SEREMBAN: Police have detained 11 suspects in a raid on two online scam centres, says Negri Sembilan police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Alzafny Ahmad.
He said preliminary investigations found that the centres, which offered nonexistent loans to its targets, have scammed Malaysians of some RM315,000 so far.
"The syndicate was found to be operating via Facebook and mobile applications.
"We also managed to seize, among other items, 33 mobile phones, 23 bank cards, two laptops and one monitor worth a total of RM20,000," he said in a statement on Friday (Aug 29).
DCP Alzafny said six of the suspects had criminal records for cheating under Section 420 of the Penal Code.
He also advised the public to exercise caution when applying for loans online.
