Lorry driver loses over RM80,000 after being cheated by part-time job syndicate

KUALA TERENGGANU, JUNE 24 -- A male lorry driver lost RM80,580 after being deceived by a syndicate offering part-time work online. Kuala Terengganu District Police Chief, ACP Azli Mohd Noor said that on June 3, the 35-year-old victim saw an advertisement for a part-time job with a good income on the social media site Facebook. He said the victim, who was intrigued, contacted the suspect who introduced himself as a representative of a company via the WhatsApp and Telegram applications. "As a task, the victim only had to click the like button on the link to the goods given by the suspect. The victim who successfully completed several tasks received a certain amount of payment, making him trust and confident in the suspect. "However, after completing several subsequent tasks, the suspect asked the victim to make a payment supposedly as management costs to withdraw the RM400,000 profit that the victim would receive," he said in a statement today. Azli said the victim who was deceived made 21 payments totaling RM80,580 to six different bank accounts between June 11 and 22 using money borrowed from friends. However, until the police report was made at 3.28 pm yesterday, the victim had still not received any of the promised profits. "The victim realised he had been cheated after being urged to continue making the payment by the suspect. The case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code," he said. -- BERNAMA
