IPOH: A project manager in Taiping lost about RM382,000 after falling victim to a scam.

The 57-year-old victim nearly lost another RM100,000 to the scam syndicate as she was about to transfer the money to two different bank accounts when she spotted some irregular transactions.

Comm Mohd Yusri said the victim had given her personal and banking details, including passwords and PIN, to the scammers, who had claimed to be the police, in a phone call on Aug 18. “He said she had a parcel that contained 100 pieces of counterfeit notes, credit cards, MyKad and automated teller machine cards, from an unknown sender based in Kuching, Sarawak.

“She also gave copies of her salary slips, income tax statements, car loan, picture of her car, land grant, picture of her house and photographs of her jewellery, to the scammers,” he added.
