KUALA BERANG: Two separate scam cases in Terengganu have cost victims nearly RM190,000, with a civil servant losing RM119,000 to a phone scam and a housewife losing RM70,731 to a fake job scheme.
Hulu Terengganu OCPD Supt Sharudin Abdu Wahab said on Nov 16 last year, the 43-year-old civil servant was contacted by a female suspect posing as an insurance officer, claiming she was implicated in money laundering and needed to pay RM188,000 to avoid arrest.
