SEREMBAN: A 30-year-old woman, who works as an engineer, has been duped of RM215,500 in a parcel scam. The victim, from Senawang near here, was scammed by a man who identified himself as "Ahmad Zikri" and claimed to be a Singaporean. Negri Sembilan commercial crime chief Supt Aibee Ab Ghani said the victim was first contacted by the man via Instagram on Jan 19. Supt Aibee said the victim then made several payments into four different bank accounts over a period of time, totalling RM215,500. He said the victim only realised that she had been cheated when she could no longer afford to make any more payments.
