KUALA TERENGGANU: A woman lost RM19,050 after falling victim to a fake investment scheme. Kuala Terengganu police chief Asst Comm Azli Mohd Noor said the 38-year-old victim came across an investment advertisement on Facebook on April 15. Drawn by the offer, the ayam gunting (cut chicken) trader contacted the suspect, who promised a profit of RM20,060 from an initial investment of only RM300. 'After making the first payment, two women known as Zaharah and Maznah asked the victim to make several more payments to access the promised returns. 'She then made six payments using her savings, pawned jewellery and took out a loan. 'However, after more than a month, she did not receive any returns,' ACP Azli said. The victim then lodged a police report at 8pm on Saturday after suspecting she had been cheated. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
