hai banyakkali dah terjadi ...senang sangat ke kena tipu...sampai rm1.1 juta tuWoman conned of RM1.12mil by ‘Englishman
SUNGAI PETANI: A woman’s wish to see her daughter married off to an Englishman was dashed when she was scammed of RM1.12mil. According to Kuala Muda OCPD Asst Comm Md Zukir Md Isa, the 47-year-old pharmacy owner made several bank transactions to the man, known as Marshal Collins, over a period of four months after he promised to marry her daughter. He said the man first contacted the woman’s 22-year-old daughter via Facebook early this year. The scammer, who claimed to be from the United Kingdom, told the woman’s daughter that he would give her £200,000 (RM1.27mil), along with other expensive gifts such as a handphone, jewellery and perfume.
“However, the man told the woman and her daughter that in order for him to get all the gifts, they first had to bank in some money. “The woman willingly made a total of 59 bank transactions to nine bank accounts belonging to eight individuals from June 4 to Oct 2, amounting to RM1.12mil,” ACP Md Zukir told reporters here yesterday. He added that when asked for updates on the gifts, the man would give excuses and assure the woman and her daughter that the gifts would reach them. The women only realised that they had been cheated when the man asked them for another RM1.6mil. They lodged a police report on Oct 9.
