The victim was told to open new bank accounts and then destroy and discard the three ATM cards, police said.
The woman transferred money from her EPF and bank account amounting to RM881,000 and RM300,000 respectively into three new bank accounts which were cleaned out by an unknown person. Sarawak police commissioner Azman Ahmad Sapri said she received a phone call on May 22 from an unknown man from Putrajaya who claimed she had registered a phone number in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, to slander the health ministry.
“She was told that Bank Negara wanted to check her funds and she was required to transfer the money to new bank accounts for the investigation,” he said in a statement today.
