IPOH: A 72-year-old retiree in Kerian lost RM485,000 after falling victim to a parcel scam.

Perak police chief Comm Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said the woman, a retiree from a private sector initially received a call from an individual claiming to be from a courier company regarding a package that was unable to be delivered on Aug 4.

Comm Mohd Yusri said when the victim denied the matter, the suspect connected the call to another individual claiming to be a police officer from the Ipoh Police District headquarters, and the call was later transferred to a third suspect who claimed to be from Bukit Aman. “The victim became scared, and followed the instructions of the scammers, by transferring her savings into a bank account provided to avoid her account being frozen.

Comm Mohd Yusri said from Aug 8 until Sept 6, the victim had carried out 34 transactions at a bank’s ATM machine in Kerian, and in Nibong Tebal in Penang to 11 different accounts.
