Police nab 5 South Americans for stealing RM1.66mil in jewellery at KLIA

SHAH ALAM: Police arrested five South American men who allegedly stole diamonds and jewellery worth RM1.66mil from six Hong Kong jewellers at the KL International Airport (KLIA) on Monday.

Selangor CID chief SAC Mohd Adnan Abdullah said the thefts occurred in two separate cases at the departure hall of the airport after the jewellers, who took part in the just concluded international jewellery fair in Kuala Lumpur from July 7 to 10, were distracted.

He said the jewellers were waiting for their flights home when the jewel thieves struck.

In the first incident at about 8am, a jeweller, who was responsible for three bags of diamond and jewellery worth RM257,040 discovered two of the bags on a trolley were missing seconds after he was approached by a South American man.

The South American man patted the jeweller on the shoulder and asked him some questions that he could not understand, Mohd Adnan told a news conference here on Friday.

In the second incident at 8.45am, a jeweller, who was waiting for his colleague and had ordered food at a fast food restaurant, found one of two bags of diamond and jewellery worth RM1.4mil beside him had been replaced by another bag minutes after he was greeted by a South American woman.

Mohd Adnan said the replacement bag contained several clothing items and wigs.

He said the police arrested four male suspects aged between 25 and 50 in a hired car at 6.20pm on Tuesday outside a supermarket in Petaling Jaya and a 32-year-old suspect at a restaurant in Sunway at 12.20am on Wednesday.

The police were tracking the other suspects but had yet to recover the loot, he said, adding that the five South American suspected were remanded until Sunday to facilitate investigations. - Bernama

Amnesty scam

Tuesday June 7, 2011

By SIRA HABIBU and STEVEN DANIEL
newsdesk@thestar.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR: Several companies claiming to represent the Home Ministry are under probe by the ministry for collecting money to legalise illegal immigrants.

It is learnt that some of the companies were collecting about RM800 per illegal immigrant under the Government's 6P programme which is a large scale legalisation and amnesty exercise to reduce the number of illegal immigrants in Malaysia, estimated at about two million.

Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the unscrupulous companies are being blacklisted as the ministry had not authorised any company or agent to collect money under the programme.

“The police and the Special Branch are already hot on the heels of the errant companies,'' he told The Star.

“I know it is happening. We will not tolerate this. If they collect money up front, out they go.

“We are blacklisting the errant companies, no matter how good or capable they are,'' he said.

The 6P programme which is aimed at registering, legalising, pardoning, monitoring, enforcing and deporting illegal immigrants, is expected to be finalised by the Cabinet Committee on Foreign and Illegal Workers which is scheduled to meet soon.

On Monday, The Star which reported on the amnesty exercise, had said that under the programme, illegal immigrants could return to their country without being prosecuted. They, however, must first have their thumbprints recorded and stored in the Immigration Department database.

Hishammuddin said the ministry was in the process of screening several agencies interested in participating in the programme to help register illegal workers.

“We are starting with the biometric system, as we can use thumbprints to register illegal immigrants. We can track their movement, like the duration of stay in the country.

“We can also use the system to track those who returned to the country under a different name after deportation,'' he said, adding that documents could be forged, but not fingerprints.

He said the programme that was mooted 18 months ago would be implemented in a month's time.

“We are venturing into a new territory, that require much efforts from the right agencies in the right working environment,” he said, adding that other countries could emulate the Malaysian model to check human trafficking and other transborder crimes such as money laundering, drug trafficking, arms smuggling and terrorism.

“We can have all the basic information that can be shared by any agencies. We can share the information among other countries, and not only with Interpol,'' he said.

傳真中獎證書詐財
3人中招失3萬

獨家報導:蘇美燕

(仁嘉隆15日訊)國際電話老千集團詐財新招,向獵物出示“香港電器公司幸運抽獎”的“中獎證書”,引君入瓮,3人包括1名大學生不幸中招,共被騙走約3萬令吉,欲哭無淚!

老千首先假稱是某電器公司高層,打電話給受害者,恭喜他們被該公司抽中,贏得38萬港元(約11萬8582令吉)。

接著,老千會把香港特別行政區政府發出的“機密文件”副本,傳真方式給受害者。

這張A4紙大小的“中獎證書”寫著受害者的身分資料,獎金登記編號及獎金額,並附有香港法院法令核准及限期領取,否則這筆獎金將被涷結。

印有港稅務局印章

此外,該證書還印有香港特區稅務局印章,稅務局督察及稽查員簽名,地址為香港灣仔告士道5路稅務大廈。

老千集團最近在仁嘉隆行騙,至少已有3名居民中招,受害者分別有大學生、家庭主婦和專業人士。

老千在取信於受害人後,後以需要手續費為由,要求受害者匯錢入該公司戶頭,受害者初時不疑有詐而照辦,不料對方過後一直催促他們再匯錢,他們起疑,方知上了老千大當。

其中一名受騙的家庭主婦鄭春紅,今天向仁嘉隆村長陳貞興投訴,並通過《中國報》揭發老千詐財伎倆,以免其他人受騙。

另一方面,仁嘉隆警局主任巴哈魯丁曹長,吁請受騙的村民向警方投報,以協助當局調查工作。

慈善當幌子.合約騙商家 熱心夫婦捲600萬

慈善當幌子.合約騙商家
熱心夫婦捲600萬

(安順15日訊)平日熱心捐獻神廟、學校的“慈善教育家”夫婦,搖身一變成為“政府合約”老千;5名商家各被騙可獲取政府保留地、水果、雜貨供應合約或水利工程等,損失共600萬令吉。

其中一名商家更被騙高達518萬方令吉,他全以現款分批繳給上述夫婦,以獲取1億1000萬令吉水利工程,但最后有關承諾沒有被實現。

受害者皆年過半百

下霹靂警區主任伍國樑助理總監指出,警方已接獲5名受害者的報案,警方高度關注此宗下霹靂區有史以來最大宗的欺騙案。

被騙者都是分成數次繳付或匯款給嫌犯,受害者皆是年齡50歲以上的華裔,其中一人更高齡73歲。

伍國樑今日在商業犯罪調查組鄭潤華助理警監陪同下,召開記者會。

他說,男嫌犯曾在其他地區涉及7宗欺騙案,搬來安順百利宛附近的柏加沙花園租住已有約11年。

伍氏說,相信還有另外3名或更多商家被騙,他促請受害者向警方投報,以助展開調查。

他說,警方援引刑事法典第420條文(欺騙)調查此案,嫌犯若罪成,可被判坐牢最少1年,最高10年並施以鞭笞及可被罰款。

經常上門拜訪

他說,嫌犯通常會想方設法靠近目標人物,並博取受害者信任,甚至會攜帶家人經常與受害人吃飯或上門拜訪,拉近感情。

嫌犯會在有意無意間展露出財物及奢侈作風,包括經常捐款給神廟及學校,在受害人前展示“闊綽”作風。

他說,嫌犯會在“無意間”透露有“發財門路”,指有特殊管道可獲得政府保留地或工程,以引起受害者的注意及興趣。

為獲取該地段或工程,必須給涉及的官員“台底錢”,受害人相信后就委托嫌犯為代理人,並逐步匯款或直接交現款給嫌犯。

相交6年朋友竟是老千
商人心痛被騙感情

獨家報導:蔡耀樑

“沒有想到相交6年的好朋友夫婦竟是大老千,我不只損失錢財,心里也很傷痛!”

