ACTRESS Lana Nodin lost nearly RM12,000 to a married couple in a scam, Harian Metro reported.
Lana, 46, said the husband and wife, who run a textile company, had failed to deliver the hijab orders she placed back in January.
“This has been going on since January, but I didn’t realise that actress Abby Abadi had also been scammed and had lashed out at the same people.
“I later found out that many others had also fallen victim to them, losing tens of thousands of ringgit,” she added.
Lana said she had lodged a report at the Taman Melawati police station.
