The RM60,000 Advance Payment Was For A Supposed Marriage

A 28-year-old government officer made an advance payment of RM60,000 to a woman he met online, intended for their supposed upcoming marriage. The victim reported the incident after realising he had been defrauded. The payments were made over a period of three years, with a significant portion of the funds being borrowed from a financial institution.
Online Relationship and Proposal

The victim and the woman, identified only as “Aishah,” first connected on Facebook in November 2017. Their communication evolved over three years, moving from Facebook to WhatsApp. During this period, the victim proposed marriage, and the suspect accepted his proposal.
Request for Wedding Advance Payments

Following the agreement to marry, the suspect requested that the victim transfer money into her account as an advance payment for the wedding arrangements. The victim complied with these requests, making multiple payments.
Total Amount and Borrowed Funds

The victim continued to transfer funds as demanded by the suspect until early April 2019, at which point the total amount transferred reached RM60,000. It was noted that a substantial part of this sum was obtained through a loan from a financial institution.
