Current scams are like a virus that evolves and mutates


PETALING JAYA: It is the same old story. They lure investors, promise exceptionally high monthly returns and when the fund is “ripe”, the crooks pull the plug and seemingly disappear into thin air with hundreds of millions of ringgit defrauded.

The money is often the hard-earned cash of victims who are mostly wage earners with poor financial literacy.
