KUCHING: A 40-year-old woman has lost RM339,486 after she was allegedly defrauded by a non-existent stock investment scheme. Kuching police chief, ACP Alexson Naga Chabu, said the victim was enticed by an investment opportunity advertised on Facebook in December last year. "She received a link to download an investment application via the website naviscapital.co before being added to a WhatsApp investment group. "She then made a series of payments into three different company bank accounts, involving 22 online money transfers," he added in a statement issued on Sunday (Jan 18). Alexson explained that the victim realised she had been scammed when she was unable to withdraw the investment profits.
