SIBU: A 28-year-old engineer from Bintulu was fleeced of RM98,250 in a Macau scam after he was duped into believing that it would prevent him from being arrested for money laundering.

Sarawak Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) chief Supt Mustafa Kamal Gani said on Thursday (Dec 12) that the tactic used by the scammers in this case was similar to many others where fear was used to cheat the victim.
