KEPALA BATAS: Two Penangites have fallen victim to Macau scams, with over RM650,000 in total lost to fraudsters.

According to North Seberang Prai OCPD Asst Comm Noorzainy Mohd Noor, the victim received a call from a bogus police inspector from Bukit Aman, who accused the victim of being involved in money laundering and drug trafficking.

The victim revealed his bank account information to the scammer and later realised he had been duped after RM153,180 was transferred to four different accounts. In SEBERANG JAYA, a senior citizen lost more than half a million ringgit to scammers pretending to be police officers. The victim was then transferred to another man claiming to be a police sergeant in Kuantan, who told her that she would be investigated for money laundering.
