Scammers target school leavers


A WhatsApp message containing an “offer” to study pharmacy at a so-called higher education institution was sent to SPM and STPM school-leavers, but it turned out to be a scam, Harian Metro reported.

A victim, who only wanted to be known as Mohd Azlan, said he received the message on March 28 and was asked to quickly pay RM300 to confirm the offer.
