19-year-old loses RM62,000 to phone scam
JERTIH: A 19-year-old lost RM62,000 after being duped by a phone scam syndicate on Thursday (June 26). Besut district police chief Supt Azamuddin Ahmad @ Abu said the unemployed teenager answered a phone call from an individual who introduced himself as a representative from Touch 'n Go headquarters in Kuala Lumpur. 'The individual claimed that the victim's father had a RM25,000 summons related to a Touch 'n Go account. The call was then supposedly connected to the Perak police contingent headquarters, where the victim spoke to a (fake) police officer. 'The victim was further shocked when she was told that a bank account opened in her father's name was involved in a money laundering and drug case,' he said in a statement on Friday (June 27). Azamuddin said the suspect asked the victim to pay RM60,000 if she wanted to clear her father's name. Because she was afraid, the victim sold jewellery belonging to her mother, a retired teacher, to get money for the payment. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating. – Bernama
