of drugs seized was 2.165 tonnes, comprising 1,986 kilogrammes of syabu, 82 kilogrammes of ecstasy powder, and 97 kilogrammes of ketamine, with an estimated market value of RM82.14 million,' he said. Mat Zani said police have also taken action under the Dangerous Drugs (Forfeiture of Property) Act 1988, and seized assets, including four cars owned by the suspects, valued at RM95,000. 'All suspects have been remanded for seven days until May 1 to assist investigations under Section 39(B) of the Dangerous Drugs Act,' he said. He revealed that this was the first seizure of drugs from Latin America, believed to have been intended for local distribution before being resold in South Korea and Japan. 'Based on preliminary information, syabu can fetch up to RM400,000 per kilogramme in South Korea and Japan, much higher than the local market price,' he said adding that initial investigations also revealed that the syndicate smuggled drugs via sea route by declaring them as 'plastic flakes' (raw material for plastic products).

Bukit Aman narcotics crime investigation department acting director Mat Zani @ Salahuddin Che Ali said police conducted three raids in Kajang and Cheras last week. He said the first raid at a three-storey house in Taman Nadayu, Kajang, on Thursday, led to the arrest of three Malaysian men believed to be the syndicate's masterminds.

'Syabu can fetch up to RM400,000 per kg in South Korea and Japan, much higher than the local market price,' he said. He added that initial investigations found that the syndicate smuggled drugs via sea routes by declaring them as 'plastic flakes', or raw material for plastic products. 'Police are still investigating the link between this syndicate, which has been active this year, and the drug syndicates in South America. We believe there are still members of this syndicate who remain at large,' said Mat Zani. He added that his team was in contact with foreign drug enforcement agencies, including the US Drug Enforcement Administration, to assist in investigations. 'We believe this is an attempt by South American drug syndicates to distribute their drugs here and use Malaysia as a transit point to third countries.'
