Question

Accepted Answer

Four bank accounts were used to receive funds from a civil servant who was defrauded of RM150,600.

A 46-year-old civil servant lost RM150,600 after falling victim to a phone scam. The syndicate used four different bank accounts to receive the funds transferred by the victim. The scam began when the woman received a call from someone posing as personnel from a courier service.
Initial Contact and Escalation

The incident started last Friday when the victim received a phone call from an individual claiming to be from a courier service. This caller stated that a package containing her personal belongings was in their possession. The call was subsequently transferred to another individual who identified themselves as a police officer.
Accusations and Demands for Payment

The individual posing as a police officer accused the victim of being involved in money laundering and threatened her with arrest. To resolve this alleged case, the victim was instructed to make payments. She was directed to pawn her jewellery and subsequently make online transfers to settle the fabricated charges.
Financial Losses and Police Report

The victim proceeded to make 34 online transfers, totalling RM150,600, into four separate bank accounts as instructed by the scammers. After realising she had been defrauded, she filed a police report yesterday. The case is currently being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
