Negeri Sembilan records fewer online crime cases and lower losses

Online crime cases in Negeri Sembilan decreased by 10 per cent to 2,539 as of September, with financial losses dropping by RM33.58 million.

E-commerce fraud cases increased by 24 per cent, while non-existent loan cases rose by 11 per cent compared to last year.

Public awareness and strategic collaborations helped reduce cases and losses, but e-commerce fraud requires urgent measures, encouraging public vigilance and use of resources like the NSRC hotline.

SEREMBAN, Oct 20 — Online crime cases in Negeri Sembilan dropped by 268, or 10 per cent, to 2,539 as of September this year, compared with 2,807 cases in the corresponding period last year, while financial losses dropped by RM33.58 million to RM39.86 million.

However, Negeri Sembilan police chief Datuk Alzafny Ahmad said e-commerce fraud cases rose by 24 per cent to 828, compared with 667 in the corresponding period last year, while cases involving non-existent loans increased by 11 per cent to 404 from 365.

“Investment scam cases fell by 20 per cent to 298 from 374, while total losses declined by RM24.50 million, or 66 per cent.

“Phone scam cases also fell by 28 per cent to 784 from 1,095, with losses amounting to RM7.24 million,” he said in a statement here today.

Alzafny attributed the decline in cases and financial losses to public awareness programmes, enforcement efforts and strategic collaborations, particularly those targeting phone scams and investment fraud, which had previously accounted for a significant proportion of cases and losses.

However, he said the increase in e-commerce fraud cases required urgent attention and stronger preventive measures to curb the upward trend.

He advised the public to remain vigilant and verify information before conducting transactions. He also urged them to use available resources, including the National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) hotline at 997 and the Semak Mule portal, to help protect themselves from scams. — Bernama

截至9月，森美兰州的网络犯罪案件减少了10%，至2539起，经济损失减少了3358万令吉。

与去年相比，电子商务欺诈案件增加了 24%，而虚假贷款案件增加了 11%。

公众意识和战略合作有助于减少案件和损失，但电子商务欺诈需要采取紧急措施，鼓励公众提高警惕并利用国家安全风险控制热线等资源。

芙蓉，10月20日讯——截至今年9月，森美兰州的网络犯罪案件数量较去年同期下降了268起，降幅达10%，至2539起，而去年同期为2807起；与此同时，经济损失也下降了3358万令吉，至3986万令吉。

然而，森美兰州警察总长拿督阿尔扎夫尼·艾哈迈德表示，电子商务欺诈案件比去年同期增加了 24%，达到 828 起，而去年同期为 667 起；涉及不存在的贷款的案件也增加了 11%，从 365 起增加到 404 起。

“投资诈骗案件从 374 起下降了 20%，至 298 起，而总损失减少了 2450 万令吉，降幅达 66%。

“电话诈骗案件也下降了28%，从1095起降至784起，损失金额达724万令吉，”他今天在此间发表的一份声明中说。

阿尔扎夫尼将案件数量和经济损失的下降归功于公众意识宣传计划、执法工作和战略合作，特别是针对电话诈骗和投资欺诈的行动，这些诈骗和投资欺诈此前占案件和损失的很大一部分。

但他表示，电子商务欺诈案件的增加需要紧急关注和更强有力的预防措施来遏制这一上升趋势。

他建议公众保持警惕，并在进行交易前核实信息。他还敦促公众利用现有资源，包括拨打国家防诈骗中心（NSRC）热线997和访问Semak Mule门户网站，以帮助保护自己免受诈骗侵害。——马新社
