We have all got it before. A phone call from a random or unknown number followed by a pre-recorded message saying you have outstanding summonses or court cases. Then you are transferred to a stranger who claims to be a police officer or from other law enforcement agencies who advises you to make money transfers to "settle" the case. Usually, they also ask you for your private bank account details to "facilitate" the transfer. Most of us know what this is. Just the common everyday Macau scammer trying to eke out a dishonest living. But do government agencies like the Inland Revenue Board (LHDN) actually have officers call members of the public for official matters?
