Scam and fraud cases are rising these days. Recently, a woman in Pahang lost over RM70000 because of a scam. So, what should you know about it?
For your information, Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the victim claimed to have received a WhatsApp message about a Bitcoin investment scheme on Jan 10. Lured by the promise of big returns, the victim withdrew her savings and contacted the suspect. As a result, the suspect instructed her to make 25 online money transfers to seven accounts for investment purposes.
In addition, the police chief said the victim realised that it was a scam when she received nothing in return. That led her to file a report at the police station in Cameron Highlands yesterday. Yahaya also advised everyone to be more vigilant and wary of such cases. He added that everyone can verify account and phone numbers at semakmule.rmp.gov.my before making a transaction.
