IPOH: A property consultant fears for the safety of his family after a friend allegedly sent gangsters to his house over an online foreign exchange investment scheme that had gone awry.

Teng Hwa Lin, 49, said his friend of five years had given him US$60, 000 (RM240, 000) to invest in the scheme based in Australia in March 2016, and he would bank the profits into his friend’s account.
