JOHOR BARU: A 19-year-old college student from Kuala Lumpur has lost almost RM15,000 after falling prey to a part-time job scam she found on social media.

The woman, who only wanted to be known as Wendy, said she saw an advertisement on Facebook about a job where she could get commissions by simply leaving good reviews for an airline company.
