Shandy scammers targeting thirsty Sibu folk


SIBU: Scammers are taking advantage of limited stocks of shandy (a light alcoholic beverage) here to cheat people with two people already falling victim.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday (Jan 22) at the Aspirasi service centre here, a 46-year old housewife claimed she had lost a total of RM2,400 to the scammers while her nephew's friend in Sarikei had also been conned out of RM750.
