KUCHING, Oct 26: A 70-year-old company director in Kuching lost RM390,000 to an online investment scam.
In a statement today, Sarawak chief police Dato Mancha Ata said that in March of this year, the victim saw an advertisement on investment on Facebook and clicked on the link provided, which later added him to a WhatsApp application group.
He said the victim was later contacted by a suspect who was the group admin, explaining about the ‘Navik Investment’, which offers high return.
Captivated by the offers, the victim then made a deal with the suspect, where he later made multiple money transactions amounting to RM390,000 into a bank account given by the suspect.
“The victim only realised that he had been deceived when he did not receive any profit from the investment,” he added. — DayakDaily
