Believing the call was legitimate, the victim called and was connected to a woman pretending to be a police sergeant from Kelantan, who claimed to have conducted a check with Bukit Aman regarding the matter.
“The victim then received a WhatsApp call informing her that she was involved in a money laundering and drug case with a Chinese man and had sold a CIMB ATM card to the man for RM20,000 and receiving a monthly commission,” he said in a statement today.
