Watch out! There are many ways in which we get duped

PETALING JAYA: There are several types of scams widely used by fraudsters but almost all begin with attempts to contact potential victims through various methods, including phone calls, online messages, SMS texts, email and even face-to-face interactions.

One of the common methods is to pose as an official from government agencies such as the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN), Employees Provident Fund (EPF), the police and even financial institutions.
