KUANTAN: An elderly vegetable trader in Cameron Highlands lost RM958,088 after falling victim to a 'phone scam', tempted by a plot to inherit a fortune concocted by an online crime syndicate.
Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the 69-year-old male victim first received a call through Facebook from a suspect posing as a bank officer on March 30 last year.
