KUANTAN: A female lecturer lost RM132,000 in one day after she was cheated by scammers who told her that she was involved in drug-related activities. He added that a “female officer from the Melaka Magistrate’s Court” informed her that she had outstanding credit card payments. Although she denied the allegations, the victim was told to speak to a male suspect who introduced himself as “Inspector Mohd Yusuf”. Supt Mohd Wazir said after the victim followed instructions and she could no longer contact the “police officer”, she realised she had been duped. “The victim carried out money transfers five times into three accounts provided by the suspect, but did not get the loan she was promised,” said Supt Mohd Wazir.
