KEPALA BATAS:A woman senior citizen lost RM136,000 in savings after she was cheated by a Macau Scam syndicate which claimed that she was involved in account bank sales for criminal use, in an incident, here, recently.
Seberang Perai Utara district police chief Noorzainy Mohd Noor said the victim, in her 70s, who was prior to this a factory clerk, initially received a call from an individual who claimed he was a ‘Pos Laju’ worker in Kuala Lumpur.
‘’The worker told her about a parcel under her name which contained eight automatic teller machine cards (ATM), which was an offence.
‘’The woman denied the package was hers as she had no knowledge at all about the delivery before the call was purportedly connected to a police officer at the Johor Police Contingent Headquarters,’’ he said in a statement today.
He said the man, who passed himself off as a police inspector, then told her that, an examination of her identity card, found her to be involved in selling bank accounts to a man at RM10,000 each, and that she had even received RM23 million from the syndicate.
Noorzainy said the man also told the victim that she was the main suspect in the case and urged her not to tell anybody about it as the case was still being investigated.
He said the woman, who was overcome with fear at being detained and charged under the law, obeyed the suspect’s instructions, namely, to transfer her money into accounts given by the syndicate purportedly to be checked by the authorities.
‘’The victim made seven transactions to transfer RM136,000 into four different accounts allegedly for investigation by the authorities including the Audit Department, on her case,’’ he added.
He said the victim only realised that she had been cheated after the suspect continue to contact her to ask for money, prompting her to tell her family.
According to Noorzainy, the victim lodged a police report yesterday on the incident and police were conducting further investigations including detecting the syndicate under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
