KUALA LUMPUR: The Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) has warned the public against Macau scam syndicates posing as tax officers, as there have been 556 cases recorded so far this year. Based on information from the Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) Macau scam cases involving scammers who posed as LHDN officers have resulted in RM15.26mil in losses from Jan 1 and May 27 this year. "The scammers will call victims and claim to be LHDN officers and tell them that their business or company has unpaid taxes. LHDN urged the public to verify any phone call, email or letter said to be from them. "They can either call Hasil care line or LHDN officers, whose numbers can be obtained via the LHDN website (www.hasil.gov.my) or go to the nearest LHDN office for verification.
