SIBU, April 13: A housewife thought she got a good deal for four Rolex watches but instead ended up losing over half a million ringgit to a scammer.
Sibu district police chief ACP Zulkipli Suhaili said that the 60-year-old victim, came into contact with the purported seller in early February.
He said the suspect offered to sell the watches for a total price of RM526,400.
“She was attracted by the deal and made nine payment transactions to one bank account starting from February 15 to 27,” he said.
