ISKANDAR PUTERI: A 40-year-old Grab driver was duped by his passenger over a purported financial loan. Iskandar Puteri OCPD Asst Comm Dzulkhairi Mukhtar said the victim had lost about RM49,000 to the 26-year-old suspect since July this year. “After hearing the victim’s intention, the suspect then requested for a processing payment, a deposit, and a fee to open an account. After questioning by officers from the Iskandar Puteri Commercial Crimes Investigations Unit, the suspect told police about the involvement of two others. Following investigations, he said, police believe at least 12 others had been duped by the suspects, who had been active since last year.
