SUNGAI PETANI, Oct 25 — Police recently arrested six individuals, including four Bangladeshi men, suspected of being involved in an online gaming scam syndicate.
Kuala Muda police chief ACP Hanyan Ramlan said the syndicate, which operated from an abandoned hotel in Taman Lagenda near here, was believed to have been active since June.
“In a raid at 9.30pm on Wednesday (October 21), a team of officers and personnel from the Kuala Muda District Police Headquarters (IPD) Commercial Crime Investigation Division (CCID) arrested four Bangladeshi men aged between 20 and 53.
“The group targeted victims among the Bangladesh community. They are believed to have received salaries of about RM2,700 per month to carry out the activities,” he told a press conference at the Kuala Muda IPD here today.
Hanyan said further investigations led to the arrest of two Malaysian men aged 40 and 50 in a raid on Friday (October 23), adding that they were believed to be the premises owner and an agent who handled the process of renting the premises to the suspects.
The syndicate is believed to have handled online game credit top-ups and used a website and WhatsApp to communicate with customers.
“Customers’ withdrawals of their winnings were deliberately delayed, with the status shown as ‘pending withdrawal’, resulting in them not receiving the money.
“Based on preliminary information, about 17 customer accounts a day were believed to have encountered the problem, with estimated losses of around RM2,000 a day,” he said.
Hanyan said police seized various items, including 17 mobile phones, four computer processing units (CPUs), eight monitors, two modems, a laptop and RM2,442 in cash.
Further investigations are ongoing under Sections 420 and 120B of the Penal Code. — Bernama

双溪大年，10月25日讯——警方近日逮捕了六名涉嫌参与网络游戏诈骗团伙的人员，其中包括四名孟加拉国男子。
瓜拉姆达警区主任哈尼安·拉姆兰助理警监表示，该犯罪团伙以附近拉根达花园一家废弃的酒店为据点，据信自6月以来一直活跃至今。
“10 月 21 日星期三晚上 9 点 30 分，瓜拉姆达地区警察总部商业犯罪调查科 (CCID) 的警官和工作人员突袭了一起案件，逮捕了四名年龄在 20 岁至 53 岁之间的孟加拉国男子。
“该团伙以孟加拉社区的居民为目标。据信他们每月领取约2700令吉的薪水来实施这些活动，”他今天在瓜拉姆达警察局举行的新闻发布会上说。
汉彦表示，进一步调查导致两名年龄分别为 40 岁和 50 岁的马来西亚男子在周五（10 月 23 日）的突袭行动中被捕，并补充说，他们被认为是该处房产的所有者和负责将房产出租给嫌疑人的代理人。
据信该犯罪团伙从事网络游戏充值业务，并使用网站和 WhatsApp 与客户沟通。
“客户提款被故意拖延，状态显示为‘待提款’，导致他们无法收到奖金。
他说：“根据初步信息，每天约有 17 个客户账户遇到这个问题，估计每天损失约 2000 令吉。”
汉彦表示，警方查获了各种物品，包括 17 部手机、4 个电脑处理器 (CPU)、8 个显示器、2 个调制解调器、1 台笔记本电脑和 2442 令吉现金。
目前正根据《刑法》第420条和第120B条进行进一步调查。——马新社
