Swiss duped in watch scam


JOHOR BARU: A Swiss businessman flew all the way to Malaysia to lodge a police report that he had been duped of almost RM900,000 in a luxury watch scam.

Apparently, he had earlier befriended a so-called watch dealer in Kuala Lumpur who offered to sell five Patek Philippe and Rolex timepieces – both top Swiss watch brands – at prices of between US$20,000 (RM93,340) and US$60,000 (RM280,000) each.
