POLICE have arrested five men and a woman, who they said were part of a group offering online jobs as sales agents, following a raid on a condominium on Jalan Ceylon, Kuala Lumpur, yesterday.

Dang Wangi police chief Noor Dellhan Yahaya said the raid on the condo, which was used as a call centre and had been operating for one month, was carried out at 5.25pm.

“The group was offering jobs on social media platforms to sell goods online, with the victim receiving the goods on the first purchase but then receives nothing when subsequently buying in bulk, while the group cuts contact after receiving the money,” he said in a statement today.

Noor Dellhan said police also seized 29 mobile phones, five computers, five processors and a laptop during the raid.

The suspects, ages 19 to 26, have been remanded until Friday, and the case is being investigated under section 420 of the penal code for cheating. – Bernama, August 11, 2022.
