IN this day and age, it seems like more and more scammers are choosing to pose either as employees of government agencies or as their agents in a bid to find new victims.
Recently, a claim went viral online that scammers are posing as Agensi Kaunseling dan Pengurusan Kredit (AKPK) agents who will help the public with their loan restructuring for a fee of 10% of the entire loan.
Is this true?
VERDICT:
FALSE
This is in fact false, and the AKPK has come out with a post on its official Facebook page warning people to be aware of those posing as its agents.
"The AKPK has no agents and does not impose a charge (for loan restructuring)," it said in the post.
It added that the agency has never appointed any agents or third parties to perform its services.
