Man scammed over RM100,000 for trying to help mom find love


KULAI: A 34-year-old company director only wanted his mother to be happy when he forked out more than RM140,000 for her to marry a charming stranger that she “met” through a social messaging app.

However, it turned out to be a love scam when the groom-to-be disappeared after receiving the funds, says Kulai OCPD Asst Comm Tan Seng Lee.
