MELAKA, Jan 11 — Seven syndicate members of a mule account running scams offering jobs and investment opportunities that did not exist, involving RM466,380.25 in losses, were arrested in an operation dubbed “Op Akaun Palsu”.Melaka police chief, Datuk Abdul Majid Mohd Ali said all the suspects, aged 21 to 40 years, including a local unmarried couple and a Vietnamese woman were arrested in Alor Gajah, Seri Kembangan and Kajang in Selangor and Kepong in Kuala Lumpur on January 4 and 5.
“In this case, the victim who is a gardener aged 30, was given a one-off commission of between RM300 and RM400 for each bank account. The victim had already surrendered his two ATM cards and PIN numbers to the suspect. This made the victim suspicious and he lodged a police report on January 3, with the case investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating.“We believe the syndicate which involved in cross-border fraud has been active since last October and being masterminded by a Chinese national who is still being hunted.
Abdul Majid said the initial investigation also revealed that all the local suspects had criminal records involving fraud and drugs.
