JOHOR BARU: A senior citizen here says she lost almost RM600,000 after falling for a phone scam by someone claiming to be a National Scam Response Centre (NSRC) officer.

Johor police chief Comm M. Kumar said the 70-year-old victim lodged a report on Monday (June 17) claiming that she lost RM584,000 of her savings.“She then was contacted by another individual claiming to be a police officer from a northern state saying the victim has a bank account registered under her name in that state but she denied it,” he said in a statement on Wednesday (June 19).

Comm Kumar added that the suspect was able to convince the victim to hand over her bank account details for "investigation purposes".

He said the victim followed the suspect’s instructions and even left her ATM card and account PIN at a location he provided.

“The victim was then instructed to transfer money from (her other) bank accounts to the account handed over to the suspect for his investigation.

Comm Kumar said the victim then realised she had been cheated and lodged a report.

“I would like to remind the public that the NSRC is a call centre where it only receives calls from the public and is a one-way communications channel.

“NSRC will not make calls to any individuals. Therefore, any caller claiming to be from the centre is a fraud,” he said.

Comm Kumar added that to optimise efforts to prevent and curb online fraud cases, victims should immediately contact NSRC at 997 to block financial transactions from their bank accounts.

He also urged the public to visit the Commercial Crime Investigation Department's social media channels on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok to find out the latest modus operandi used by scammers.

JOHOR BAHRU：一位年长的市民表示，她在接到一个自称是国家诈骗应对中心（NSRC）官员的电话诈骗后，损失了近60万令吉。

柔佛警察总监M. Kumar表示，这位70岁的受害者于6月17日星期一报案，声称她失去了58.4万令吉的储蓄。

“受害者表示，5月初，她接到一个自称是NSRC官员的人的电话，指控她涉及欺诈案件。

“然后，她被另一名自称是来自北部州的警察官员联系，称受害者在该州注册了一个以她名字命名的银行账户，但她否认了这一点，”他在6月19日星期三的一份声明中说。 Kumar补充说，嫌疑人成功地说服受害者交出她的银行账户详细信息以进行“调查”。

他说，受害者遵循了嫌疑人的指示，甚至在他提供的地点留下了她的ATM卡和账户PIN。

“然后，受害者被指示将其他银行账户的资金转入嫌疑人用于调查的账户。

“然而，在本月中旬，受害者与银行核实后发现，通过ATM取款和转账给一个不知名的人，她的账户中已经被取走了58.4万令吉，”他补充说。

Kumar说，受害者随后意识到自己被骗了，并报了案。

“我想提醒公众，NSRC是一个只接受公众来电的呼叫中心，是一个单向通信渠道。

“NSRC不会给任何个人打电话。因此，任何自称来自该中心的来电者都是骗子，”他说。

Kumar补充说，为了优化防范和遏制网络欺诈案件的努力，受害者应立即拨打997联系NSRC，以阻止从他们的银行账户中转出的资金。

他还敦促公众访问商业犯罪调查部门在Facebook、Instagram和TikTok上的社交媒体渠道，以了解骗子使用的最新作案手法。

Confessions of a scammer

Confessions of a scammer
Reports by STEVEN DANIEL, DESIREE TRESA GASPER, AUSTIN CAMOENS, IVAN LOH, JOSHUA FOONG and JOSEPH LOH

KUALA LUMPUR: Some scratch-and-win companies are already getting their salespersons to hit the road and push Chinese New Year packages, a former worker with one such firm said.

Tze Meng (not his real name) also told The Star how he first became involved in the trade and how such companies operated.

He said he started off when he answered an advertisement for a sales job in a Chinese daily.

“The returns or commissions are good; sometimes we get up to 25% of whatever sales we manage from those who supposedly won the scratch and win or draw.

“If we bring in 25 customers, we get at least RM3,000 and this can be achieved within three days.”

Tze Meng revealed that most of the salesmen were from the rural areas, who were naive and thought they could hit the sales target by working hard.

During orientation, Tze Meng said the manager would teach the new recruits how to convince customers to buy their products.

“The ‘lecturer’ made it seem easy to make thousands of ringgit and said everything was legal.

“We were handed 20 cards – 10 with prizes and the others with the words ‘Thank You’ on it,” he added.

Tze Meng said they would be taken to locations such as a shopping complexes, bus terminals, LRT stations, hypermarkets and sometimes outside banks.

“We were taught how to target our customers. If a person is young and we think that they do not have the money then we offer them the ‘Thank You’ card to scratch.

“If the person is older and looks well off, we use the cards that offer prizes like electrical items, energy water system, home theatre system or digital stove worth between RM4,000 and RM5,000,” he added.

Tze Meng said the winner would be brought to the office where a supervisor would give a briefing about the “other prizes” he or she could win; and how much to fork out to redeem them.

They would also be lured into believing they could win a Toyota Altis, Persona, Perodua Viva, 42-inch Plasma TV, LCD TV, Honda motorcycle, refrigerator and video camera.

Before that, the victims would be asked to fill up an agreement form.

“The fine print states that the victims bought the items voluntarily.

“The goods bought were also not returnable,” he added.

However, in most cases, the lucrative prizes never materialised and the customers ended up owning a cheap mattress after forking out thousands.