一名商家向《中國報》指出,他與涉案夫婦是非常要好的朋友,兩家人經常吃飯、喝茶見面及上門拜訪,感情非常要好。

該名不願名字樣貌見報的商家說,在知悉被騙鉅款后,不只心痛錢財損失,心里也似被重擊一般。

他說,有段日子他幾乎頭痛欲裂,瀕臨患上憂鬱症,所幸最后在朋友勸告下想通了,只好接受事實。

他說,在偶然機會下認識嫌犯,之后相交甚好,嫌犯經常帶同妻子及3名孩子,與他的家人一起相約吃飯,也時經互相上門拜訪。

他說,嫌犯也經常熱心捐獻給神廟、學校等,每次“出手”都是動輒5000令吉以上,一二萬令吉的捐獻,面不改色。

“他常以無名氏方式捐款,指幕后有來自紅土坎的大老板,有許多工程及‘門路’, 是老板的代理人。”

他說,嫌犯為人很鎮定及好口才,以他從商20餘年的經驗,都未有發覺到有蹊蹺之處,在“偶然”下,嫌犯介紹他“購買”一塊政府保留地,唯需一筆錢來周旋。

據他知悉,“合股”的約有4人,包括嫌犯本身,但后者沒有透露他人身分及入股的真正數目。

他說,嫌犯經常帶他到各政府部門或機構處,但每次只有嫌犯進入主管辦事處,他受指示在外面等候,不要露面。

他說,年前發覺事情開始不對勁,他向嫌犯要求退股,在多番周旋下,嫌犯有歸還部分款項,但仍有逾半款項追討不回。

他拒絕透露損失多少錢財,他將在日內報案。

偷信換晶片盜刷百萬 破不法集團.7郵差落網

破不法集團.7郵差落網

(吉隆坡12日訊)假卡真晶片,真卡假晶片;不法集團偷天換日,盜刷百萬令吉!

不法集團和郵局職員勾結,盜取銀行寄給用戶的新信用卡郵件,盜走真晶片后,再把信用卡換上假晶片,“如常”寄給用戶。

用戶收到新卡並“啟動”后,持有真晶片假卡的不法集團便能進行盜刷,瘋狂購物,賬卻算在用戶頭上。

吉隆坡警方近日在大破此假卡集團,在市內逮捕13人,包括7名郵差及1名國民登記局官員;初步調查,他們由2009年至今至少犯下11宗案件,盜刷了逾百萬令吉。

受害者不知情啟動信用卡

吉隆坡副總警長拿督阿馬星今日在蕉賴警區舉行的記者會上說,假卡集團會購買大量的名牌電子產品及高級時尚服飾物品等,再轉售牟利。

他說,警方于本月1日至9日期間,成功在巴生谷一帶搗破這個由至少13人組成的假卡集團。

“此假卡集團是通過郵差盜走銀行所寄出的信用卡郵件,再透過該國民登記局官員核對身分后,取出原有信用卡的真晶片,換入假晶片,再將此信用卡寄給受害者。”

阿馬星說,受害者在收到假晶片信用卡后,在不知情的情況下啟動信用卡,使假卡集團得以盜刷;受害者收到月結單后,才驚覺被盜刷。

他說,該13名嫌犯中,2人為華裔男子、8人是巫裔男子、華、巫、印裔女子各一名。他們年齡介于25歲至40歲,除了7人是郵差及1人是國民登記局官員,其余5人都是無業。警方也還在追查余黨下落。

他說,警方在此行動中起獲由多間銀行發出的的10張信用卡、11封遭郵差“騎劫”的信用卡郵件及19架各款手機。

Credit cards stolen from the mail and used for fraud

Credit cards stolen from the mail and used for fraud
By AUSTIN CAMOENS
austin@thestar.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR: A group of seven postmen intercepted letters containing credit cards, switched the microchips of the cards with fake ones and then delivered them to the applicants.

The postmen, with the help of other syndicate members, then used the cards with the original microchips to go on a spending spree.

The syndicate that has been operating since 2009 chalked up close to RM1mil in purchases.

City deputy police chief Senior Assistant Commissioner (SAC) Datuk Amar Singh said police got wind of the syndicate after they arrested one of its members in the act of stealing a credit card at the Shamelin post office last week.

“The postmen would intercept the new credit cards in the mail and switch the microchips with fake ones before repacking the mail and sending them to the applicants,” he told a press conference at the Cheras police headquarters yesterday.

SAC Amar said the syndicate also had the help of a National Registration Department (NRD) officer who supplied them with the names of the mothers of the real credit card applicants.

The names would be needed to activate the cards.

He added that the syndicate members would then go on a spending spree before the applicant reports the unauthorised use of the cards.

“After questioning the suspect, we arrested the rest of the syndicate, including the NRD officer, and seized 10 credit cards and credit card letters.

“The syndicate had racked up between RM500,000 and RM1mil in credit card charges for purchases of luxury items including electronic goods,” he said.

He added that police had already connected the syndicate to 11 cases within the Klang Valley, but believe that they were involved in many more cases.

SAC Amar said the case was being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for fraud.

“We are also in talks with banks and credit card companies to find a more fool-proof way to get credit cards to the rightful owners in future,” he said.

看準人性弱點 銀行用戶防遭網釣

看準人性弱點
銀行用戶防遭網釣

報導:李玉萍

隨著科技越來越發達,欺詐手法也愈來愈日新月異,除了電話和手機短訊,加上網絡經濟迅速增長,線上的欺詐案也不斷發生。

據大馬電子保安機構(Cyber Security Malaysia)報告,去年我國的網絡欺詐案多達1426宗,比2009年的624宗倍增,大馬更是網絡欺詐目標的十大國家之一。

我國最常見的網絡欺詐案,莫過于冒充網絡銀行的網站,騙取用戶的帳號和密碼,再偷龍轉鳳把錢匯走,但用戶每每發現時卻已為時甚晚。

究竟不法之徒如何利用人性的弱點,從而讓這些網絡銀行欺詐案層出不窮?但身為網絡銀行用戶的你,絕對有辦法杜絕欺詐案的發生。

銀行從來不會透過電話、手機短訊或電郵向顧客索取任何個人私密資料。
國家銀行發佈的“2010年財務穩定與支付系統報告”透露,網絡銀行服務越來越受落,國民去年通過電腦完成的銀行交易總值高達1兆令吉,更從比09年的6999億令吉激增35%。

