KUCHING (Jan 25): A 35-year-old local woman lost RM91,000 after falling victim to a non-existent investment scam.
Kuching district police chief ACP Alexson Naga Chabu said that on Jan 11, the victim was offered an investment scheme via the Telegram application by an unknown individual who promised lucrative returns.
“Interested in the offer, the victim was then instructed to transfer money into the account provided.
“She made five separate payments into five different bank accounts, totalling RM91,000,” he said in a statement.
