Police: Public duped out of over RM57m by scammers impersonating authorities from Jan-Sept this year

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 — The police have recorded 1,421 impersonation scam cases through telephone calls nationwide, from January to September 15 this year, involving losses of RM57,372,102.

“The victims who are duped by the claims would be directed to surrender their banking information such as user passwords, ATM card numbers and transaction authorisation code numbers to the syndicates on the pretext of investigations by the authorities. He said the syndicates would promise the return of the money after several days but the victims only realised they have cheated when they fail to get back their money.

The police only communicate via telephones to make appointments and conduct further businesses at the government offices concerned and would not ask for any personal information such as banking passwords or amount of money in the bank via telephone calls, he said.
