PETALING JAYA: Bukit Aman and their Singaporean counterparts dealt a huge blow to a scam syndicate that had reaped in profits of more than RM2mil from victims in both countries. Bukit Aman Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Comm Datuk Mohd Kamarudin Md Din said a joint raid by Singapore and Malaysian police in Johor led to the arrest of three suspected syndicate members. Victims were promised around RM200 to RM300 in daily income and were told to purchase items according to a given list. The syndicate is believed to be connected to 95 reports lodged in Singapore, with losses amounting to S$690,000 (RM2.1mil). “Efforts by both Malaysian and Singaporean police to trace the remaining members of the syndicate are under way,” he said.
