Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the 64-year-old woman in Bukit Jelutong here lodged a report yesterday.
He said the scam involved the receipt of a parcel. “To redeem the parcel, the woman transferred money through 12 transactions into 12 different accounts since May, as instructed,” Hussein said.
He urged the public not to be easily deceived by such scams and to avoid interacting with strangers on social media.
“Do not easily trust social media acquaintances. Verify before making financial transactions and confirm phone numbers and accounts at https://semakmule.rmp.gov.my,” he said.
