Selangor police have busted two online scam syndicates and arrested 11 suspects in separate raids in Sungai Long and Taman Aman Perdana, state police chief Commissioner Datuk Shazeli Kahar said on Friday (Nov 13), The Star reported.

He said the raids were carried out on Nov 3 and Nov 10. Those arrested, including a local man, were aged between 22 and 45.

Romance and investment scams targeting foreigners

Investigations showed that both groups had allegedly run romance and investment scams targeting foreign victims overseas, Shazeli told a press conference at the Selangor police headquarters in Shah Alam.

Police seized computer equipment worth RM20,000, including six laptops. Both groups are believed to have been active since September.

Fines and remand in Selangor scam syndicates case

Shazeli said two foreign suspects were charged under Section 120B(2) of the Penal Code on Nov 6 and were fined RM2,000 each. Both have paid the fines.

Three other suspects were made prosecution witnesses, he said. The suspects in the Klang case were remanded until Saturday (Nov 14) to assist investigations.

Raja Muda aide impersonation case solved

In an unrelated matter, Shazeli said investigations into a man who posed as an aide to the Raja Muda of Selangor, and who was arrested over cheating cases involving RM1.42 million, had been solved after two suspects were charged on Wednesday (Nov 11) and Thursday (Nov 12).

He said 17 police investigation papers had been opened in Selangor, while the main suspect is believed to be linked to a total of 27 cases, including some outside the state.
