ALOR SETAR: A 35-year-old woman lost RM106,500 after being deceived by a Macau scam syndicate which scared her into believing that she was involved in money laundering and drug activities.

The woman, from Sungai Petani, had received a call last month from a man who introduced himself as Encik Razali from the Kuala Lumpur Post Office, said Kedah Commercial CID chief Supt Elias Omar.
