SHAH ALAM (Feb 4): Selangor police have crippled an online scam syndicate offering part-time jobs and investments to victims overseas, following separate raids on three premises in Kajang, Seri Kembangan and Puchong last month. Selangor police chief Datuk Shazeli Kahar said the integrated operation conducted by the Selangor Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID), together with several district police headquarters, led to the arrest of 20 individuals, including a Malaysian, aged between 25 and 36. He added that police also seized 42 mobile phones, 20 computers, four mobile WiFi units, two laptops, two modems and a router worth RM85,000. "The syndicate, which has been operating since last December, targeted Australians and Italians with online part-time job offers,” he said. In the third raid, conducted in Bandar Puteri, Puchong, on Jan 28, five foreigners — four men and a woman — aged between 25 and 36 were detained.
