TWO women were among six individuals, including a Chinese national, arrested on suspicion of being involved in online fraud activities around Kajang, Selangor, yesterday.

Kajang district police chief Mohd Zaid Hassan said the suspects, aged 25 to 38, were detained at a house.

Police also seized 19 mobile phones, four laptops, two internet routers and a set of house keys.

He said an investigation found that the call centre was conducting fraudulent online activities by offering non-existent stock investments in China.

“This syndicate uses fake snowball finance accounts on Xueqiu, which is one of the most popular financial social networks among investors in China, to find victims in that country and then offer online investments,” he said in a statement today.

Zaid reminded the public not to work with online fraud syndicates.

He also urged those with any information related to the call centre activities to contact the Kajang district police headquarters hotline at 03-8911 4242. – Bernama, June 14, 2023.
