JOHOR BARU: A personal shopper claimed to have lost thousands of ringgit after discovering payment receipts made by a regular customer were falsified. “After receiving screencaps of conversations shared by the social media user, I became concerned and immediately reviewed my own transaction records,” said the 28-year-old. Upon checking her bank statements, Nur Aisyah discovered that several proof-of-payment screencaps sent by the customer for past purchases were allegedly fake. “Many people assume online sellers are protected, but in reality, personal shoppers take on significant financial risk,” she said. Meanwhile, Johor Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry director Lilis Saslinda Pornomo said personal shoppers or traders who believe they have been cheated are encouraged to lodge complaints with relevant authorities.
