Police say the teacher became worried that he might have committed a serious offence and was also afraid the school might find out about it. Kedah Commercial Crime Investigation Department chief Elias Omar said on June 29, a 51-year-old teacher was conned over the phone by an individual claiming to be a Pos Malaysia worker.

After that, the victim was put in contact through the phone with another suspect, who introduced himself as Insp Chong, who offered to help the victim resolve the case but demanded a payment. Elias said the RM333,000 lost in the Macau scam was the highest recorded in Kedah this month and the case was being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.

“After several weeks, the man asked the victim to open a bank account to facilitate his business dealings in the country,” he said in a statement today.
