KUANTAN: A woman lost RM24,780 after being sweet-talked by a male acquaintance she got to know over social media two years ago. Pahang Commercial Criminal Investigation Department chief Supt Mohd Wazir Mohd Yusof said the 36-year-old victim also gave her Automated Teller Machine (ATM) bank card to the suspect who is supposedly a Datuk. "The victim said they got acquainted around October 2017, and the suspect wanted to borrow money he claimed was for his oil and gas business deal. "She made monetary transactions into the account number given by the suspect. "She then sent an ATM card to the suspect by mail in February 2018 and only realised that she might have been deceived after failing to contact the suspect recently,” he told reporters here today.
