KUANTAN (Bernama): A housewife's excitement to receive gifts and cash from her social media acquaintance has turned into a nightmare after she incurred losses of more than RM60,000 in the process.

Pahang Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Supt Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said the 48-year-old victim from Maran was informed that the purported parcel meant for her was confiscated by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport .

"The victim claimed that her acquaintance had sent her US$50,000 worth of clothing, documents and cash on April 24, but the victim had to claim the package and pay a small fine as it contained cash. Supt Mohd Wazir said the victim started to suspect something amiss after realising that she had paid a huge amount in the last transaction on Sept 19, but still hoped that the"Customs officer" she was dealing with would contact her to release the parcel.

In a separate case, a 21-year-old youth lodged a report at the Temerloh IPD near here yesterday, for allegedly being cheated of RM4,450 after she purchased iPhone XS Max smartphone on a social media site.
