Trust in the financial institutions that protect our money is dwindling by the day.

Recently, another Malaysian, by the Facebook name Azura Photobook, shared her story of how she fell into depression after losing almost all of her savings that were saved in four different bank accounts. 

In a repost of her story by the Facebook page VOICE, she said, “I was conned out of my money so severely that it is not viral anymore. I broke down with depression.”

“The RM163,000 that I’ll never forget. Public Bank, CIMB Bank, Maybank and Bank Rakyat,” the caption simply stated.

She provided images of her mobile banking applications’ transaction history, showing that the lowest amount fraudulently obtained in a single transaction was RM6,050 and the largest was RM50,002 in the screenshots.

All of this happened on July 4-5, 2022, in just two days.

And she added, “We frequently hear that many are victims of scammers’ deception. Even though social media has raised awareness of this con, many more people have still been duped.”

“Today is the only time I feel compelled to tell my story of this cruel scammer. This happened to me because of the scam – I had lost RM163,000 on the 4th of July 2022.”

Then, she shared the method the scammers used on her, “It was more or less the same story as the others.”

1. Victims would receive a call from the scammers claiming to be from a bank. They would then inform victims that a transaction has taken place even though victims do not have any accounts in those banks.

2. The call would be transferred to “Bank Negara Malaysia” to assist victims in making a “police report”.

3. Then, the call would be transferred to the “police station,” where victims would be asked for their bank account details.

These large transactions, according to the post that Azura published, typically happen quickly and require OTPs.

Azura said she suffered from extreme depression for about three weeks.

“I had lost all hope of living and felt as though the world was dark. But I’ve accepted my lot in life. Be cautious. It might happen to you,” she cautioned.

We hope everyone will remain vigilant and the authorities will take the necessary actions to curb this issue.
