A retired nurse from Jitra became the latest victim to fall for the Love Scam, ending up not only with a broken heart but also losing RM210,000 of her hard-earned money in the process, police said today.

The suspect, who introduced himself as ‘Zang Lee Felix’ and claimed to be of English and Chinese/Korean parentage, as well as employed in an international shipping company, gained her sympathy when he told her he was a divorcee whose child had died in a road accident in England. He said sometime after that, the suspect told the victim that his business venture was reaping profits, but he required her help to release some of his goods that had been seized by the Customs Department at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport

He said if not for the intervention of family members, who found out she was applying for a personal loan, purportedly to deposit more money for her online lover, the victim would have lost more.

Over 1, 000 baby-dumping cases from 2010 to May 2019, 65% diedPETALING JAYA: More than 1, 000 babies have been dumped since 2010, says Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. Have a designated baby hatch built at every surau, church, temple at a secluded spot so that the 'baby dumpers' can leave the infant discreetly.
