SIBU: A retired civil servant here has lost over RM1.64mil in a Macau scam.

Acting Sibu OCPD Supt Dr Collin Babat said the victim received a call from a woman on Oct 27 who identified herself as an insurance agent.

"The suspect told her that she had an outstanding claim for an accident which happened in Selangor," he said. The call was then connected to a policeman, a"Sjn Razif", who threatened her by alleging she was involved in money-laundering activities. "The suspect offered to help her settle the case. However she was asked to open two bank accounts and give him permission to access the two accounts," said Supt Collin.

The victim did as she was instructed, transferring the money to the two accounts and then giving the suspect the account details on Nov 10."Her sister brought her to the bank where she was shocked to find that a total of 52 withdrawals totalling RM1.64mil had been made up to Dec 28," Supt Collin said.Article type: metered

52 withdrawals and the bank didn't call her to notify its suspicion? A bank staff may have been involved.

Authority should investigate how a civil servant have 1.6mil too

If you have not been doing anything shady, you won't be freaking out when you get a call from one of these scammers.

PDRM must look into its database to see if there're police reports against the victim regarding 'an outstanding claim for an accident which happened in Selangor' and money laundering. If such reports do indeed exist, then the BIG question is how did the scammer knew about them?
