A private company manager lost RM401,075 after falling victim to a non-existent online investment scheme.

KUALA LUMPUR: A 56-year-old woman was duped twice by the same forex investment scam, losing more than RM600,000 in total.

"In February , the same company emailed the victim, claiming that they could assist her to recoup her losses. Comm Ramli said the victim saw an online advertisement for the investment scheme and clicked on a link in January. "She was also instructed to download an application. Enticed by the offer of up to 30% returns, the woman transferred RM1.2mil to the company's bank account in six transactions," he said.
