A HOUSEWIFE in Seremban has incurred losses of nearly RM1.5 million after falling prey to a phone scam. The scam involved an individual posing as a police officer who contacted the victim over the phone.

Seremban police chief Mohamad Hatta Che Din reported that the incident resulted in losses amounting to RM1,491,832.82, and the police have received a report on the matter.

“The victim had received a phone call from an individual who introduced himself as a policeman and claimed that the victim had committed a crime,” he said in a statement today.

Hatta said the victim was later directed to make payment to several bank accounts that belonged unknown individuals.

He therefore, advised members of the public to always check with the police to avoid being scammed. – Bernama, January 21, 2024.

When a person gets scammed of their money while investing in a crypto currency platform the only thing they can think of is how to report the company and get back their money. Most victims of the scam contact their wallet account provider, their bank or the law enforcement, a few end up hiring a lawyer to sue the company but after all these stress they still can't get their money back.

  • I met and fell in love with a handsome man on an online dating site, but I was duped. I chose to look into him since he persisted in demanding money and other things, even though I couldn't see him. I was able to access his phone and all of his personal information from my home country because I contacted Redeemed Hacker-Pro, a hacking and digital asset recovery agency, to do a phone/system hack on his phone. Thanks to Redeemed Hacker Pro, I discovered after the hack that the handsome man I had met online was not who he claimed to be.
