KUALA LUMPUR: A 90-year-old woman has lost RM3.83 million to men posing as policemen in a Macau scam.
The woman complied with the union’s instructions to transfer her savings in batches to seven different companies between April 20 and June 15.
Petaling Jaya District Police Chief Nik Ezanee Mohd Faisal said the woman had allegedly received a phone call from Pos Laju, saying there was a package for her sent from Ipoh to Sabah with her details.
He said the victim’s call was later connected to a local man claiming to be a sergeant named Ho Mum Foo whose senior officer was called Inspector Herman Lee from the Commercial Crimes Investigation Department at the headquarters of the Police Contingent in Perak.
Nik Ezanee said that two local men aged 36 and 43 who are believed to be involved in this case were arrested at a restaurant in Shah Alam, Selangor. Three mobile phones were confiscated and the suspects were detained for four days since last Friday.
He said the union generally targeted the elderly who were least exposed to information about cybercrime.
