KUCHING (Bernama): A trader suffered losses of RM192,000 after falling prey to bomoh scam syndicate members who claimed they could help her get rid of ghosts from her house. They also claimed they could perform prayers to exorcise the ghosts on condition she surrendered her savings to them. Mustafa said the suspect then gave the victim a package said to contain the victim's money and jewellery items that could only be opened after a week. The victim realised she had been deceived after discovering there were only two bottles of mineral water and four packets of soya bean drinks in the package. According to Mustafa, the suspect returned a black plastic bag and told the victim to keep the bag and not open it until 52 days later.
