GEORGE TOWN: An accountant has lost RM510,000 to a phone scam syndicate posing as Bank Negara, earlier this month. Lim said he then contacted the “Bank Negara” which purportedly confirmed that his personal particulars had been misused by other parties. He said he was also asked to provide all his banking details so that “Bank Negara” could freeze his accounts immediately. “I was even given a Bank Negara report number and was told that an officer would be in touch with me. “I have also forwarded my report to Bank Negara which has informed me that I had fallen victim to a syndicate,” he added.
