SEREMBAN: A 71-year-old retiree and a 49-year-old accountant have been scammed of RM1.4mil in a non-existent investment scheme here, says Deputy Comm Datuk Ahmad Dzaffir Mohd Yussof.

The Negri Sembilan police chief said both victims claimed they were attracted to purported investment schemes which offered high returns via Facebook but were later found to be fraudulent.
