“The victim was ordered to hand over all banking and debit card information involving 3 bank accounts for financial investigations. She was also ordered to put her debit cards in a plastic bag and place it on the branch of a tree in front of her house,”

“After that, the victim received a notification from the bank, showing a large decrease in money from all 3 bank accounts and her Hajj fund account,” he said.

 

She then realised that she had been cheated, and proceeded to contact the banks to block her accounts and obtain bank statements.

“After checking, there were more than 55 transactions to 4 accounts made through automated teller machines (ATMs),” he added.

Following a police report of this incident, this case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
