JOHOR BARU: An unemployed woman lost RM380,000 over a period of a year after befriending a man who claimed to live in the United States through Facebook. The victim, who wanted to be known only as Lee, said she met the man known as Kenneth Cheung through Facebook in October last year. “After several weeks, Kenneth told me that he wanted to send me gifts in the form of jewellery, watches, lingerie and handphones worth a total of RM800 million. Over a period of one year, Lee made a total of RM380,000 in payments through numerous bank accounts. “In Lee’s case, we have provided the police with details of the accounts so that they can investigate,” said Chen.
