IPOH, Oct 20 — A local woman suffered losses of more than RM129,000 after being duped by a non-existent online part-time job offer.
Kampar District Police Chief Supt Mohamad Nazri Daud said that his department received a report yesterday from the 34-year-old victim.
“Initial police investigations found that the victim saw an offer for a part-time job related to hotel bookings through social media. Interested, the victim left her phone number to be contacted by the party offering the job.
“The victim received a message from an unknown individual offering the job. The victim was then added to a WhatsApp group supposedly for handling online hotel booking transactions,” he said in a statement today.
