What is more unfortunate is that the victim, who is still single and now unemployed, has made several payments to an account using money from her Employees Provident Fund account.
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."On July 22, the victim received a message from the suspect stating that he had arrived in Malaysia but was being detained at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport for quarantine purposes.
“The next day, the victim was contacted by a woman who pretended to be a government employee, asking the victim to settle the quarantine costs of her 'virtual contact’," he said in a statement Sunday .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.
"Then, the victim again made another payment of RM4,500 the following day as payment for the hospital treatment bill," he said. The victim lodged a police report after suspecting that she had been duped when the suspect still contacted her, asking for money for various other reasons. – Bernama
