It is reported that the 60-year-old woman received a text message from an unknown number on January 22. The sender claimed that she would be able to make huge profits by investing in a foreign exchange platform.
The elderly woman offered to invest, and she subsequently made 60 transactions to various accounts provided by the sender.
The woman lodged a police report the next day, saying she made 60 transactions across multiple accounts involving a total of RM3,460,000.
Nilai police chief Abdul Malik Hashim said the police have launched an investigation under Section 420 of the Penal Code and are working hard to find the suspect.
“We strongly urge the public not to be easily fooled by such offers. Please consult the relevant authorities, especially Bank Negara Malaysia, before transferring money to anyone,” he added.