網絡銀行交易如此可觀的數據,卻也惹來不法之徒覬覦,大肆透過“網釣”(Phishing)方式騙取用戶的私密資料。

上述報告透露,“網釣”是網絡銀行的主要威脅,佔網絡銀行欺詐案的98%。

從電郵開始

“網釣”先以電郵展開網路欺詐的第一步,發出數百萬封看似銀行發出的電郵。

因為騙徒的經驗愈來愈豐富,製作的欺詐電郵和快顯視窗也愈見精良。

這些電郵和視窗通常會具有來自相關銀行、外型幾可亂真的標誌,及其他直接取自網站的識別資訊,往往讓許多用戶信以為真。

沒有防備的用戶一旦回應這些電郵,便會洩露銀行戶頭號碼、密碼、或其他個人資料。

騙徒可能會使用用戶的戶頭非法過賬到其他銀行、甚至購物、申請信用卡等。

詐騙電郵通常會表達出急迫感,加入像“如果您不在48小時內回應,您的戶頭將會關閉”的句子,好讓你在不經思考的情況下直接回應。

詐騙電郵甚至會威脅要關閉或暫停你的戶頭,也可能表示需要你的回應,因為戶頭已被入侵等等。

國內各大銀行除了紛紛加強網絡銀行交易系統的保安措施,也不勝其煩提醒顧客,切勿掉入不法之徒設下的陷阱。

網絡銀行用戶必需緊記的是,銀行從來不會透過電話、手機短訊或電郵,向你索取任何戶頭號碼、個人密碼或信用卡的資料。

對于這些來歷不明的電郵,千萬不要因為一時好奇而回應,或在假冒的網站鍵入個人資料。

若發現可疑電郵,用戶除了可致電相關銀行查詢,也可把相關郵件轉發給大馬電子保安機構cyber999@cybersecurity.my。

該機構在國內已揭發至少900個,把目標瞄向國內銀行的假網站,由此可見網絡銀行欺詐案的猖獗。

網釣偷資料愿者上鉤

用戶不要在公共場所如網咖,或人多的地方使用網絡銀行服務。
在電腦保安領域,“網釣”(Phishing,和fishing發音一樣)也稱為“釣魚式攻擊”。

這是一種企圖從電子通訊,透過偽裝成信譽卓著的機構以獲得如用戶名字、密碼和信用卡等個人敏感資料的犯罪詐騙過程。

網釣技術最早在1987年問世,首度使用“網釣”這個術語是在1996年。

這詞是英文單詞釣魚的變種之一,起因于詐騙始祖利用電話犯案,因而結合Fishing與Phone創造Phishing一詞,意味放線釣魚以“釣”取受害人財務資料和密碼。

據估計,截至2007年8月,美國有360萬人因網釣失去32億美元(約97億令吉)。

中國反網釣網站聯盟(APAC)透露,去年中國新增的網釣網站有175萬個,受害網民多達4411萬,損失超過人民幣200億元(約93億令吉)。

如何分辨詐騙電郵?

騙徒日益精明,以下一些句子可供判斷你是不是收到詐騙電郵。

★請確認您的戶頭資料。

銀行或企業不會要求你以電郵傳送密碼、用戶名字名稱、身分證號碼或其他個人資訊。

當收到要求個人資料的電郵時請保持警覺,即使電郵看來很真實也不能掉以輕心,最重要是請不要回應這類詐騙電郵。

★如果您不在48小時內回應,您的戶頭將會關閉。

詐騙電郵的用語可能很親切有禮,但通常會表達出急迫感,好讓您在不經思考的情況下直接回應。

電郵可能會威脅要關閉或暫停您的戶頭,也可能表示需要您的回應,因為您的戶頭已被入侵等。

★親愛的客戶。

詐騙電郵通常是大量寄出,稱謂不會加上你的姓名。

但騙徒也有可能已掌握這些資料,大部分正當的公司應該會以你的姓名稱呼你。

★請按下方的連結,進入您的戶頭。

HTML格式的電郵可能附有網址連結,或附有網站常見的表單供你填寫。

電郵中要求你按下的連結可能帶有真實公司的完整或部分名稱,但通常是偽裝的,意即你所看到的連結實際上不會連至該網址,卻是到假網站。

只要把滑鼠指標停在連結上,便可顯示真正的網址。

詐騙方式多小心陷阱

除了“網釣”,以下也是一般的網絡銀行欺詐方式。

★破解密碼

騙徒將一再嘗試猜測密碼,直到破解成功。

★按鍵記錄(Keystroke Logging)

這是記錄鍵盤活動的程式,通常會攔截並儲存所有鍵盤活動,讓騙徒或其他惡意應用程式有機可趁,將按鍵記錄加以分類,以挑選出如登入和信用卡號碼等有價值的資料。

但也有合法的按鍵記錄程式,可供公司用以監控員工,或供父母監視兒童使用電腦的狀況。

★假造的登入頁面(Login Spoofing)

騙徒偽造登入頁面,借此取得用戶名字和密碼。

★間諜程式(Spyware)

間諜程式是基于不同目的而監視並收集用戶資訊的程式,通常是在大部分使用者不察覺的情況下執行。

許多人認為這是一種侵入式資料收集方式,而且也會造成網絡連線和系統效能雙雙降低。

★屠城木馬(Trojan Horse)

這是執行未預期或未經授權動作的惡意程式,通常用來竊取密碼。

自我保護10大守則

1. 勿用電郵網址連結

確保你登入官方的銀行網站,不要使用電郵中的網址連結,因為即使網址列顯示的網址正確也不要受騙,尤其騙徒有各種方法可在瀏覽器網址列中顯示偽裝的網址。

2. 選擇難以猜測的密碼

避免使用以下形式的密碼,如和用戶名字相同、電腦鍵盤同一排的字母(例如qwerty1或asdf123)、和你息息相關的數字,例如出生地點、生日日期、配偶名字;及字典可找到的單字。

3. 用戶名字密碼保密

切記,永不透過電郵或手機短訊洩露你的用戶名字和密碼。銀行永遠不會透過手話、電郵或手機短訊,要求你透露用戶名字和密碼。若你收到這樣要求的電郵或短訊,極有可能是“網釣”,千萬不要回應並立即聯絡相關銀行。

4. 經常更改密碼

5. 上網地點

只在自己的電腦展開網絡銀行交易,不要在公共場所如網咖,或人多的地方使用網絡銀行服務,避免有人偷窺密碼。

不要允許電腦自動填寫或儲存你的密碼,若你使用IE瀏覽器,選擇工具(Tools)、網絡選擇(Internet Options)、內容(Content)、自動完成(AutoComplete),將“表單上的用戶名和密碼”(User names and passwords on forms)前的鉤去掉,再點擊清除密碼(Clear Password)便可,瀏覽器就不會保存你的密碼。

6. 加強保安

把自己的電腦裝上個人防火牆、防間碟和防病毒軟體,並定時掃描電腦。

7. 嚴保密碼

不要把用戶名字和密碼寫在紙上或筆記本並隨身攜帶。

8. 消毀月結單

用戶需緊密監察戶頭,以防任何可疑交易,消毀每月的賬單,避免掉入不法之徒手中,及上網查詢戶頭摘要和月結單。

9. 刪除瀏覽器離線檔案

登出網絡銀行戶頭后,記得刪除瀏覽器的離線檔案(cache),若你使用IE瀏覽器,可選擇工具(Tools)、網絡選擇(Internet Options),然后點擊“刪除Cookies和刪除文檔”(Delete Cookies and Delete Files)。

10. 跟進保安威脅課題

與時併進,跟進現時的網絡保安威脅課題透過大馬人電腦緊急應對隊伍(MyCERT)跟進最新的網絡保安威脅,網址是http://www.mycert.org.my

借錢任拍照獲取信任 街頭騙子重出江湖

借錢任拍照獲取信任
街頭騙子重出江湖

獨家報導:梁國俊

(吉隆坡6日訊)街頭騙子又幹案!

