Woman loses over RM80,000 in online investment scam

A 63-year-old housewife from Wakaf Tembusu lost RM87,975.04 to an online investment scam involving a fake scheme.

She was attracted by a Facebook advertisement promising high returns and contacted a suspect for details.

After making nine payments and failing to receive any profits, she reported the scam to the police.

KUALA TERENGGANU, Oct 19 — A 63-year-old housewife lost RM87,975.04 after being duped by an online investment scam involving a non-existent scheme.

Kuala Terengganu police chief ACP Azli Mohd Noor said the victim came across a stock investment advertisement on Facebook on Oct 3.

He said the woman was attracted to the scheme and contacted a male suspect via WhatsApp for more information.

“The suspect persuaded the victim to join the scheme by promising lucrative returns of RM25,000 for every RM450 invested.

“Blinded by the prospect of high returns, the victim made nine payments totalling RM87,975.04 using her savings and money obtained by pawning her jewellery between Oct 3 and 12,” he said in a statement today.

Azli said the victim suspected she had been cheated after failing to recover her initial investment or receive any profits. Her attempts to contact the suspect were also unsuccessful.

“The victim, who is from Wakaf Tembusu, Kuala Nerus, subsequently lodged a police report at 7.58 pm yesterday,” he said. — Bernama

瓜拉登嘉楼，10月19日讯——一名63岁的家庭主妇被一个根本不存在的网络投资骗局欺骗，损失了87975.04令吉。

瓜拉登嘉楼警区主任阿兹利·莫哈末·诺尔助理警监表示，受害者于10月3日在Facebook上看到了一则股票投资广告。

他说，这名女子被这个骗局吸引，并通过 WhatsApp 联系了一名男性嫌疑人以获取更多信息。

“嫌疑人向受害者承诺，每投资 450 令吉，就能获得 25,000 令吉的丰厚回报，以此诱使受害者加入该计划。

“受害人被高额回报的诱惑蒙蔽了双眼，在 10 月 3 日至 12 日期间，用自己的积蓄和典当珠宝所得的钱，分九次支付了总计 87,975.04 令吉，”他在今天的一份声明中说。

阿兹利表示，受害者怀疑自己被骗，因为她既没有收回最初的投资，也没有获得任何利润。她试图联系嫌疑人，但也没有成功。
