KUCHING, Oct 6: Police have reminded the public not to be easily deceived by vehicle sale advertisements on social media offering unusually low prices, following a case in Bau in which an individual lost RM25,000.
According to a post on Facebook, on Aug 20, the victim was drawn in by an advertisement on Facebook offering a Toyota Corolla Cross 1.8A for RM31,000.
The victim then communicated via WhatsApp with an individual who went by the name ‘Mr Pun’ from an outsourcing agency, as well as another individual who claimed to be CS The from a towing company.
After agreeing to the advertised vehicle price, the victim was instructed to make a down payment and several other payments, purportedly for processing purposes, before the vehicle could be delivered.