橫行雪隆森甲和柔佛等州,專捏造悲慘遭遇,向有同情心的公眾借錢詐財的華裔騙子,日前被揭發再次易名,以類似的行騙手法幹案。

這名來自森州馬口的騙子自稱Lim Wat Seong,或“阿雄”或“阿成”,4年前開始在各地巴士車站或輕快鐵站,以同一套騙術向華裔男女下手,偽稱自己被朋友欺騙,落得身無分文,欲借錢繳付酒店費用和搭車回家鄉。

騙子幹案時,往往會把自己的手機號碼和大馬卡副本交給受害者,以取得后者信任,得手后卻消失得無影無蹤。

借了500令吉

令人不勝唏噓的是,雖然本報曾經報導揭發其幹案手法,但相信騙子發現至今仍沒有警方對他採取行動后,更加膽大妄為,甚至在借錢時,大方任事主拍攝其樣貌,取信后者。

最新一名受害者陳先生(27歲,攝影師)向《中國報》說,他是在前天晚上7時,在馬六甲仙特拉巴士總站準備乘搭巴士回吉隆坡時,被這名身材肥胖的華裔青年上前搭訕。

“他自稱‘阿成’,問我是否會說華語后,就說自己在新加坡工作,這次回國后被朋友騙走數千令吉,目前身無分文,沒錢交酒店房租,行李還被扣押在酒店。”

陳先生說,當時看到對方可憐兮兮,加上對方任他拍照作證據,所以本著助人之心,借了500令吉現款給對方。

“他給了我手機號碼,聲稱晚上回到家鄉后,就會匯錢給我;他離開后,我卻發現他提供的手機號碼是打不通的,始知上當,前往報案,並希望通過報章揭發其身分。”

Next of kin scam

From Mrs.Madina Dauda,

Bank of Africa (B.O.A)
Ouagadougou , Burkina Faso .

Very Confidential
Dear Friend,

I am Mrs.Madina Dauda; manager of bill and exchange at the foreign remittance department of bank of Africa (B.O.A) Ouagadougou , Burkina Faso .

駭客入侵面子書惡搞‧勒索女生200元‧竄改裸照流傳

駭客入侵面子書惡搞‧勒索女生200元‧竄改裸照流傳

朵樂蒂(左)的面子書帳戶遭駭客入侵後還被勒索,不堪滋擾的她向張天賜求助,希望能夠將歹徒揪出。(圖:光明日報)

(吉隆坡1日訊)一名醫學院女生的面子書遭駭客入侵後,駭客向她勒索200令吉,還擅用帳號冒充她與女事主的朋友聊天作亂,令女事主煩不勝煩,憤而報警,希望揪出這名駭客。

不但如此,女事主朵樂蒂(20歲)的堂妹與駭客在線上聊天後,意外發現堂姐的戶口被人駭侵冒用,便斥責對方的不法行為,結果也招致對方惡搞,在面子書盜取她的個人照片,移花接木後將竄改裸照上傳至其他友人的網頁。

朵竹蒂週五到馬華公共服務及投訴部向該部主任拿督張天賜求助,希望能夠提醒其他公眾不要陷入同樣的陷阱。

點擊鏈接墜陷阱

在馬來西亞理科大學哥打峇魯分校修讀醫科的華印混血兒朵樂蒂透露,她是在上週四遊覽面子書時,一名朋友要求她協助點擊一個鏈接,以便讓他能夠在所參與的比賽中獲得最高的點擊率,贏取一台蘋果Ipad。

她說,由於這類的比賽充斥面子書,她當下也不以為意,便同意幫忙點擊,沒想到竟輕易墜入駭客的陷阱。

“這名‘朋友’隨後自稱自己是一名駭客,還聲稱要駭侵她的面子書帳戶,我才驚覺我的這名‘朋友’早已成為其中一名受害者。”

她說,駭客隨即竄改了她的電郵帳戶密碼,借此證明他說到做到,威脅她乖乖交出200令吉,否則後果不堪設想。

她披露,對方提供一個電話號碼及銀行戶頭號碼,限她在一天之內匯入款項,而她當下答應對方拖延時間,借機將面子書上的所有照片刪除。

她以為這樣便能擺脫駭客的糾纏,沒想到這名駭客隔天上傳一張她的照片,還取得她的手機號碼,三番幾次聯絡她儘快寄錢,她在無計可施之下,向警方報案求助。

駭客是學院生

“外行人”駭客挑戰事主有本事便找出他的真實身份,朵樂蒂與友人反追查後,發現對方竟是一名在籍學院生。

朵樂蒂的友人查爾德利表示,對方駭侵朵樂蒂的電郵帳戶後,卻留下一個極大的破綻,他在帳戶內發現駭客的電郵地址,透過網絡尋找後終於發現駭客的個人簡介,揭破他的身份。

他說,他在多番比對之下,發現駭客提供的資料與簡介上的資料吻合,他試探性撥電給對方,發現實屬同一人。

他透露,對方是一名21歲的印裔學生,他懷疑對方是利用一個軟件取得朵樂蒂的帳戶密碼,竄改密碼後胡作非為。

朵樂蒂表示,她將向警方提供所取得的駭客資料,同時也會向馬來西亞通信與多媒体委員會投訴,希望警方能夠及早揪出這名駭客,以免其他人也深受其害。

受害者超過3人

朵樂蒂表示,目前至少有3名受害者的面子書帳號遭入侵,不過她相信這名駭客還利用相同手法向其他面子書用戶下手,受害者人數相信遠遠超過這個數字。

她說,駭客利用她朋友的帳戶誘導她點擊鏈接,這名朋友本身已是一名受害者,加上她及堂妹兩人,被這名駭客糾纏的受害者至少有3名。

她指出,駭客之後再利用她的帳戶,以同樣手法誘導其他人陷入同樣的圈套,這樣連貫下去,受害者總數肯定超過3名,而她也從身邊朋友得知仍有其他受害者存在。

張天賜表示,這類的網絡勒索案已經潛在已久,這些駭客都是利用新新科技,掌握受害者的私密照片或資料進行勒索。

他說,投訴部去年至今一共接獲13宗類似的勒索投報,其中5名受害者更是遭受裸照威脅,因此不得不對匪徒唯命是從。

他勸請公眾在網上交友時務必加倍小心,千萬不要泄露本身的私密照片,以便讓人有機可趁。

攻心計勒索騙色‧現實版《千謊百計》老千落網

韓丹(中)展示犯案纍纍的老千嫌犯照片,並呼吁其他受害者向警方舉報,把嫌犯提控上庭。(圖:星洲日報)

(森美蘭‧芙蓉1日訊)不要以為用心理戰術來騙財騙色是電視劇才會出現的橋段,現實生活中,原來也發生這一齣現實版的《千謊百計》戲碼!

