MELAKA (Bernama): Three elderly siblings claimed that they have lost more than RM500,000 to a syndicate which cheated them by claiming that they have quit rent arrears.

The victims, a 76-year-old woman and her two brothers, aged 65 and 68, were informed by the woman's adopted daughter that she received a letter from the government allegedly stating that they had to settle arrears of their house in Jalan Tukang Besi here or risk being evicted.
