Accounts clerk loses almost RM300,000 to part-time job scam

KUANTAN: An accounts clerk lost nearly RM300,000 after falling victim to a syndicate offering fake part-time jobs via TikTok last month.

Pahang police chief Comm Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the 52-year-old woman had come into contact with an individual through the application on Aug 1, before being offered a part-time job through a link replicating an established e-commerce platform.
