MELAKA: A 50-year-old female teacher made a desperate move to secure personal loans from two financial institutions after getting threats from a Macau scam syndicate.

Melaka Commercial Crime chief Supt E. Sundra Rajan said the teacher’s ordeal started on Oct 4 after receiving a call from a fraudster claiming she had applied for insurance withdrawal amounting to RM78,000 in four occasions.

Supt Sundra said the victim was then connected to an individual claiming to be a police officer from the Jalan Pudu police station in Kuala Lumpur. “The con men told her that she only needed to transfer the money to court once she was charged,” he said, adding that the victim needed to apply at the two separate banks due to her high loan quantum.

He said the victim was also asked to reveal her banking details to the so-called police officers to “prove” she had enough money to pay the bail.