追到東主妻姨後勒索

一名21歲的華裔青年處心積慮進入一間保安系統公司後,迅速的把東主妻姨追到手,過後開始進行勒索大計,雖然他得逞騙得3萬令吉“贖金”,但天網恢恢終究落網。

這名來自南馬的老千,是在大前天(3月29日)被警方逮捕後,警方才被揭發原來他犯案纍纍,受害者當中不乏各類專業人士,包括商人甚至律師。

這名年輕的老千是在3月17日攜帶剛相戀1個月的23歲受害者到怡保,美其名是旅遊,實則進行勒索大計,在3月17至25日期間,先後3次向受害者家人勒索1萬令吉,共3萬令吉。

最後被警方在怡保一間酒店逮捕,共取回1萬5千令吉的現款及一些金飾。

森州刑事調查主任韓丹今日在新聞發佈會上揭露這老千的計謀,並表示援引刑法365(綁架、拐帶及非法禁錮)條文調查案件。

他強調,一旦被證實涉案,嫌犯可在此條文下被控,若罪成可面對不超過7年監禁,並可另加罰款。

涉14宗欺騙攫奪劫案

根據警方調查顯示,嫌犯從2009年開始就在雪州、檳城、吉打、森州及馬六甲州幹下超過14宗案件,包括10宗欺騙案、1宗攫奪、1宗打劫、1宗偷車及1宗失信案,是一名慣犯。

警方相信他不止涉案14宗,相信還有更多受害者沒有向警方投報,他希望受害者能夠向警方提供資料,以便能夠把嫌犯提控上庭。

韓丹披露,除了一些打劫及掠奪案,這嫌犯涉及的案件幾乎都與騙字扯上關係,證明他深諳交際和心理戰術,而且還會事先作出周詳部署,讓人防不勝防。

“這老千的口才極佳,除了懂得使用甜言蜜語取悅受害者,而且被人感覺是有抱負的青年,讓人不防有詐。”

懂心理戰能言善辯
1個月獲老闆信任

韓丹指出,上述騙財騙色案件是從受害者姐夫的公司刊登招聘廣告開始,嫌犯通過招聘廣告加入這間保安系統公司,慢慢實現他的騙計。

他披露,嫌犯懂得心理謀略,而且能言善辯,加入公司短短一個月就獲得老闆等的信任,而且還主動提呈公司發展計劃給老闆,讓人覺得嫌犯年輕有為,擁有上進心。

在嫌犯進入公司的一個月時間內,也追求到老闆的妻姨,並獲得家人的認同及許可。

帶受害者旅遊勒索3萬

韓丹說,在3月17日,嫌犯把受害者帶到怡保旅遊,在3月21日嫌犯致電給受害者家屬,包括其老闆,勒索1萬令吉的贖金,否則將會對受害者不利,雖然家屬在繳交贖金後,可是嫌犯仍沒有釋放受害者,甚至在晚上再勒索1萬令吉,而家屬因為擔心受害者的安全,也繳交了贖金。

“嫌犯沒有因為收到了2萬令吉贖金而罷手,家屬在3月21當晚前往警局報案,家屬也在25日再次匯入1萬令吉款項予嫌犯,確保受害者的安全。”

韓丹聲稱,警方在掌握各種線索後,於3月29日下午4時在怡保的一間酒店把嫌犯逮捕,受害者也在現場,不過她對一切事情卻一無所知,過後被警員通知後,才驚覺成為騙財騙色受害者。

MACC-led task force cripples syndicate siphoning billions of ringgit

MACC-led task force cripples syndicate siphoning billions of ringgit
By LOURDES CHARLES and ZUHRIN AZAM AHMAD
newsdesk@thestar.com.my

PUTRAJAYA: Billions of ringgit have been siphoned by way of tax evasion, money laundering and illegal outflow of funds here by a syndicate with tentacles in many organisations.

The syndicate was finally crippled by a high-powered task force, the biggest ever assembled in the country's history and was led by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC).

Two senior Customs Department officers - a Datuk and his wife, both based in an east coast state - were detained to help in investigations.

MACC officers seized stashes of cash amounting to hundreds of thousands of ringgit from their home.

Officers of the task force, which also included representatives from Bank Negara, the Inland Revenue Board and the Attorney-General's Chambers, conducted simultaneous raids over the last 48 hours on forwarding companies and holding companies. Over 100 premises nationwide were raided.

MACC investigation director Datuk Mustafar Ali (pic) said the two Customs officers were detained to assist in the investigations for offences under the Customs Act, the Income Tax Act, the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorism Act and the MACC Act.

“Some 150 bank accounts have been frozen, including several overseas accounts that we believe are related to their illegal activities.

“Our task force raided 84 forwarding agents, 25 Customs premises and a holding company and its 24 subsidiaries,” he told reporters here yesterday.

Mustafar said the operation was one of the biggest joint efforts by law enforcement agencies in the country's history.

He added that the raids were conducted because there was reason to believe that the organisations were involved in under-declaration of Customs duties, tax evasion, money laundering, illegal remittance of billions of fund overseas and corruption.

He described the entities as a syndicate which was inter-linked.

“They are linked to agencies, to departments, to individuals and to other parties such as the forwarding agents.

“When goods are imported, the value is under-declared, resulting in lower duties.

“So, there is complicity between the importer and the authorities, resulting in the Government losing billions of ringgit,” he said.

Mustafar also revealed that the raid on the office of Selangor DAP exco member Ang Leng Kiat in Port Klang on Monday was part of the operation.

自稱王室義子‧游說投資直銷 演員騙千人5000萬

自稱王室義子‧游說投資直銷
演員騙千人5000萬

(吉隆坡28日訊)一名自稱某王室義子,參演過中文劇的本地華裔演員,被指以精湛演技騙走逾千名參與投資直銷計劃的5000萬令吉。

這名騙徒自稱叫K,年約40歲,他能言善道,吸引3萬人包括來自印尼和泰國,加入他操縱的直銷計劃。

由于他自稱是東海岸州蘇丹的義子,唆使投資者以最少3700令吉購買一單位即可賺取60%回酬,導致許多公務員和上了年紀者墜入騙局,事后向警方報案。

其中3名受害者分別是莫哈末化米安華(32歲)、阿旦林(31歲)和阿蘭莎哈力斯(35歲);他們日前也向大馬回教消費協會工委秘書拿督那京佐漢投訴,希望引起關注。

指在加拿大有鑽石礦

他們代表柔佛和巴生谷最大投資者說,騙徒為了取信投資者,指他在加拿大擁有鑽石礦,在中國則擁有提煉廠。

莫哈末化米說,他起初不信,不過經對方不斷游說擁有合法執照和看到他使用王宮注冊的豪華車牌號碼后,覺得機不可失,遂邀請數名伙伴參與直銷計劃。

他說,首個月他們如期獲得預定回酬,但去年10月開始便出現變化,對方消失無影,無法聯絡上。

“直到今日,我們不再獲得任何回酬,和朋友上門找他只發現其住家保衛森嚴,帶刺籬笆門深鎖和安裝閉路電視監視一切。”

他相信對方仍在屋內,8個月來故意躲避,他共被騙走25萬令吉。

“部分受害者損失慘重,有者賣園地和金飾、甚至向銀行或大耳窿貸款。”

阿蘭莎說,該名騙徒指他以支票方式繳付回酬卻不曾實現,令他和下線蒙受400萬令吉的虧損。

武吉阿曼商業罪案調查總監拿督威拉賽依斯邁爾受詢時,證實警方已接獲投報。

Centre to be set up to curb cybercrime

Centre to be set up to curb cybercrime

KUALA LUMPUR: The police force plans to set up a one-stop centre to curb commercial crimes, especially cybercrimes.

Federal Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Wira Syed Ismail Syed Azizan said the centre would be modelled after the hugely successful Taiwan Cybercrime Prevention and Fighting Centre.

“This will help speed-up commercial crime investigations as time is crucial,” he told reporters in conjunction with the 204th Police Day celebration Friday.

Besides the one-stop centre, the Commercial Criminal Investigation Department (CCID) is also planning to set up a database on white-collar criminals, including their modus operandi through police intelligence and complaints from victims.

“At present, the data is done manually and an application for facilities to set up the database had been submitted to the Logistics Department. We hope it can be set up in June or July,” he said.

Cases involving misuse of information and communication technology transcend national boundaries, he said, adding that they had changed with times from merely slanders, instigation and intimidations.

