Cops bust two online scam rings


SHAH ALAM: Two online scam syndicates targeting overseas victims have been busted, with 11 suspects arrested in separate police raids.

Selangor police chief Comm Datuk Shazeli Kahar said raids were conducted on Nov 3 and 10 at locations in Sungai Long and Taman Aman Perdana in Klang.

“The operations led to the arrest of 11 suspects, including a local man. All were aged between 22 and 45,” he said at the state police headquarters yesterday.

Investigations found that both groups were involved in love and investment scams targeting foreign victims.

Police also seized computer equipment worth about RM20,000, including six laptops.

The syndicates are believed to have been operating since September this year.

“In the Klang case, all the suspects remain in remand until Nov 14 to assist in investigations,” he added.
