Love scam: Woman in Kelantan loses RM11,700 to pay for ‘Covid-19 quarantine, treatment costs’

KOTA BARU, Aug 1 — A woman in her 30s lost RM11,700 after falling victim to a love scam to pay for her ‘virtual lover’s’ quarantine and treatment costs in May.

Kelantan Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Supt Ahmad Azizul Mohamed said in the report made by the victim on July 28, the woman stated that she had virtually befriended the suspect who allegedly was from Eastern Europe. The suspect had told the victim he would come to Malaysia to get to her know her better.

He said the victim had made a payment of RM5,200 to a local bank account belonging to a woman. On July 26, the victim made another payment of RM2,000 to the same bank account as a hospital treatment deposit for the suspect who was said to have tested positive for Covid-19.