He said CCID officers were sent to attend training on crime trends, especially cyber crimes as the increase in the number of Internet users by 45.42% over the last 10 years had resulted in a rash of cyber criminals and scams.

He said fraud, criminal breach of trust and cyber crimes took a turn for the worst in 2009 with 24,590 cases involving the loss of RM1.4 billion. - Bernama

網上認識1個月頻借錢
恨嫁女書記被騙30萬
(吉隆坡22日訊)49歲巫裔女書記墜入情網,以為覓得真命天子,被一名在網上交往僅一個月,自稱是洋人回教徒的網友求婚后,誤入對方圈套,最終遭該“未婚夫”騙走30萬令吉的儲蓄。

受害者和“未婚夫”在網絡初相識時,每天接獲對方4小時的通話,在漸漸信任對方后,竟被對方告知生意遇上瓶頸,便匯了超過25次,總數30萬令吉給“未婚夫”。

直到半年后,事主接獲一通自稱來自美國某醫院的電話,指其“未婚夫”在一場武器攻擊事件中身亡,從此和對方失去聯絡。

事主艾茲娜(未婚,來自檳城)今日向馬華公共服務及投訴部主任拿督張天賜求助后,公開自身遭遇,提醒大馬女性,尤其是回教徒,在網上交友額外謹慎。

接死訊起疑

她說,她去年9月在某回教社交網站上,認識一名自稱來自美國的回教徒哈山(50歲)。

艾茲娜說,對方對回教文化有充分了解,因此很快贏得她的信任。

“認識哈山后,我們每天通電至少4小時,他也常通過電郵傳達對我的關心和愛意。去年10月,他向我求婚后,曾要求我移民去美國和他一起生活。”

“去年11月,他因生意遇瓶頸向我借錢,並承諾在今年三月歸還錢給我。”

她說,去年11月至今年3月,她前後共匯了30萬令吉入對方位於倫敦與墨西哥的銀行戶頭,有些錢更是她向親戚朋友借的。

“本月19日接獲他的死訊后,我才開始產生疑心,現在回想起來,懷疑是對方是本地人,利用洋人的照片施計欺詐。”

另外,張天賜說,女事主已報案,他會協助對方把報告提交給美國駐馬大使館,希望當局展開調查。

愛滋基佬騙200人上床
圈中人留言爆被騙經過
凱文溫柔偷心

獨家報導:黃麗儀

(吉隆坡10日訊)據“同志”圈中人指出,被指對逾二百名同志騙財騙色的愛滋基佬凱文,雖然其貌不揚,卻很“溫柔”,在取得獵物信任后,便騙他們上床,然后以各種手法騙走金錢、手機及偷竊財物。

《中國報》記者從一位同志的面子書網頁取得的資料顯示,被該名自稱凱文(Kelvin)的23歲老千詐騙者,不計其數;此案在報章曝光后,同志們紛紛在有關話題的專頁留言,爆出被凱文欺騙的經過。

面子書尋找獵物

從同志的留言中觀察,凱文會在面子書尋找獵物,結識后,就約對方外出見面吃飯。

其中一名受害者透露,凱文與他外出約會時,帶他到壽司店用餐,但點的都是價格便宜的食物。

凱文之后尋找機會向受害者借用手機,再以電話線路不好為由,到餐廳外談電話后,趁機拿著手機偷跑。

凱文也會帶受害者到電話售賣店,並謊稱要送手機給受害者,惟選好手機后,凱文就會施計拿著手機離開,留下無辜的受害者來付款;凱文也會假意要求受害者為其手機加額,但沒有還錢給對方。

昨日,4名被凱文欺騙的同志向報界揭露,他們被凱文騙上床,過后遭后者偷竊或勒索。其中一名男生小戴事后驗身,發現自己染上了梅毒。

更甚的是,凱文指稱自己患有愛滋病;如果此話屬實,200名曾和他發生性關係的青少年,很可能已染上世紀絕症。

EMail Scam

Blogger: Even if you don't respond earlier, they will try to con you also. What they want is your respond, if you responded to the e-mail, you will get con.

They will ask you to pay for courier fee, tax and all that. In the end, you will be parted with your money, but you will not get anything in return.

It is just a con job. In the internet world, be careful. This is probably the third time I received this kind of "offer"-- same tone, same writing and same story.

The stain on your pants is just a story, the truth is...

Vicky Ooi sent me this story:


I was at a souvenir shop at Jalan H.S.Lee, Petaling Street on Tuesday evening.

A young Indian lady told me that there's a stain on my pants.

(The young Indian is around 20-25 years old, long hair, about 160cm tall, her skin is quite fair, she's wearing t-shirt & jeans and she's speaking very fluent English.)

I turned back and checked and found out that there's a red stain looked like paint on my pants.

So, this lady helped me to clear the stain from my pants. After that, I continue looking for soft toy in the shop.

Then, the lady asked me whether I want to clean the stain. I rejected her offer and told her that I'm going back home and I can clean it at home.

After that, she told me that she was a teacher at a famous tuition center in KL just opposite the shop and she's waiting for her brother.

She wanted to go to toilet to wash her hands (Her hand was dirtied when helping me to wipe away the stain) and she invited me to go to the toilet with her.

So, I followed her to the toilet to clean the stain on my pants.

She brought me to the ladies at the 1st floor of the tuition center. I took off my bag and put it on the basin so that I can clean the stain on my pants.

While I was cleaning, she took my bag and ran away.

Everything just happened in 3 minutes. I was so shock when I found out my bag and the lady were gone.

The young Indian lady left her things in the toilet and ran away with my bag.

I searched through her belongings and found a lipstick in the envelope she left.

Then, I realized that she's the one who put the red lipstick stain on my pants and pretended to help me.

I went to the tuition center together with the police officer for investigation on the next day.

I was able to recognize the young Indian lady from the CCTV record. The security head of the tuition center told me that I am the 2nd victim.

5 months ago, the same young Indian lady did the same case using same method at the same place to 1 of the students in the tuition center.

During the investigation, I was told that to print out the young Indian lady's photo from the CCTV costs RM150.

The tuition center wanted me to bear the printing cost because I'm neither a staff nor a student there. I refused to bear the cost because I am the victim.

I asked the police officer whether the police force can bear the cost because it's an evidence.

Guess what the police officer told me...

He told me not to put too much hope that they will be able to catch the thief, 70%-80% that they will not be able to catch the thief.

Sigh...

With all the evidence provided (the CCTV record, the thief's belongings, and her finger print was printed on the envelope she left), the police officer told me not to put too much hope that they will be able to catch the thief.

I was so disappointed.

So, I decided to share my experience to everyone of you. Hopefully you will not be the next victim because the thief is still free out there.

This is her 2nd successful case, so there will be 3rd time and so on until she's caught.

The police officer told me that such cases always happen at Bukit Bintang and Low Yat Plaza area.

So, please be careful when you are at that area and trust no one.

Just ignore and walk away when a stranger tells you that your clothes is dirty.

Please share my experience to your friends and family especially ladies.

Hopefully your friends and family will not be the next victim.

