KUALA TERENGGANU: A businessman lost RM932,300 after falling victim to a bogus college procurement project in Kemaman.
Kuala Terengganu OCPD Asst Comm Azli Mohd Noor said the 52-year-old victim received a WhatsApp message on May 28 from a man claiming to be a representative of the college.
He said the suspect offered the victim a closed tender for the supply of portable generator sets.
“The victim made deposits totalling RM932,300 into two different bank accounts using company funds and personal savings.
“However, upon checking with the college, the victim discovered that no such tender had been offered,” ACP Azli said in a statement, Bernama reported.
The victim lodged a police report at 11.53pm on Friday, and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
