POLICE ARREST MAN SUSPECTED OF BEING INVOLVED IN MACAU SCAM
KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 (Bernama) -- A man suspected of being involved in a 'Macau Scam' fraud case was arrested while trying to withdraw RM25,000 from a bank here today.
The 60-year-old man who worked at a night market was arrested following a police report lodged by a marketing executive who claimed to have lost more than RM500,000 after receiving a call from a man impersonating as a senior police officer from the Sarawak Police Contingent Headquarters.
"The victim was informed by the suspect that there were several cases relating to Pos Laju packages, and that the victims (Pos Laju) account was found to be involved in money laundering activities.
"The victim was intimidated and followed the orders of the suspect to transfer all his savings into a certain account for audit and investigation purposes," Subang Jaya District Police chief ACP Risikin Satiman said in a statement here today.
He said the police managed to track the man after he withdrew a huge sum of money from the bank yesterday.