申請房貸被盜100萬‧受害者:曾致電道歉‧“嫌犯聲稱欠球債”

申請房貸被盜100萬‧受害者:曾致電道歉‧“嫌犯聲稱欠球債”

* 國內

2011-02-25 10:52

(吉打‧雙溪大年24日訊)委託銀行職員處理房屋貸款事項,反遭職員盜用資料盜取存款事件的受害者白水菊披露,盜用客戶存款的嫌犯事後致電,向她道歉,指自己欠下球債,逼不得已情況下才犯下監守自盜的行為。

白水菊(53歲)今早在新聞發佈會上說到自己近30萬令吉的存款化為烏有,頻頻哽咽落淚,一度說不出話來。


她表示,該嫌犯曾親自致電向她道歉,說瞭解她是一名單親媽媽。該嫌犯還安慰她說,銀行會賠償給她,叫她不要擔心。

目前,嫌犯已經辭掉其職務。

視總行決定行事
“銀行經理承諾賠償”

記者致電有關銀行雙溪大年分行經理蔡先生,不過,他指自己正在開會,不方便發言,而蓋上電話。

根據白水菊表示,該分行經理向她表示,這起案件將會交到總行報備,再視乎總行的決定行事。對方向白水菊承諾,銀行會針對此案件作出賠償。

白水菊以及馬培思等人同時也向國家銀行投報。

白水菊以及馬培思都希望銀行方面能儘快償還他們的損失,不要無限期拖延下去。

至於嫌犯方面,馬培思表示,交由銀行方面處理懲罰。

案件二
馬培思:諮詢房貸申請
嫌犯要求增存款強化條件

也是欲購買房屋到銀行進行貸款諮詢的馬培思,是在白水菊案件發生後,被銀行告知她也成為受害者,戶頭內的7萬4千令吉,剩下304令吉89仙。

馬培思表示,發生在她身上的事件跟白水菊大同小異,她是欲貸款16萬令吉購買屋子,而向嫌犯進行貸款諮詢。

當時,嫌犯說她薪水3千令吉不足以進行16萬令吉的貸款,而自動建議馬培思母親翁錦珠在有關銀行的另一個戶頭,轉賬一筆錢到馬培思的戶頭,以強化貸款的條件。馬培思母女同意這項建議,而委託嫌犯進行。

當然,這項貸款仍不獲批准,因為該嫌犯未曾協助他們進行申請程序。而在銀行打印出來的最新收據顯示,嫌犯先後盜取了兩筆分別是4萬以及3萬4千的款項。

與嫌犯家人是朋友

她說,他們跟嫌犯家人是多年朋友,他們也未向嫌犯家人表示自己是受害者,不想讓對方難堪。

據她從銀行職員方面獲知,受害者超過10名,數額達100萬令吉。

出席者包括民聯社區主席張金利、王亞順、楊金山,以及馬培思的母親翁錦珠。

SHAH ALAM: Two men were charged in the Sessions Court here on Tuesday, Feb 22 with two counts of cheating a businessman into giving them RM1.5 million for a proposed road upgrading project in Pahang last September.

Construction company directors Mohd Rozian Md Yunus, 48, and Faaris Mohd Yusof, 44, claimed trial to the charges.

They are alleged to have cheated the businessman by informing him, through a letter of intent dated Aug 30, 2010, that their company, Eurisco Bina Sdn Bhd, was awarded the project to upgrade the Benta-Jerantut road in Maran, Pahang Darul Makmur Phase 1 (Jerantut-Benta) - Segment 8,9 & 10 (Design & Build) by the Public Works Department.

“愛情郵包”又騙財‧婦女上網友當損失5千

* 國內

2011-02-21 18:42

(雪蘭莪‧八打靈再也21日訊)雖然媒體不斷報導“愛情郵包”詐騙新聞,但公眾並沒有因此而加以警惕,受騙事件仍然繼續發生。

一名來自新加坡的婦女(49歲)在上個月透過網絡認識一名外籍男子後迅速陷入“愛河”,結果遭對方以“愛情郵包”手法,騙走5千令吉。


她在本月初接獲這名網友的電話,聲稱已郵寄金飾及名牌手表給她,但郵包遭吉隆坡國際機場海關扣下,她需付5千令吉“贖回”郵包。

不料事主付款後,對方再要求多付1萬令吉,她起了疑心而向吉隆坡國際機場查詢後才發現所謂的“愛情郵包”是子虛烏有,驚覺受騙。

她已向吉隆坡國際機場警局報案。

繳清才發現貨不對辦 到俄讀醫被騙學費

繳清才發現貨不對辦
到俄讀醫被騙學費
(馬六甲19日訊)退休人士通過代理招生公司送女兒到俄羅斯修讀醫科,並以退休金繳付5萬6000令吉學費,但女兒去了數個月后發現貨不對辦,無法繼續學業,他深感受騙。

洪姓父親(譯音)說,代理公司在招生時指全部學費只需5萬6000令吉,課程由英語教學,不料女兒升學兩個多月,竟被要求再付學費,同時發現只有前3年是以英語授課,在語言不通下無法繼續學業。

他日前向甲維護消費者協會主席拿督斯里沙哈魯汀投訴時說,他是去年初在吉隆坡某教育博覽會上,通過一間代理招生公司,讓20余歲的女兒到俄羅斯莫斯科修讀醫科。

代理告知他,課程為期6年,所有科目將以英語教學。他之后直接付清所有課程費用,對方告知,開學時不需要再繳付任何費用。

去年9月女兒還未出發前,他從友人處獲知該院校只在前3年以英語教學,之后3年是以俄語,感到擔心,一再追問該名代理。

“對方出示該院校的錄取通知信,信內註明是以英語教學,我就放心讓女兒過去。”

他指出,女兒過去兩個月后,校方告知女兒尚未繳付學費,同時也指課程將以英語教學的說法不符實。

洪先生說,女兒去年11月返甲后,告知還有60名來自我國的人士也遭遇同樣情況,不過都不敢揭發此事。

沙哈魯汀說,他曾致電給有關公司負責人,不過對方不願負責。該會也致函給該公司,惟對方完全沒有回复。

不願具名的村民透露,譚孫瓊是被欺騙的第6個人,在他之前還有來自森美蘭州芙蓉和淡邊、彭亨州直涼和吉拉央的男子,不過可能涉及的錢財不多,所以事主沒有出面揭露。

【世華‧社會】格魯吉亞車主,車牌字母偏好 VIP、BMW、SOS!

譚孫瓊屢勸不聽

消息也說,該女子已經在直涼活動20年,當譚孫瓊跟她在一起時,幾乎全村的村民都勸他小心,不過,譚氏不聽勸。

“譚孫瓊的阿姨勸不動,叫他的姐姐勸他,結果兩人鬧別扭了。”

譚孫瓊的姐姐也是領養的,已經嫁到柔佛州峇都安南。

另一方面,明光的《星洲日報》今早7時30分就賣斷市了,村民搶購報紙以瞭解這個事件的進展。

Rise in scams targeting e-banking accounts

Rise in scams targeting e-banking accounts
By P. ARUNA
aruna@thestar.com.my

PETALING JAYA: If you have an Internet banking account, like many do in this modern IT era, take immediate notice.

The number of Malaysians falling prey to Internet banking scams is increasing by the day.

Cyber criminals are on the prowl looking for account holders gullible enough to reveal the two most vital pieces of data — their username and password.

They use fake banking websites, known as “phishing” sites, to try and trap the account holders.

If you fall for it, you can have your entire account wiped out in minutes, depending on the amount of money you have and the transfer limit set by the bank.

According to CyberSecurity Malaysia, a total of 1,426 reports were made last year compared to 634 received in 2009.

It said at least 900 unique phishing sites targeting local financial institutions have been discovered.

