S’wak company loses almost RM1 mil after accountant duped into transferring funds

Victim from China says ‘Chinese Embassy rep’ told her there were issues with her passport and her workplace is being investigated for money laundering

SIBU – A company in Sarawak incurred nearly RM1 million in losses after phone scammers duped its accountant into believing the business was being investigated for money laundering activities.

Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Mancha Ata said in a statement today the victim, a 22-year-old Chinese national, received a phone call in the middle of this month from an individual claiming to be from the Chinese Embassy in Malaysia.

“The suspect told the woman that there was a problem with her passport in regards to her entering and exiting Malaysia.

“She was then asked about her work and place of employment before being told that someone in her company was being investigated for money laundering.”

He said the woman was instructed to transfer the company’s funds – totalling some RM980,000 – into two accounts provided by the suspect (claiming to be)  for investigation purposes, which she carried out in five transactions.

“The suspect promised that the money would be returned by the end of May after the investigation was completed, and also instructed her to delete all records of the phone calls between them.”

Mancha said the woman, realising later she had likely been scammed, filed a police report on Thursday.

“At the time the police report was filed, none of the company’s money had been returned.” – May 24, 2024
