JOHOR BARU: A 34-year-old housewife lost RM500 after taking up an "attractive business opportunity" that promised her an additional start-up fund of RM1,500 to sell Hari Raya cookies overseas.

Johor police chief Comm Datuk Ayob Khan Mydin Pitchay said the woman was presented with the offer via WhatsApp on Dec 2 last year but only lodged a police report on March 23 after realising that she might have been cheated.