The body said those who fell prey are usually new Internet banking account holders and people who don’t understand Internet security.

假扮富豪高價包養婦女
愛滋老翁騙情傳病

獨家報導:劉佩明

(吉隆坡15日訊)愛滋病老翁假扮富豪,以高價包養為幌子欺騙中國婦女自動獻身,更導致一名中國婦女感染愛滋病,缺德行為令人不恥!

《中國報》接獲讀者王先生(化名)告知,一名約60歲,駕豪華轎車的本地老翁,不時在雪州大城堡、蒂沙八打靈和無拉港等地出沒,以高价包養為由,向中國婦女行騙。

1萬包養1個月

王先生指出,早前有一中國女性朋友來馬旅遊時,在大城堡附近邂逅該名老翁。

他說,該老翁向友人提出包養一個月5000令吉的建議,隔日又改口說1個月1萬令吉,友人也動心接受。

“怎知,一個月過去后, 老翁遲遲沒有給錢,更甚的事,友人離馬回中國后,進行體檢時,發現染上世紀絕症愛滋病!”

王先生曾聽聞老翁本身有家室,家中也有孫兒。聽罷友人的經歷,王先生對老翁的行為感到羞恥。

“沒有錢就別打腫臉皮充胖子,騙情之餘還到處傳染愛滋病,做出如此荒唐的事,讓本地男人蒙羞。”

王先生希望藉報端報導此事,促請有關地區的婦女小心提防此人,別輕易相信其甜言蜜語和金錢誘惑。

To all bloggers:

I have just received a e-mail from one guy by the name of Samusa claiming that he is from Google asking our password, username and present country.

How can Google asked for your password, it is supposed to be confidential. You know in my industry, I am not supposed to tell even my friends other any other person, my password, I will be fined for doing that.

Anyway, just alert you guys.

As a refugee here i don't have any privilledge to anything be it money or whatever because it is against their law. I want to go back to my studies because i only attended my first year before the tragic incident that lead to my being in this situation now took place.

Facebook friend costs lecturer RM 30K

Facebook friend costs lecturer RM30K

A COLLEGE lecturer lost RM30,000 after getting acquainted with a man who claimed to be a doctor on the social networking site Facebook, Kosmo! reported.

Pahang commercial crime chief Supt Zaini Jass said the victim, 49, got to know “Dr Bruce Burn” from the United States on Jan 7.

When they were communicating, the “doctor” told her that he was based in the United States and was looking for a companion to settle down with.

He further deceived her by saying that he was prepared to settle down in Malaysia after marriage and would be coming to the country to meet her.

However, Supt Zaini said a man, who claimed to be a customs officer, contacted the lecturer and told her that the “doctor” had been arrested at KLIA for carrying £25,000 (RM121,567) that was not declared.

“The victim then paid RM30,000 to free the man,” he said, adding that she lodged a report after she discovered she was conned when the doctor did not show up at her house.

Social network users now easy targets for criminals

Social network users now easy targets for criminals

PETALING JAYA: Forget about bringing criminals to book, the crooks are themselves going to the book – Facebook, that is.

Many are targeting Malaysians – via their personal details posted on Facebook.

They are lifting information such as addresses, telephone numbers and even photographs for crimes ranging from drug trafficking to blackmail and sexual harassment.

Experts have criticised Malaysians for being too naive in accepting “friendship” requests from strangers.

Last year alone, some 400 crimes involving Facebook were reported to a cyber security group.

The trend is worrying because an international survey last year revealed that Malaysians had the most number of friends on social networking websites like Facebook with an average of 233 each – and spent up to nine hours each week logged on.

Beware the Facebook felons
By P. ARUNA

PETALING JAYA: Crooks are cashing in on personal details readily revealed by some Facebook users and using them in identity frauds, blackmail or to “steal” money from users.

Over-excited online social network users who reveal personal information and accept “friendship” requests from complete strangers have made the site an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals.

Many users, especially beginners, experience culture shock when they suddenly become “popular” and receive many friendship requests, said criminologist and Malaysian Association of Certified Fraud Examiners president Datuk Akhbar Satar.

“They feel encouraged to reveal more information about themselves without realising the damage it could cause,” he said, adding that many users even posted sexy or nude pictures of themselves on the website and ended up being blackmailed by complete strangers.

Akhbar said the practice of posting personal details such as birth dates, addresses and telephone numbers on the website had proven to be the source of a lucrative business for identity fraudsters.

“The crime triangle comprises elements of desire, target and opportunity. Once there is a desire to commit the crime, the criminal identifies the target and opportunity. This is where Facebook comes in,” he said.

According to Socialbakers.com, a website dedicated to global Facebook statistics, there are currently 9,874,860 Facebook users in Malaysia alone, which is 37.75% of the entire population.

Youths between the ages of 18 and 25 formed the majority of Malaysian users – 38% – while the youngest group, aged between 13 and 15, makes up 7% of users.

The gender ratio of Malaysians on Facebook is almost equal – with 53% of them being female.

Hackers operating on social networks can easily create fake profiles and send friendship requests to unsuspecting users within their target groups.

Many users have become victims of identity frauds, harassment, blackmail and have lost money through various scams operated via the website.

There have also been reports of gangs and drug syndicates in Malaysia recruiting members through Facebook and other social networks.

The criminals’ job is made easier as the name and profile picture of the user is visible to all via the websites’ default privacy settings.

“Unlike crimes committed in the physical world, cyber crimes require little or no investment,” said Akhbar, adding that such crimes were also difficult to detect.

Businesswoman in Ponzi scheme gets 120 years in jail, RM5mil fine

KUALA LUMPUR: A businesswoman was sentenced to a total of 120 years in jail and fined RM5mil for swindling 4,000 people in an illegal investment scheme.

Raja Noor Asma Raja Harun, 49, pleaded guilty Monday to offences related to the Anti-Money Laundering Act and the Securities Commission, after 18 witnesses testified from Aug 5 last year.

She was alleged to have fleeced 4,000 investors and earned herself millions during the year she was running her wealth management business, without having either a fund manager's licence or a futures broker's licence.

Raja Noor Asma had pleaded guilty to receiving, using or having in possession of illegal proceeds obtained through a Ponzi scheme at various banks between 2007 and 2008.

(A Ponzi scheme is said to be a swindle in which quick returns on an initial investment, mostly with money from new investors, lures the victim into bigger risks.)

A Sessions Court here sentenced her to a total of 100 years in prison – two years' imprisonment for each of 50 counts of money laundering – under the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

She will, however, serve only two years after judge S.M. Komathy Suppiah ordered her jail terms to run concurrently.

Raja Noor Asma, a director of FX Capital Consultant (M) Sdn Bhd and FX Consultant, was also fined RM5mil and jailed a total of 20 years for various charges related to the Securities Commission.

She will, however, serve just five years for these offences, as Komathy also ordered the sentences related to the commission to run concurrently.

In all Raja Noor Asma will spend seven years in prison for her offences, committed from 2007 to 2008.

"Deterrence and denunciation are the two primary considerations taken into account in crafting an appropriate sentence in this case.

"The offences committed by the accused are serious and public confidence in the court would be corroded if offenders who deceive the public are given lenient sentence," said Komathy.

Raja Noor Asma admitted to committing the offences at the company's premises in Rawang between February 2007 and May 2008.

The court has set April 1 to hear claims by investors over their investments in the scheme in an attempt to recover their money.
