“The suspect would then carry out repeated transactions without the victim’s knowledge, causing losses amounting to tens of thousands of ringgit,” he said in a statement today.
Mohd Khairi said police are working with banks and Bank Negara Malaysia to trace the transactions and identify the mule account holders.
He advised the public not to fall for suspicious offers on social media.
“Users should first verify any dubious links with their bank through official channels.
“Never share OTP information with anyone, and immediately report to the Scam Response Centre (CCID) at 997 or via the portal https://semakmule.rmp.gov.my,” he said.
