Accountant’s RM776,000 vanishes in non-existent Accerx investment

Victim, enticed by lucrative returns on Facebook advertisement, engaged with four unknown individuals via WhatsApp to join scheme

BATU PAHAT – An accountant is believed to have lost RM776,000 as a result of a non-existent investment scam since last October.

Batu Pahat district police chief Ismail Dollah said the 49-year-old victim initially saw an advertisement on Facebook about an investment promising lucrative returns.

He said the victim then communicated with four individuals through WhatsApp to join the Accerx investment scheme.

“After contacting the four individuals, she was told that she would have to buy and sell cryptocurrency, and the suspects then instructed her to download the Accerx Malaysia application.

“She also agreed to give her particulars, such as her name, identity card number and bank account information, for registration purposes,” he said in a statement today. 

Ismail said the victim then made cash deposits into 23 different bank accounts in stages and found that she had made a hefty profit when she checked via her Accerx Malaysia app.   

However, the victim was told to pay 1% of her profit if she wanted to withdraw her returns.

“The victim, who failed to pay the amount, then found her Accerx Malaysia account blocked and, so far, has not received any profit from the investments.

“She lodged a police report at the Batu Pahat police station on Monday and the case is being investigated under Section 420 of the Penal Code for cheating,” he said. – January 31, 2024
